Linkage mapping of the alpha-B-crystallin (CRYAB) gene to porcine chromosome 9.
No full textAn expressed sequence tag (EST) that showed homology with human (M28638) a-B-crystallin (CRYAB) gene sequence was isolated from a porcine skeletal muscle cDNA library (Z98816). Two alleles were identified in the 115-bp fragment of the porcine CRYAB 3'-untranslated region. A multipoint sex-averaged map of porcine chromosome 9, placed CRYAB between
markers PPP2ARB and APOA
The porcine sarcolipin (SLN) gene: identification of an SNP and linkage mapping to chromosome 9.
No full textSarcolipin (SLN) is a 31-amino acid proteolipid that regulates the activity of SERCA1 (ATP2A1), a fasttwitch skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase. Two alleles were identified by SSCP analysis in the 218 bp fragment of the porcine SLN gene. Mendelian segregation was confirmed in three-generation families of the PiGMaP Consortium. The DNA samples belonging to six threegeneration families of the PiGMaP Consortium were genotyped at the SLN locus obtaining 98 informative meiosis. Multipoint sex-averaged map of porcine chromosome 9, placed SLN between markers PPP2ARB and CRYAB (PPP2ARB± 24.7 cM ± SLN ± 3.1 cM ± CRYAB ±). This assignment confirms the physical mapping of the porcine SLN gene to chromosome9p24-(1/3p21) previously obtaine
A PvuII RFLP at the porcine orosomucoid (ORM) locus
No full textA new polymorphism was identified in the porcine orosomucoid (ORM) gene by RFLP analysis. Segragation of the alleles was confirmed in three-generation reference pig families. Linkage analysis confirmed the assignment of this gene to porcine chromosome 1
Scheduling data flow programs in hard real-time environments
No full textData Flow is a natural paradigm representing distributed programs able to express data and control dependencies between composing nodes. Our work concentrates on periodic Data-Flow programs having Hard Real-Time constraints. We propose a model and a stringbased representation for a relevant class of Data-Flow programs and present a two-phase algorithm able to compute a schedule for a given set of programs to be executed. The first phase computes a feasible solution (mapping and time assignments) using a Simulated Annealing technique, the second phase takes the mapping as input and computes the optimal solution, in terms of resource allocation, using a recursive descent Quasi- Newton method
Association study between SNPs in ACACA, ACLY, FASN, and SCD genes and fatty acid composition of backfat and muscle in Italian Large White pigs
No full textA probe containing ancient repetitive elements detects a new marker (S0521) on porcine chromosome 6
No full textA DNA probe was used in RFLP analysis. A segregating polymorphism was used to assign this marker (S0521) to porcine chormosome 6 by linkage mapping in three-generation reference pig families
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
