3 We propose a method to build gene regulatory networks (GRN) capable of 4 representing time-delayed regulations. The gene expression data is repre5 sented in a linear model using a dynamic Bayesian network (DBN) and a 6 skip-chain model using a hidden Markov model. The method therefore finds 7 both shortand long-term regulatory interactions. The algorithm was tested 8 on time-series data of th...

This paper is an extension of an earlier work on “building regulations‟ impact on natural ventilation in Dhaka‟s apartment buildings”. Four schemes of building regulations (each offering different „maximum allowable footprint‟ with a different „maximum building height‟) were examined. Due to unavailability of large computation resource, only bottom floors, least privileged in terms of wind acce...
