A quantitative analysis of estimation of distribution algorithms based on Bayesian networks
(2009)
The successful application of estimation of distribution algorithms
(EDAs) to solve different kinds of problems has reinforced their candidature
as promising black-box optimization tools. However, their internal behavior
is ...
On the application of estimation of distribution algorithms to multi-marker tagging SNP selection
(2009)
This paper presents an algorithm for the automatic selection of a
minimal subset of tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using an estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA). The EDA stochastically searches the ...
KAF: Kyoto Annotation Framework
(2009)
This document presents the current draft of KAF: Kyoto Annotation
Framework to be used within the KYOTO project. KAF aims to provide a reference
format for the representation of semantic annotations.
Royalty Licensing
(2009-09)
A patent provides its holder the monopolist´s right to sell licenses that allow the use of new technology. Empirically, most of the patent licensing agreements that are observed include royalties, in particular per unit ...
Wheel-rail wear index prediction considering multiple contact patches
(Elsevier, 2009-06)
This paper shows a new wheel-rail contact model specially suited to obtain wear indexes between wheel and rail when the vehicle negotiates tight curves. The model presented in the paper enables introduction of the two ...
Choice experiment study on the willingness to pay to improve
(2009-06)
Modern forms of energy are an important vehicle towards poverty alleviation in rural areas of developing countries. Most developing countries’ households heavily rely on wood fuel which impact their health and social–economic ...
Survey of the fatty acid composition of Canadian beef: Backfat and longissimus lumborum muscle
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2009-09)
[EN]A survey of Canadian retail beef was undertaken with emphasis on the trans fatty acid (TFA) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers, and compared with current health recommendations. Thirty striploin steaks were ...
Phenotypic correlations of fatty acid composition among intramuscular, subcutaneous and intermuscular fat tissues in concentrate-fed beef cattle of differing genotypes
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2009-03)
[EN]In an attempt to predict intramuscular fatty acid composition using easily accessible fat depots, between-tissue correlations were studied in 75 Asturiana de los Valles bulls with different levels of muscular hypertrophy, ...
Predicting Betas: Two new methods
(2009)
Betas play a central role in modern finance. The estimation of betas from historical data and their extrapolation into the future is of considerable practical interest. We propose two new methods: the first is a direct ...
A Model of Ischemia-Induced Neuroblast Activation in the Adult Subventricular Zone
(Public Library of Science, 2009-04-23)
We have developed a rat brain organotypic culture model, in which tissue slices contain cortex-subventricular zone-striatum regions, to model neuroblast activity in response to in vitro ischemia. Neuroblast activation has ...
