population of vimba vimba persa was investigated using microsatellite markers originated from two regions along the iranian coastline of southern caspian sea (anzali lagoon and havigh river in gilan province). totally 153 alleles were identified. the highest number of alleles per ca3 loci was 17 and the lowest 3 in z8145 loci with means of 7.6. observed and expected heterozygosity averages were...

In this paper, a maximum likelihood estimation and a minimum entropy estimation for the expected value and variance of normal fuzzy variable are discussed within the framework of credibility theory. As an application, a credibilistic portfolio selection model is proposed, which is an improvement over the traditional models as it only needs the predicted values on the security returns instead of...

Background Recent analysis of eukaryotic genomes shows that genome duplication has occurred multiple times in fish, plants and yeast. This thesis presents a Bayesian procedure for estimating and inferring the timing of largescale duplications. The estimation procedure calculates the expected number of duplications over each edge in a discretized species tree, to find sites where many duplicatio...
