Understanding information coding is important for resolving the functions of visual neural circuits. The motion vision system is a classic model for studying information coding as it contains a concise and complete information-processing circuit. In Drosophila, the axon terminals of motion-detection neurons (T4 and T5) project to the lobula plate, which comprises four regions that respond to th...

Pandemi Covid-19 telah memberi dampak bagi kehidupan manusia. Untuk mengurangi penularan virus Covid-19, kegiatan masyarakat di luar hunian dan bertemu dengan orang banyak sebagian besar beralih dilakukan dalam hunian. Kebiasaan baru ini membawa berbagai perubahan penyesuaian sebagai bentuk adaptasi terhadap pandemi. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi pada era pandemi Covid-19. menggunak...

Comparison of human and mouse genomes has revealed that many non-coding regions have levels of sequence conservation similar to protein-coding genes. These regions have attracted a lot of attention as potentially functional genomic sequences. However, little is known about the effect mutations in these conserved non-coding regions have on fitness and how many of them are present in the human ge...

Grounded Theory is a qualitative research method. Its main purpose to establish theory based on empirical data, emphasizing the understanding of social interaction, processes and changes from perspective actors. Generally, there no theoretical hypothesis before start research. It starts actual observation, summarizes experience original then rises system theory. This method establishing substan...

We propose two schemes for selective-repeat ARQ protocols over packet erasure channels with unreliable feedback: (i) a hybrid ARQ protocol with soft combining at the receiver, and (ii) a coded ARQ protocol, by building on the uncoded baseline scheme for ARQ, developed by Ausavapattanakun and Nosratinia. Our method leverages discrete-time queuing and coding theory to analyze the performance of t...

Numerous studies have identified the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) as an area critically involved in numerical processing. IPS neurons in macaques are tuned to a preferred numerosity, hence neurally coding numerosity in a number-selective way. Neuroimaging studies in humans have demonstrated number-selective processing in the anterior parts of the IPS. Nevertheless, the processes that convert visu...

Energy-efficient designs play an important role in the Internet of Things (IoT) that monitors multiple phenomena, due to limited power supply and complicated observation. In this paper, taking into account consumptions observation, coding, communication, we propose a joint sparse observation coding scheme for energy-efficient monitoring phenomena using IoT. Through analysis outage performance, ...

After an evolving lineage splits, independent mutation and random drift in the new lineages lead to divergence of their homologous DNA sequences. Different positive selection in the new lineages accelerates their divergence, while uniform negative selection due to retention of the same function in all lineages leads to selective constraint and slows the divergence down [2]. Protein-coding regio...
