A recently developed technique called RNA Sequencing (RNA-Seq) uses massively parallel sequencing to allow transcriptome analyses of genomes at a far higher resolution than is available with Sanger sequencing- and microarray-based methods. In the RNA-Seq method, complementary DNAs (cDNAs) generated from the RNA of interest are directly sequenced using next-generation sequencing technologies. Th...

abstract a major part of iran includes mountain areas. one of the hazards which threaten these areas is the slope instability. each year the occurrence of this phenomenon causes a lot of damages to the slope lands which are exploited by man. one of the most lot hazardous of these instabilities is landslide. the goal was to investigate the causes of this process and the methods of its stabilizat...

[1] We compare morphologies of drainage basins on Mars and Earth in order to confine the formation process ofMartian valley networks. Basins on both planets are computationally extracted from digital topography. Integral-geometry methods are used to represent each basin by a circularity function that encapsulates its internal structure. The shape of such a function is an indicator of the style ...

Robot navigation in unknown environments requires an efficient exploration method. Exploration involves not only to determine towards the robot must to move but also motion planning, and simultaneous localization and mapping processes. The final goal of the exploration task is to build a map of the environment that previously the robot didn’t know. This work proposes the Voronoi Fast Marching m...

Nowadays, in modern societies, growing activities in construction affairs and their economic development have been resulted construction wastes and so much demolition in the past three decades. Most of these wastes have not been treated and therefore caused severe damages to the environment. In this research, after reviewing construction and demolition management methods and their accesso...

Kohonen's self-organizing map (SOM) is a widely used technique to cluster unstructured data. It has applications in computer graphics, image processing, robotics, soft-computing and many more. The exact speci cation and time requirements may vary according to the concrete application, therefore a re-design of Kohonen's SOM o ering several di erent performance/cost trade-o s by using special pur...

We present a combined near-infrared and molecular-line study of 25 × 8 area in the Northern streamer of the IC 5146 cloud. Using the technique pioneered by Lada et al. (1994), we construct a Gaussian smoothed map of the infrared extinction with the same resolution as the molecular line observations in order to examine correlations of integrated intensities and molecular abundances with extincti...

A major application for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) has been the emerging field of causal inference using Mendelian randomization (MR), where the causal effect between a pair of traits can be estimated using only summary level data. MR depends on SNPs exhibiting vertical pleiotropy, where the SNP influences an outcome phenotype only through an exposure phenotype. Issues arise when th...

Escherichia coli DNA was digested with restriction endonucleases BamHI, PstI, EcoRI, SalI, HindIII, XhoI, BglII, SmaI, HpaI and with selected double and triple combinations of the same enzymes. The digests were electrophoresed and hybridized with 32P-labelled ribosomal RNA by using the Southern blotting technique. The resulting bands could be arranged into seven groups, and it was possible to c...

Label ranking aims to map instances to an order over a predefined set of labels. It is ideal that the label ranking model is trained by directly maximizing performance measures on training data. However, existing studies on label ranking models mainly based on the minimization of classification errors or rank losses. To fill in this gap in label ranking, in this paper a novel label ranking mode...
