Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) comprises numerous isolates with various levels of in-host diversity. Subgroup-distinctive features of the Fny and LS strains provided us with a platform to genetically map the viral control elements for genetic variation in planta. We found that both RNAs 1 and 2 controlled levels of genetic diversity, and further fine mapping revealed that the control elements of m...

Measuring the intellectual diversity encoded in publication records as a proxy to the degree of interdisciplinarity has recently received considerable attention in the science mapping community. The present paper draws upon the use of the Stirling index as a diversity measure applied to a network model (customized science map) of research profiles, proposed by several authors. A modified versio...

The joint optimization scheme that combined asymmetric modulation with modulation diversity in bitinterleaved space-time coded modulation system (BI-STCM) was proposed. The upper pairwise error possibility was analyzed in BI-STCM under Rayleigh fading channels. The method of achieving modulation diversity and the optimal rotated angle of the constellation to achieve the maximum diversity gain w...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most abundant form of genetic variation in the genome. In this poster, we reviewed what has been achieved in terms of highly-multiplexed SNP genotyping assay construction in maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.), the main conifer used for commercial plantation in southwestern Europe. Seven custom SNP-assays (384 and 1536-plex), oriented towards broad...

This paper describes two joint linkage-linkage disequilibrium (LD) mapping approaches: parallel mapping (independent linkage and LD analysis) and integrated mapping (datasets analyzed in combination). These approaches were achieved using 2,052 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, including 659 SNPs developed from drought-response candidate genes, screened across three recombinant inbre...

In the last few years, low-cost UAV systems have been acknowledged as an affordable technology for geospatial data acquisition that can meet the needs of a variety of traditional and non-traditional mapping applications. In spite of its proven potential, UAV-based mapping is still lacking in terms of what is needed for it to become an acceptable mapping tool. In other words, a well-designed sys...

OBJECTIVES The Web provides a huge source of information, also on medical and health-related issues. In particular the content of medical social media data can be diverse due to the background of an author, the source or the topic. Diversity in this context means that a document covers different aspects of a topic or a topic is described in different ways. In this paper, we introduce an approac...

Recent years have seen a rise in the efforts to implement diversity topics into medical education, using either a 'narrow' or a 'broad' definition of culture. These developments urge that outcomes of such efforts are systematically evaluated by mapping the curriculum for diversity-responsive content. This study was aimed at using an intersectionality-based approach to define diversity-related l...
