Twenty-two genotypes of Brassica (B. rapa, B. juncea, and B. napus) were studied for correlation co-efficient between major fatty acids and path coefficient analysis to partition the cause and effect relationship into direct and indirect components. Correlation coefficient of major fatty acids revealed that significant and positive correlation was between palmitic and oleic acids, palmitic and ...

We consider the generic regularized optimization problem β̂(λ) = arg minβ L(y,Xβ) + λJ (β). Efron, Hastie, Johnstone and Tibshirani [Ann. Statist. 32 (2004) 407–499] have shown that for the LASSO—that is, if L is squared error loss and J (β)= ‖β‖1 is the 1 norm of β—the optimal coefficient path is piecewise linear, that is, ∂β̂(λ)/∂λ is piecewise constant. We derive a general characterization of ...

The purpose of this paper is to assess the statistical characterization of weighted networks in terms of the generalization of the relevant parameters, namely, average path length, degree distribution, and clustering coefficient. Although the degree distribution and the average path length admit straightforward generalizations, for the clustering coefficient several different definitions have b...

The purpose of this study is to verification of relationship model between Korean new elderly class's recovery resilience and productive aging. As of 2013, this study sampled preliminary elderly people in Gyeonggi-do and other provinces nationwide. Data from a total of effective 484 subjects was analyzed. The collected data was processed using the IBM SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 20.0, and underwent desc...

In this paper, to model the path-loss characteristics in urban line-ofsight(LOS) propagation, we performed measurements in Goyang, Republic of Korea, at a frequency of 2.4GHz using the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. Although path-loss variance for any street existed, measurements yielded a typical pathloss of PL(dB) = L r    ) ( log 10 10  , where  is the path-loss coefficient, r is the street le...

Many complex systems may best be described as networks, which we can use graph theory to analyze their topological properties. In an organism, protein-protein interactions may also be mapped into complex network. Here we use random graph theory to analyze seven different organism protein interaction networks. Three topological properties (degree distribution, clustering coefficient and average ...

Denote by x a random infinite path in the graph of Pascal’s triangle (left and right turns are selected independently with fixed probabilities) and by dn(x) the binomial coefficient at the n’th level along the path x. Then for a dense Gδ set of θ in the unit interval, {dn(x)θ} is almost surely dense but not uniformly distributed modulo 1.

Hammada elegans is a widely distributed shrub in arid rangelands. It has a potential for reseeding. Identification of reliable and easy to measure growth attributes will help in monitoring seedling survival and establishment in reseeding projects. The aim of this study is to identify seedling growth attribute(s) that can be used to predict survival and establishment of H. elegans using simple c...
