Occupational gender segregation--the tendency for women and men to work in different occupations--is an important feature of all societies, and particularly the wealthy industrialized ones. To understand this segregation, and to explain its significance, we need to distinguish between vertical segregation entailing inequality and horizontal segregation representing difference without inequality...

Recent research on speech segregation and music fingerprinting has led to improvements in speech segregation and music identification algorithms. Speech and music segregation generally involves the identification of music followed by speech segregation. However, music segregation becomes a challenging task in the presence of noise. This paper proposes a novel method of speech segregation for un...

hybrid populations (f3) derived from cross between four moderate salt-resistant spring wheat (triticum aestivum l.) were assessed for transgressive segregation of salt-tolerant genotypes allowing germination and emergence at 350 mm nacl for 30 days. the achieved selection intensity was the order of 0.24-0.27 in these segregation populations (22-25 seedlings from 9000 seeds). assessment of trans...

Proper chromosome segregation is of paramount importance for proper genetic inheritance. Defects in chromosome segregation can lead to aneuploidy, which is a hallmark of cancer cells. Eukaryotic chromosome segregation is accomplished by the bipolar spindle. Additional mechanisms, such as the spindle assembly checkpoint and centromere positioning, further help to ensure complete segregation fide...

The aim of this paper is twofold: a) to define a new concept, the welfare loss that a society can experience due to the segregation of the demographic groups that comprise it and b) to quantify this phenomenon by proposing measures that satisfy a set of desirable normative properties. For that purpose, this paper offers a framework that involves, firstly, to deal with the well-being losses (gai...
