In massive open online courses (MOOCs), recommendation relationships present a collection of associations that imply new form integration, such as an interdisciplinary synergy among diverse disciplines. This study took computer science approach, using the susceptible-infected (SI) model to simulate process learners accessing within networks MOOC offerings, and emphasized potential effects netwo...

Even if considerable progress has been achieved towards the understanding of natural variation in plant systems, the contribution of transcript abundance variation to phenotypic diversity remains unappreciated. Over the last decade, efforts to characterise the genome-wide expression variation in natural accessions, structured populations and hybrids have improved our knowledge of the contributi...

We report on the development of algorithms for solving the Quadratic 3-dimensional Assignment Problem (Q3AP). The application is a hybrid ARQ scheme for enriching diversity among multiple packet transmissions by optimizing the mapping of transmission symbols to data. Our current exact algorithm, based on a reformulation linearization technique, solves Q3AP instances of size 13 or smaller. Our f...

We have combined three different methods, deletion mapping of T-cell lines, field-inversion gel electrophoresis, and the restriction mapping of a cosmid clone, to construct a physical map of the murine T-cell receptor beta-chain gene family. We have mapped 19 variable (V beta) gene segments and the two clusters of diversity (D beta) and joining (J beta) gene segments and constant (C beta) genes...

Next-generation sequencing opens the way for genomic studies of diversity even for non-model crops and animals. Genome reduction techniques are becoming progressively more popular as they allow a fraction of the genome to be sequenced for multiple individuals and/or populations. These techniques are an efficient way to explore genome diversity in non-model crops and animals for which no referen...

To investigate the motecular basis for the phenotypic diversity and evolutionary reltttionships within Ory7,a sativa, we performed large-scate end sequencing and chromosomal in silico mapping (mapping by sequence homology) ot' rice BAC (bacterial rtificial chromosome) clones derived from an indica rice cultivar, `Kasalath'. In total, 78,427 high-quality BAC-end sequences (BESs) showing an avera...

A new method of genetic programming, named chemical genetic programming (CGP), which enables evolutionary optimization of the mapping from genotypic strings to phenotypic trees is proposed. A cell is evolved, and includes a DNA string that codes the fundamental mapping from DNA code to computational functionality. Genetic modification of a cell’s DNA allows the DNA code and the genotype-topheno...

Background and Aim: Brain mapping is a study of the anatomy and function of the CNS (central nervous system). Brain mapping has many techniques and these techniques are permanently changing and updating. From the beginning, brain mapping was invasive and for brain mapping, electrical stimulation of the exposed brain was needed. However, nowadays brain mapping does not require electrical stimula...
