Genome biology and evolution
Despite the fundamental importance of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to human evolution, there are still large gaps in our understanding of the forces that shape their distribution across the genome. SNPs have been shown to not be distributed evenly, with directly adjacent SNPs found unusually frequently. Why this is the case is unclear. We...

To utilize synergetic effect of graphene's higher conductivity and magnetic nanoparticles biocompatibility, an electrochemical nanobiosensor is constructed based on magnetic nanoparticle decorated graphene (MRGO) using Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for H2O2 sensing. Sensors based on magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) are s...

Background: Intake of micronutrient-rich foods among children aged 6 to 23 months in Nairobi is low. Objective: This study aimed to assess existing coverage and utilization of micronutrient powders (MNPs), fortified staples, and iodized salt among children aged 6 to 23 months prior to implementation of an MNP program. Methods: A cross-sectional sur...

Anaemia affects 46% of preschool-aged children in Nepal. A cluster-randomised study was conducted in rural Nepal to test whether providing micronutrient powders (MNP) in addition to enhanced homestead food production (EHFP) programme, consisting of home gardens, poultry and nutrition education, could lead to a higher reduction in anaemia compared w...

In Spain, vital statistics are the result of a long embryonic process initiated in 1801 interwoven into the obligation of keeping a registration system of baptisms, later births, marriages and deaths, culminating in 1870 with the establishment of Civil Register. Since 1858, these data appeared compiled as Natural Population Movement (MNP), which si...

Discrete choice model acts as one of the most important tools for studies involving mode split in the context of transport demand forecast. As different types of discrete choice models display their merits and restrictions diversely, how to properly select the specific type among discrete choice models for realistic application still remains to be ...

The recently developed mobile network prefix provisioning (MNPP) enables a direct communication, i.e., Route Optimization (RO), between vehicular mobile routers (VMRs). However, without being secured, MNPP is vulnerable to various threats such as spoofing, replay, and wormhole attacks as well as location tracking. In this paper, possible threats to...

With the rapid development of network technologies and deteriorating of network environment, traditional single-net security system cannot satisfy the security requirement. The excellent security performance of biological systems impels the bio-inspired network security theory to be a hot research area currently. Based on Bio-inspired Multidimensio...

Support Vector Machine (SVM) has become a very effective method in statistical machine learning and it has proved that training SMV is to solve Nearest Point pair Problem (NPP) between two disjoint closed convex sets. Later Keerthi pointed out that it is difficult to apply classical excellent geometric algorithms direcly to SVM and so designed a ne...
