Stocks of Rous sarcoma virus Bryan strain were mutagenized using a bromodeoxyuridine treatment immediately after infection. Thirty temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants defective in transformation (td) were isolated by a replica plating technique. Twenty of these mutants were preliminarily characterized and found to be defective in late functions related to transformation. These mutants were used ...

In this work, a Multi-Level Artificial Bee Colony (called MLABC) for optimizing numerical test functions is presented. In MLABC, two species are used. The first species employs n colonies where each of them optimizes the complete solution vector. The cooperation between these colonies is carried out by exchanging information through a leader co lony, which contain s a set of elite bees. The sec...

We are conducting a series of investigations whose primary objective is to demonstrate that boundedly rational agents, operating with fairly elementary computational mechanisms, can adapt to achieve approximately optimal strategies for bargaining with other agents in complex and dynamic environments of multilateral negotiations that humans find challenging. In this paper, we present results fro...

Partible paternity refers to the conception belief that children can have multiple fathers ("co-fathers") and is common to indigenous cultures of lowland South America. The nature of social relationships observed between co-fathers reveals information about the reproductive strategies underlying partible paternity. Here we analyze clan, genealogical, and social relationships between co-fathers ...

Discriminability and transferability are two goals of feature learning for domain adaptation (DA), as we aim to find the transferable features from source that helpful discriminating class label in target domain. Modern DA approaches optimize discriminability by adopting separate modules upon a extractor, but lack fully exploiting their relationship. This paper argues letting discriminative mod...

Anomaly detection from Big Cybersecurity Datasets is very important; however, this a challenging and computationally expensive task. Feature selection (FS) an approach to remove irrelevant redundant features select subset of features, which can improve the machine learning algorithms’ performance. In fact, FS effective preprocessing step anomaly techniques. This article’s main objective quantif...
