A simple formula for obtaining markedly improved mutation rate estimates.
In previous work by M. E. Jones and colleagues, it was shown that mutation rate estimates can be improved and corresponding confidence intervals tightened by following a very easy modification of the standard fluctuation assay: cultures are grown to a larger-than-usual final density, and mutants are screened for in only a fraction of the culture. Surprisingly, this very promising development ha...
متن کاملNotable steps in obtaining improved estimates for glomerular filtration rate.
Knowledge of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is of crucial importance in the management of patients. In addition to a general evaluation of kidney function, a more precise assessment is valuable on many occasions, e.g., to detect early impairment of renal function, to allow correct dosage of drugs cleared by the kidneys, to monitor renal transplants, and to evaluate patients before use of ...
متن کاملImproved Estimates of Kinematic Wave Parameters for Circular Channels
The momentum equation in the kinematic wave model is a power-law equation with two parameters. These parameters, which relate the discharge to the flow area, are commonly derived using Manning’s equation. In general, the values of these parameters depend on the flow depth except for some special cross sections. In this paper, improved estimates of the kinematic wave parameters for circular chan...
متن کاملThe role of mutation rate in a simple colonization model
We study the effect of mutations in a simple model of colonization, based on Montecarlo simulations. When the population colonizes the whole available habitat, a maximum population density is reached, which depends on the mutation rate. Depending on the values of other parameters, such as selection pressure, fecundity and mobility, there is an optimal value for the mutation rate for which the c...
متن کاملA Simple Counting Formula for Lattice Paths
Let α,β ,x,y be positive integers. Fix a line L : Y = αX + β , and a lattice point Q(x,y) on L. It is well known that the number of lattice paths from the origin to Q which touches L only at Q is given by β x + y ( x + y x )
