Broccoli and cabbage are important vegetable crops that produce hybrid seeds after insect pollination; the size of floral organs is crucial for this process. To investigate the genetic characteristics of floral organ sizes (corolla width, petal length and width, and lengths of stamen, anther, style, and stigma) and to improve the flower size and breeding efficiency of broccoli, we used multi-ge...

Mapping of imprinted quantitative trait loci (iQTLs) is helpful for understanding the effects of genomic imprinting on complex traits in animals and plants. At present, the experimental designs and corresponding statistical methods having been proposed for iQTL mapping are all based on temporary populations including F2 and BC1, which can be used only once and suffer some other shortcomings res...

Bit-interleaved coded modulation with iterative decoding (BICM-ID) is a bandwidth-efficient technique for both additive white Gaussian noise and fading channels. The asymptotic performance of BICM-ID is strongly determined by how the coded bits are mapped to the symbols of the signal constellation. In this paper an explicit mapping method is presented for 32-QAM using two criteria: (i) maximiza...

To propose a high performance LTE system. The performance of an LTE system is enhanced in two stages. The first stage is to reduce the high peak to average power ratio of the OFDM signal. The second stage is to improve the channel estimation. PAPR reduction is based on the selective mapping algorithm. The channel estimated via least square method by using wavelet-based de-noising method to redu...

We propose a birth-death-merge data-driven reversible jump (DDRJ) for multiple-QTL mapping where the phenotypic trait is modeled as a linear function of the additive and dominance effects of the unknown QTL genotypes. We compare the performance of the proposed methodology, usual reversible jump (RJ) and multiple-interval mapping (MIM), using simulated and real data sets. Compared with RJ, DDRJ ...

In terms of perceptual grouping, a \good" hypothesis should form a \good" group. Therefore, any score method may beneet substantially from using perceptual grouping information. The non-additive score proposed here shows a signiicant improvement relative to the u...
