We explore several computational approaches to analyzing interspecies genomic sequence alignments, aiming to distinguish regulatory regions from neutrally evolving DNA. Human-mouse genomic alignments were collected for three sets of human regions: (1) experimentally defined gene regulatory regions, (2) well-characterized exons (coding sequences, as a positive control), and (3) interspersed repe...

This paper presents a bijection between ascent sequences and upper triangular matrices whose non-negative entries are such that all rows and columns contain at least one non-zero entry. We show the equivalence of several natural statistics on these structures under this bijection and prove that some of these statistics are equidistributed. Several special classes of matrices are shown to have s...

This paper proposes a new class of random sequences called binary primes tableau (PT) sequences that have potential applications in cryptography and communications. The PT sequence of rank p is obtained from numbers arranged in a tableau with p columns where primes are marked off until each column has at least one prime and where the column entries are added modulo 2. We also examine the dual t...

This paper describes a framework and a high level language tool for comparative analysis of genome sequence alignment. The framework integrates the infirmation derived from multiple sequence alignment and phylogeny to derive new properties about homologous sequences. Multiple sequence alignments are treated as an abstract data type. Abstract operations have been described to manipulate a multip...

Stereoscopic vision is extremely precise in detecting minute diierences between adjacent depth planes, but quite imprecise in estimating absolute depth. In this paper, we address the issue of the spatial acuity (and not the stereo acuity) of stereopsis. Static RDS (random dot stereograms) stimuli were used to nd the spatial grain in which human stereoscopic vision operates. Using psychophysical...

Automatic hydraulic press is widely used for pressing ceramic wall and floor tiles, the four columns of its frame withstand the all work force when it works, so the columns are the key compartments of the frame, and its work performance has an important impact on the structural performance of the entire automatic hydraulic press. Took the column thread connection of 32.8MN automatic hydraulic p...

fiber reinforced polymers (frp) have widely used for the purposes of enhances strength and ductility of concrete columns. proper design of such hybrid columns, however, requires a better recognition of the behavior of concrete columns confined with frp. in this paper, the influence of frp thickness, concrete compressive strength, and column size on the performance of eccentrically loaded reacti...

As with pairwise alignment, multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) are typically scored by assigning a score to each column and summing over the columns. The most common approach to scoring individual columns in a multiple alignment is to calculate a score for each pair of symbols in the column, and then sum over the pair scores. This is called sum-of-pairs or SP-scoring. For global multiple seque...

For an arbitrary matrix A of n×n symbols, consider its submatrices of size k×k, obtained by deleting n−k rows and n−k columns. Optionally, the deleted rows and columns can be selected symmetrically or independently. We consider the problem of whether these multisets determine matrix A. Following the ideas of Krasikov and Roditty in the reconstruction of sequences from subsequences, we replace t...
