Divergent gene pairs (DGPs) are abundant in eukaryotic genomes. Since two genes in a DGP potentially share the same regulatory sequence, one might expect that they should be co-regulated. However, an inspection of yeast DGPs containing cell-cycle or stress response genes revealed that most DGPs are differentially-regulated. The mechanism underlying DGP differential regulation is not understood....

This paper proposes the minimization of α-divergences for approximate inference in context deep Gaussian processes (DGPs). The proposed method can be considered as a generalization variational (VI) and expectation propagation (EP), two previously used methods DGPs. Both VI EP are based on Kullback-Leibler divergence. is scalable version power propagation, that introduces an extra parameter α sp...

In order to realize the farmland information pinpointing acquisition, this paper has conducted the technology research for farmland information collecting and processing based on the DGPS. According to the precision agriculture’s demand which agricultural condition information should be made positional, fast, precise, continuous acquisition, system uses the DGPS receiver and the touch-screen co...

A novel method of map matching using the Global Positioning System (GPS) has been developed which uses digital mapping and height data to augment point position computation. This method reduces the error in position, which is a sum from several sources, including signal delay due to the ionosphere and atmosphere and until recently from ‘selective availability’ (S/A). S/A was imposed by the USmi...

BACKGROUND The onset of coeliac disease (CD) in the first year of life is uncommon and the diagnosis can be challenging due to the suboptimal sensitivity of tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG) at this age and the many other possible causes of malabsorption in infants. Antibodies to deamidated gliadin peptides (anti-DGPs), especially IgG, may appear earlier than IgA anti-tTG in very young c...

Frölich (2004) compares the finite sample properties of reweighting and matching estimators of average treatment effects and concludes that reweighting performs far worse than even the simplest matching estimator. We argue that this conclusion is unjustified. Neither approach dominates the other uniformly across data generating processes (DGPs). Expanding on the Frölich’s (2004) analysis, this ...

The objective of this study is the development of auto-navigation system which supports activities of the visually impaired without help of others. This system navigates the subject by using information about three sensors(acceleration sensor, terestrial magnetism sensor and gyro sensor), DGPS(Di erential Global Positioning System), maps and a traÆc data base. In our navigation system, after in...

This paper presents a study of the effects of compass bias on navigational accuracy of autonomous underwater vehicles. Low cost vehicle systems utilize a magnetometer, and Doppler sonar for dead reckoning, and a DGPS fix when surfaced. By learning the compass bias from a few DGPS fixes, the navigational errors can be bounded with only a small number of fixes. The study is conducted using the Fl...
