In this paper we study a large, but finite population, in which mutation and selection occur at a single genetic locus in a diploid organism. We provide theoretical results for the equilibrium allele frequencies, their variances and covariances and their equilibrium distribution, when the population size is larger than the reciprocal of the mean allelic mutation rate. We are also able to infer ...

Multilingual ontology population from texts, i.e. addition of new terms in an ontology, requires a suitable parallel or comparable corpus. In this paper, we aim to check whether the corpus selected for our project suits the ontology we want to populate. The corpus for ontology population should not only reflect a specific domain and have a sufficient volume of data, as discussed in (Delpech et ...

The genetic effective population size (N(e)) of a species is an important parameter for understanding evolutionary dynamics because it mediates the relative effects of selection. However, because most N(e) estimates for unicellular organisms are derived either from taxa with poorly understood species boundaries or from host-restricted pathogens and most unicellular species have prominent phases...

An uninformed welfare maximizing decision maker communicates with a random sample of agents from a large population who have heterogeneous preferences. Every agent’s preference is private information to himself. The population distribution of preferences is unknown and messages from the sampled agents are cheap talk. This paper o¤ers a tractable model of communication where the decision maker e...

We consider a version of large population games whose players compete for resources using strategies with adaptable preferences. The system efficiency is measured by the variance of the decisions. In the regime where the system can be plagued by the maladaptive behavior of the players, we find that diversity among the players improves the system efficiency, though it slows the convergence to th...

the present paper studies the objectives and functions of constructing the new towns before and after the revolution in iran. before the revolution, new towns were established based on political – bureaucratic objectives, for the operation of huge oil resources and affiliated industries, to accommodate the workforce in industrial complexes, to implement the policy of regional decentralization...
