Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEstimation of Genetic Correlations on Sweet Corn Inbred Lines Using SAS Mixed ModelPedram Kashiani, Ghizan SalehProblem statement: Genetic correlations among traits refer to the extent of relatedness among them due to genetic causes. Estimating genetic correlations for quantitative traits is tedious if done manually. Approach: However, the use of the computer software SAS, applying mixed-model analysis of variance has facilitated many recent studies in evolutionary quantitative genetics. Results: In this two-way statistical model, the variance … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 10,891 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordMethods of Fast ExponentiationMohammed Al-MaitahProblem statement: Modular exponentiation constitutes the basis of many well-known and widely used public key cryptosystems. Approach: A fast portable modular exponentiation algorithm considerably enhanced the speed and applicability of these systems, also an efficient implementation of this algorithm was the key to high performance of such system. Results: In this study, two main approaches for solving this problem were … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,695 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSolving Protein Folding Problem using Elitism-Based Compact Genetic AlgorithmAmr Badr, Ibtehal M. Aref, Basma M. Hussien, Yosr EmanProteins are vital components of living cells. A number of diseases such as Alzheimer's, Cystic fibrosis and Mad Cow diseases are shown to result from misfunctioning of proteins. Problem statement: Protein folding problem is the process of predicting the optimal 3D molecular structure of a protein, or tertiary structure, which is an indication of its proper function. Approach: An enhancement … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 4, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2008 · 6,856 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSome Fast Methods for Fitting Some One-parameter Spatial ModelsR. J. MartinIt is common in geographic modelling to use a one-parameter spatial model to specify the inverse covariance matrix in terms of I-βW, for some known matrix W. Exact Gaussian maximum likelihood estimation of β requires evaluation of the determinant of the covariance matrix. For large data sets, this evaluation of the determinant can be slow and good approximations can be … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,066 accessesView PDFCite
