UNLABELLED Transposon insertion sequencing (TIS; also known as TnSeq) is a potent approach commonly used to comprehensively define the genetic loci that contribute to bacterial fitness in diverse environments. A key presumption underlying analyses of TIS datasets is that loci with a low frequency of transposon insertions contribute to fitness. However, it is not known whether factors such as nu...

The accuracy of target position detection in IR seeker depends on the accuracy of tracking error signal (TES) extraction from seeker Field of View (FOV). The type of reticle inside the seeker determines the output modulation signal that carries the TES. In this paper, the stationary wagon wheel reticle is used, which makes the type of the output signal as FM modulation in the linear region of F...

An important task in the area of gene discovery is the correct prediction of the translation initiation site (TIS). The TIS can correspond to the first AUG, but this is not always the case. This task can be modeled as a classification problem between positive (TIS) and negative patterns. Here we have used Support Vector Machine working with data processed by the class balancing method called Sm...

BACKGROUND Gestation is a critical window for neurodevelopmental vulnerability. This study examined whether the presence of trophoblast inclusions (TIs) in the placenta could serve as a predictor for children at elevated risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). METHODS Placentas were obtained from 117 births in the MARBLES (Markers of Autism Risk in Babies-Learning Early Signs) cohort of fami...

Exact methods for constructing two-sided tolerance intervals (TIs) and tolerance intervals that control percentages in both tails for a location-scale family of distributions are proposed. The proposed methods are illustrated by constructing TIs for a normal, logistic, and Laplace (double exponential) distributions based on type II singly censored samples. Factors for constructing one-sided and...

May 1999 TIS has been actively engaged in process improvement using the Capability Maturity Model for software (software CMM) since the early 1990s and was assessed at Level 3 in 1995. An assessment was performed in 1998 using the CMM-Based Appraisal for Internal Process Improvement (CBAIPI) method [1]. It resulted in a Level 5 rating for TIS, the highest that can be achieved for the software C...

Let P be a convex polytope in the d-dimensional Euclidean space. We consider an interpolation of a function f at the vertices of P and compare it with the interpolation of f and its derivative at a fixed point y ∈ P. The two methods may be seen as multivariate analogues of an interpolation by secants and tangents, respectively. For twice continuously differentiable functions, we establish sharp...
