Genes that are more closely spaced on the chromosome than expected by chance are said to be spatially clustered. Standard tests of clustering versus uniformity do not take into account two important features of genes—the high variability of gene length and the low probability that gene locations overlap (exclusion). We show by simulation that the standard null distributions which ignore length ...

The UF Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Insititute [1] (OSMI) treats a diverse nature of conditions. Our primary facility is located in Gainesville, Florida, adjacent to the west side of the University of Florida campus [2]. To save time, it is recommended to download/complete the patient registration forms [3] and bring them with you on your visit. If you are a referring office requesting cons...

We present a Unifying Theories of Programming (UTP) model of locations, where a location is either shareable or containable depending on whether its value can be dereferenced by a pointer. Our model of locations is similar to previous work on pointers within the UTP; the main difference is that the previous work on pointers only modelled shareable locations. We explain why containable locations...

We show that people’s travel destinations are predictable based on simple features of their home and destination. Using geotagged Twitter data from over 200,000 people in the U.S., with a median of 10 visits per user, we use machine learning to classify whether or not a person will visit a given location. We find that travel distance is the most important predictive feature. Ignoring distance, ...

background and objectives: making a reliable prediction of drought index status for the future is one of the major elements in a successful water resources management particularly under climate change processes, including increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, temperature and fluctuations in rainfall. the present study aims at assessing drought trend under changing climate condit...
