New Zealand black (NZB) mice with autoimmune and B lymphoproliferative disease (B-LPD) are a model for human chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). A genomewide linkage scan of the NZB loci associated with lymphoma was conducted in F1 backcrosses of NZB and a control strain, DBA/2. Of 202 mice phenotyped for the presence or absence of LPD, surface maker expression, DNA content, and microsatellite ...

A definition of bivariate matrix functions is introduced and some theoretical as well as algorithmic aspects are analyzed. It is shown that our framework naturally extends the usual notion of (univariate) matrix functions and allows to unify existing results on linear matrix equations and derivatives of matrix functions. Mathematics subject classification (2010): 15A16, 15A24, 15A69.

abstract        background and objective: various cellular factors affect the process of hiv activity. one of these cellular factors are structures known as microrn that are expected to be involved in controlling hiv replication and infectivity. the expression of one or a set of them may represent the patient's clinical conditions. in this study,  the expression of mir-29a and mir-29b invo...

We introduce aligned hierarchies, a low-dimensional representation for music-based data streams, such as recordings of songs or digitized representations of scores. The aligned hierarchies encode all hierarchical decompositions of repeated elements from a high-dimensional and noisy music-based data stream into one object. These aligned hierarchies can be embedded into a classification space wit...

Systems for the archival of musical documents digitally and development of digital music libraries are currently being researched and developed extensively. However, adapting these systems for the archival and retrieval of Malaysian music materials might not be as straightforward due to the distinct differences in musical structure and modes of non-Western music. This paper covers the motivatio...
