SNOMAD is a collection of algorithms for the normalization and standardization of gene expression datasets derived from diverse biological and technological sources. In addition to conventional transformations and visualization tools, SNOMAD includes two non-linear transformations which correct for bias and variance which are non-uniformly distributed across the range of microarray element sign...

We propose an unsupervised late-fusion approach for the results merging task, based on combining the ranks from all the search engines. Our idea is based on the known pressure for Web search engines to put the most relevant documents at the very top of their ranks and the intuition that relevance of a document should increase as it appears on more search engines [9]. We performed experiments wi...

Spectral measures for fundamental representations of the rank two Lie groups SU(3), Sp(2) and G2 have been studied. Since these groups have rank two, these spectral measures can be defined as measures over their maximal torus T2 and are invariant under an action of the corresponding Weyl group, which is a subgroup of GL(2,Z). Here we consider spectral measures invariant under an action of the o...

Let A denote the class of analytic functions with the normalization f(0) = f ′(0) − 1 = 0 in the open unit disk U = {z : |z| < 1}, set f b,λ(z) = z + ∞ ∑ k=2 (k + b 1 + b )n (k + λ− 1)! λ!(k − 1)! z k (n ∈ C, b ∈ C \ Z−, λ > −1; z ∈ U). and define (fn b,λ) (−1) in terms of the Hadamard product f b,λ(z) ∗ (f b,λ)(z) = z (1 − z)μ (μ > 0; z ∈ U). In this paper, the authors introduce several new su...

Data normalization is essential for all kinds of decision-making problems, and a lot effort has been spent on the development models in multi-criteria decision making (MCDM), but despite this, there no definite answer to question: Which most appropriate technique?. This paper compares popular techniques: Linear Normalization (LN) Vector (VN) using VIšekriterijumsko KOmpromisno Rangiranje (VIKOR...

micrornas (mirnas) are short, endogenous non-coding rnas that function as guide molecules to regulate transcription of their target messenger rnas. several methods including low-density qpcr arrays are being increasingly used to profile the expression of these molecules in a variety of different biological conditions. reliable analysis of expression profiles demands removal of technical variati...

Abstract. The zero forcing number Z(G), which is the minimum number of vertices in a zero forcing set of a 1 graph G, is used to study the maximum nullity/minimum rank of the family of symmetric matrices described by 2 G. It is shown that for a connected graph of order at least two, no vertex is in every zero forcing set. The positive 3 semidefinite zero forcing number Z+(G) is introduced, and ...

Working over the field Q(t), Kihara constructed an elliptic curve with torsion group Z/4Z and five independent rational points, showing the rank is at least five. Following his approach, we give a new infinite family of elliptic curves with torsion group Z/4Z and rank at least five. This matches the current record for such curves. In addition, we give specific examples of these curves with high...
