This article documents the public availability of genome sequence data and assembled contigs representing the partial draft genome of Ophiocordyceps bispora. As one of the few known pathogens of fungus-farming termites, a draft genome of O. bispora represents the opportunity to further the understanding of disease and resistance in these complex termite societies. With the ongoing attempts to r...

Experiments with the Switzerland Heart Disease database have concentrated on attempting to distinguish presence and absence. The classifiers based on various neural networks, namely, MLP, PCA, Jordan, GFF, Modular, RBF, SOFM, SVM NNs and conventional statistical techniques such as DA and CART are optimally designed, thoroughly examined and performance measures are compared in this study. With c...

SUMMARY NTAP is designed to analyze ChIP-chip data generated by the NimbleGen tiling array platform and to accomplish various pattern recognition tasks that are useful especially for epigenetic studies. The modular design of NTAP makes the data processing highly customizable. Users can either use NTAP to perform the full process of NimbleGen tiling array data analysis, or choose post-processing...

Reciprocal customers may disproportionately improve the performance of markets for experience goods. Reciprocal customers reward (punish) …rms for providing good (bad) quality by upholding (terminating) the customer relation. This may induce …rms to provide good quality which, in turn, may induce a positive externality for nonreciprocal customers who would, in the absence of reciprocal types, f...

For ??(0,2), U?C, and an instance h of the Gaussian free field (GFF) on U, ?-Liouville quantum gravity (LQG) surface associated with (U,h) is formally described by Riemannian metric tensor e?h(dx2+dy2) U. Previous work authors showed that one can define a canonical (distance function) Dh U ?-LQG surface. We show this conformally covariant in sense it respects coordinate change formula for surfa...
