Genetic variation and health in a rural Caribbean village
Bwa Mawego is a small-scale horticultural community (~500 people) on the island of Dominica that has been the site of a longitudinal health research project for more than 30 years. Cardiovascular diseases and metabolic health are growing local concerns. Here we analyze longitudinal growth data, …

Assessing the Impacts of Balsam Woolly Adelgid (Adelges Piceae Ratz.) and Anthropogenic Disturbance on the Stand Structure and Mortality of Fraser Fir (Abies Fraseri (Pursh) Poir.) in the Black Mountains, North Carolina
… of the exotic insect, balsam woolly adelgid (BWA) (Adelges piceae). The decline in Fraser fir is particularly concern because it serves as a foundation species within the spruce-fir forests of the Southern Appalachian Mountains. Our objectives for this research were to 1) use current stand …

A study of meta-learning methods on the problem of video matting
… Meta Learning approaches—Boosting with Adapters (BwA) and Boosting using Ensemble (BuE)—to tackle the task of video matting using pre-trained image matting models. BwA refines (image matting) alpha mattes by fine tuning pre-trained segmentation models, which we refer to as adapters, using video …

Link Adaptation Algorithm and Metric for IEEE Standard 802.16
Broadband wireless access (BWA) is a promising emerging technology. In the past, most BWA systems were based on proprietary implementations. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.16 task group recently standardized the physical (PHY) and medium-access control (MAC) layers …

Connection admission control and packet scheduling for IEEE 802.16 networks
… Networks (WMAN) for Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) which is known as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), provides a solution of broadband connectivity to areas where wired infrastructure is economically and technically infeasible. Apart from the advantage of having high …

Social Marketing Campaigns: A Public Health Tool in the Prevention of HIV/AIDS and Other Chronic Diseases
… experience with Better World Advertising (BWA). This fieldwork and the following summary clearly defines a social marketing campaign, and also demonstrates its usefulness in engaging the target audience (particularly vulnerable populations) in beginning the steps towards behavior change …

Bioinformatics Analysis of Whole-Exome Sequencing Data for the Identification of Nuclear and Chloroplast Diversity in Barley
… variant calling pipelines, Bowtie2/FreeBayes and BWA/GATK, a small subset of samples was used and variants identified and validated against an independent set of iSelect SNP-chip data which showed higher accuracy for BWA/GATK. I subsequently used the latter for the rest of this …

Genetic basis of human disorders of gonadal development
… Human Reference Genome (NCBI Build 36) using the BWA software. Each alignment was assigned a mapping quality score by BWA, which is the Phredscaled probability that a read is misaligned. The basic functional annotation of SNPs/Indels is performed by ANNOVAR. The clinical features of these patients …

Empirical accuracy bounds for next-generation sequencing variant calling workflows
… these datasets to showcase how the behavior of BWA and GATK workflows changes as a function of read lengths, error rates, quality scores, error types, and mutation types. We utilize these results to quantify the performance gains that can be expected by altering these properties of an NGS …

Characterization of the transcriptome and the peptidase and the non-peptidase homologs of callosobruchus maculatus
… which were mapped back to the assembly using BWA software. While C. maculatus does not appear to have an increased number of cysteine peptidases compared with other insects it does appear have more highly expressed cysteine peptidases compared to serine peptidases. Examination of the peptidase …

Evaluation of the West African Diet of Plant Origin
… complete diet was termed the Basic West African (BWA) diet, and it served as the basis for supplementation in this experiment. Because a 28 per cent level of peanuts in the diet seemed to prove more effective on growth rate than other levels, the same level of supplementation was used for the …

Datenzentrierte Bestimmung von Assoziationsregeln in parallelen Datenbankarchitekturen
Die folgende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Alltagstauglichkeit moderner Massendatenverarbeitung, insbesondere mit dem Problem der Assoziationsregelanalyse. Vorhandene Datenmengen wachsen stark an, aber deren Auswertung ist für ungeübte Anwender schwierig. Daher verzichten Unternehmen auf …
