Recent observations of complex sequences of neuronal activity, at the level of both synaptic transmission and action potential generation amongst simultaneously sampled multiple neurons, have demonstrated that such patterns can occur spontaneously in the brain. Using multielectrode array (MEA) technology we have sampled simultaneously from a large number of neurons (typically >100 neurons), acr...

The number of segregating sites provides an indicator of the degree of DNA sequence variation that is present in a sample, and has been of great interest to the biological, pharmaceutical and medical professions. In this paper, we first provide linear- and expected-sublinear-time algorithms for finding all the segregating sites of a given set of DNA sequences. We also describe a data structure ...

In this paper, we study sequences of complex numbers the first order. Multiple terms are allowed for such sequences. We also consider with a finite maximum density. construct special coverings multiple sets {λk,nk} consisting circles centered at points λk radii. particular, connected components relatively small diameter, as well that C0-sets. These act exceptional entire functions exponential t...

Prime reciprocals have applications in coding and cryptography and for generation of random sequences. This paper investigates the structural redundancy of prime reciprocals in base 10 in a manner that parallels an earlier study for binary prime reciprocals. Several different kinds of structural relationships amongst the digits in reciprocal sequences are classified with respect to the digit in...

Cassava brown streak disease is caused by two devastating viruses, Cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan cassava brown streak virus (UCBSV) which are frequently found infecting cassava, one of sub-Saharan Africa's most important staple food crops. Each year these viruses cause losses of up to $100 million USD and can leave entire families without their primary food source, for an entire...

We have studied the genetic basis of beta-lactamase production in eight strains of Haemophilus ducreyi isolated in diverse areas of the world. Beta-lactamase production in all strains was mediated by plasmids having a molecular mass of either 5.7 or 7.0 megadaltons. Plasmids of 5.7 megadaltons were shown to carry the entire sequence of pFA7, the beta-lactamase specifying plasmid found in isolat...

The transmission of the entire video and audio sequences over an internal or external network during the implementation of audio-visual recognition over internet protocol is inefficient especially when only selected data out of the entire video and audio sequences are actually used for the recognition process. Hence, in this paper, we propose an efficient method of implementing audio-visual rec...

A method is proposed for the temporal segmentation of cyclic human motion from video sequences. The proposed method is divided into three processing steps. Once silhouettes and body part locations are obtained, a set of individual 1-D signals representing motion trajectories of body parts is extracted for the entire sequence. The second step performs the individual segmentation of all signals i...

Vaccination has the potential to eradicate mumps, and 82 countries now include a live attenuated mumps vaccine as part of their childhood vaccination programme. Although, monotypic, genetic variants of mumps virus (MuV) have been described based on comparison of the SH gene sequences, and at least seven genotypes have been identified. We now report the entire sequence of a recently isolated wil...

We have analyzed the entire nucleotide sequences of complementary DNAs of the androgen receptor gene in two siblings (patients 8044 and 8047) with complete androgen insensitivity. Plasma testosterone was in the normal male range, however, androgen binding capacity was undetectable as measured in skin fibroblasts in both patients. 5alpha-reductase activity was normal in both cases confirming tha...
