A common challenge in analysis of transcriptomic data is to identify differentially expressed genes, i.e., genes whose mean transcript abundance levels differ across the levels of a factor of scientific interest. Transcript abundance levels can be measured simultaneously for thousands of genes in multiple biological samples using RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technology. Part of the variation in RNA...

Recent deep CNNs contain forward shortcut connections; i.e. skip connections from low to high layers. Reusing features from lower layers that have higher resolution (location information) benefit higher layers to recover lost details and mitigate information degradation. However, during inference the lower layers do not know about high layer features, although they contain contextual high seman...

in nutritional experiments the animals are kept in metabolic cage and are fed according to the planned interval times. a machine was designed and fabricated to feed the sheep every one or two hours. the machine operates with 220 volts electricity and the feed storing capacity is designed for three days feeding. the weight of sheep and type of feed determines the amount of feed required. by chan...

In the takeoff and early flight phase of a twisting somersault, joint coordination is based on feed-forward control whereas in the late stages of the flight phase configuration adjustments are made using feedback control to ensure accurate completion of the movement and appropriate landing orientation. The aim of this study was to use a computer simulation model of aerial movement to investigat...

In this study, we have designed and implemented a system that supports learners to use backward chaining to solve proof problems about the congruence of two triangles. In addition, we have carried out an evaluation experiment in a public junior high school to measure the learning effect of the system. As a result of hypothesis tests, for students with good pretest scores, the effect of the syst...

in this paper, a new method is introduced for improving the efficiency of the residue number system, which uses both binary and residue representations in order to represent a number. a residue number system uses the remainder of the division in several different modules. conversion of a number to smaller ones and carrying out parallel calculations on these numbers greatly increase the speed of...

We study a class of deceptively similar games, which however have different player sets and predictions that vary with their cardinality. The economic, biological, political, and psychological applications are many. The game-theoretic principles involved are compelling as predictions rely on weaker and less controversial epistemic foundations than needed to justify backward inductions more gene...
