Discovery of possible gene relationships through the application of self-organizing maps to DNA microarray databases. by Rocio Chavez-Alvarez, Arturo Chavoya, Andres Mendez-Vazquez

“…On the other hand, pattern recognition techniques can contribute to the analysis of such massive measurements, providing a model of gene expression level evolution through the cell cycle process. In this paper, we propose the use of one of such techniques--an unsupervised artificial neural network called a Self-Organizing Map (SOM)-which has been successfully applied to processes involving very noisy signals, classifying and organizing them, and assisting in the discovery of behavior patterns without requiring prior knowledge about the process under analysis. …”

A PLANAR n⁺ –n–n⁺ GaAs DIODE WITH GaInAs-BASED GRADED-GAP ACTIVE SIDE BOUNDARYN by V. O. Zozulia, O. V. Botsula, K. H. Prykhodko

“…The work seeks to assess the oscillation efficiency and the maximum output power of the diode oscillator loaded with a single-circuit resonator, determine the oscillation frequency cut-off, and estimate how the energy and frequency characteristics of the diode are influenced by the impact ionization and GaInAs spatial distribution in the graded-gap layer. Methods and Methodology. The carrier transport processes in the diode are simulated using a two-dimensional model, the particle ensemble Monte Carlo method, and the full geometric multigrid method to determine the electric fi eld distribution in the diode. …”

Seedling passage times in gaps and closed canopies reveal decades of understory persistence in a New England forest by Isabella Stone, Jeffrey Mintz, Claudia J. Garnica‐Díaz, Chia‐Hao Chang‐Yang, David A. Orwig, Audrey A. Barker Plotkin, April Zee, Raelene M. Crandall, Daniel J. Johnson, Lukas J. Magee

“…We evaluated our estimates in the lab by aging cross‐sections obtained from seedlings in gap and closed canopy conditions. Compared to our empirical age‐to‐height relationships, most simulations tended to underpredict seedling age for a given height, suggesting that passage times may be even longer than our simulations indicated. …”
