Microsatellite loci are important for genetic studies due to the many desirable qualities they possess. However, speculation continues about the types of mutation that act on microsatellites. In particular, whether different ...

Multiple correction was introduced by Gondzio (5) to accelerate the convergence of iterates generated by primal-dual interior-point algorithms for linear programming. In this work, we implement the multiple correction ...

Measures of the impact of cancer on survival are often incomplete, and are subject to biases which cloud the assessment of progress against the disease. A new measure, the proportion diagnosed with cancer and dead by a ...

We investigate the problem of inferring elastic moduli of nonlinearly elastic membranes from interior measurements of deformation and pressure. We begin by formulating a model of membrane deformation under a vertical force ...

We study the relationship between the programming language Scheme and the $\lambda\sb{v}$-CS-calculus. To this end, we define a correspondence between Scheme and $\Lambda\sb{CS}$-terms--the language of the calculus--where ...

The prairie and bordering woodlands of the Armand Bayou Nature Center, Harris County, Texas were sampled as an example of Texas Upper Coastal Prairie. The prairie is homogeneous and species-rich but shows very low dominance. ...

In localizing high-frequency tonal signals in the horizontal plane, the lateral superior olive (LSO) encodes the interaural level differences (ILD), the crucial cue for azimuthal angle extraction at some nuclei more central ...

Bioplume II, a widely used computer model developed by researchers at Rice University, models the transport of dissolved hydrocarbons in ground water under the influence of oxygen-limited biodegradation. The model is ...
