Phylogenetic reconstruction of orthology, paralogy, and conserved synteny for dog and human. by Leo Goodstadt, Chris P Ponting

“…Using PhyOP to investigate orthologues and paralogues in the human and dog genomes, we found that the human assembly contains 3-fold more gene duplications than the dog. Species-specific duplicate genes, or "in-paralogues," are generally shorter and have fewer exons than 1:1 orthologues, which is consistent with selective constraints and mutation biases based on the sizes of duplicated genes. …”

A Novel Blind Deconvolution Method with Adaptive Period Estimation Technique and Its Application to Fault Feature Enhancement of Bearing by Qiuyang Zhou, Cai Yi, Chenguang Huang, Jianhui Lin

“…Therefore, in this paper, a MCG-Lp/Lq-D with adaptive fault period estimation capability is proposed, adaptive minimum correlated generalized Lp/Lq deconvolution (AMCG-Lp/Lq-D). The proposed method uses the autocorrelation function of envelope signal to estimate the fault period adaptively in each iteration and then takes the estimated period as the input parameter of MCG-Lp/Lq-D for the next iteration optimization. …”
