Determining Mating Type And Species Of A Natural Isolate Of Dictyostelium Using Molecular Techniques And Sexual Crosses, S.N. Baviskar, C. Catron, H. Jenkins, M. Smith

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Cellular slime molds, Dictyostelium, are bactivorous, soil-dwelling amoebae. When food is available, cells reproduce asexually by binary fission. Under certain environmental conditions, such as darkness and humidity, Dictyostelium reproduces sexually. The sexual cycle is uniquely social and has unusual features. First, sexual reproduction in most eukaryotes usually involves fusion of two gametes. But, in Dictyostelium, triparental inheritance is observed (Bloomfield et al. 2019), in which gamete fusion involves more than two gametes. Second, most eukaryotic species have two sexes or mating types, but Dictyostelium species are known to have more than two mating types. Even though Dictyostelium species show variations …

Data-Driven Reachability Analysis For Gaussian Process State Space Models, Paul Griffioen, Murat Arcak

Faculty Work Comprehensive List

Gaussian process state space models are becoming common tools for the analysis and design of nonlinear systems with uncertain dynamics. When designing control policies for these systems, safety is an important property to consider. In this paper, we provide safety guarantees by computing finite-horizon forward reachable sets for Gaussian process state space models. We use data-driven reachability analysis to provide exact probability measures for state trajectories of arbitrary length, even when no data samples are available. We investigate two numerical examples to demonstrate the power of this approach, such as providing highly non-convex reachable sets and detecting holes in the …
