INTRODUCTION We aimed to develop and implement a short tandem repeat (STR) polymerase chain reaction alternative to fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) for the preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) of chromosomal translocations. METHODS Selected informative STRs located on translocated arms of relevant chromosomes were used to discriminate between normal and unbalanced chromosome stat...

V-engines are subjected to noise and vibrations caused due to unbalanced inertial forces and moments, which makes its operation quite complicated. In order to minimize these vibrations, the unbalanced forces and moments are analyzed on a reciprocating engine for different V-angles. Firing order has a great influence on balancing of V-engine. This paper aims at making a major contribution for se...

OBJECTIVE To report a case of a child with bipolar disorder found to have an unbalanced translocation involving the long arm of chromosome 8, a region that has been previously implicated in genome-wide linkage scans. CASE REPORT A 7-year-old boy with a complex psychiatric symptom presentation including attention deficits, distractibility, impulsivity, pressured speech, sleep disturbance, aggr...

We have previously described an incremental learning algorithm, Learn.NC, for learning from new datasets that may include new concept classes without accessing previously seen data. We now propose an extension, Learn.UDNC, that allows the algorithm to incrementally learn new concept classes from unbalanced datasets. We describe the algorithm in detail, and provide some experimental results on t...

Turkey's (1953, The Problem of Multiple Comparisons, unpublished report, Princeton University) procedure is widely used for pairwise multiple comparisons in one-way ANOVA. It provides exact simultaneous pairwise confidence intervals (SPCI) for balanced designs and conservative SPCI for unbalanced designs. In this paper, we will extend Turkey's procedure to two-way unbalanced designs. Both the e...

To the best of our knowledge, till now there is no method in the literature to find the fuzzy optimal solution of unbalanced fully fuzzy minimal cost flow (FFMCF) problems. In this paper, a new method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of these problems. The proposed method is illustrated with the help of a numerical example. Also, the proposed method is used to find the fuzzy optim...

Optimal placement of scattered generator sources in the main and secondary feeders of radial grid reduces energy losses, releases the capacity of existing feeders and improves the existing voltage profile. In this project determine the location and suitable for the production of production resources S cattered in radial feeders of unbalanced distribution networks, a new formulation solution is ...

This paper presents an approach that predicts the effectiveness of HIV combination therapies by simultaneously addressing several problems affecting the available HIV clinical data sets: the different treatment backgrounds of the samples, the uneven representation of the levels of therapy experience, the missing treatment history information, the uneven therapy representation and the unbalanced...

A {0, 1}-matrix A is balanced if it does not contain a submatrix of odd order having exactly two 1’s per row and per column. A graph is balanced if its clique-matrix is balanced. No characterization of minimally unbalanced graphs is known, and even no conjecture on the structure of such graphs has been posed, contrarily to what happened for perfect graphs. In this paper, we provide such a chara...
