Clustering A Series Of Replicated Polyploid Gene Expression Experiments In Maize, Lingling An, Nicole C. Riddle, James A. Birchler, R. W. Doerge
Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture
Ploidy level is defined as the number of individual sets of chromosomes contained in a single cell. Many important crop plants, such as potato, soybean and wheat are polyploid. Although it is widely known that polyploidy is a frequent evolutionary event, it is not fully understand why polyploids have been so successful. In this work cluster analysis is employed to study gene expression changes in a maize inbred line (B73) across a range of polyploidy levels. The B73 ploidy series includes monoploid, diploid, triploid and tetraploid plants and consists of biological and technical replicates as measured by microarray technology. An …
Clustering Of Database Query Results, Kristine Jean Daniels
Clustering Of Database Query Results, Kristine Jean Daniels
Theses and Dissertations
Increasingly more users are accessing database systems for interactive and exploratory data retrieval. While performing searches on these systems, users are required to use broad queries to get their desired results. Broad queries often result in too many items forcing the user to spend unnecessary time sifting through these items to find the relevant results. This problem, of finding a desired data item within many items, is referred to as "information overload". Most users experience information overload when viewing these database query results. This thesis shows that users information overload can be reduced by clustering database query results. …

Measurements of the impact and history of research literature provide a useful complement to scientific digital library collections. Bibliometric indicators have been extensively studied, mostly in the context of journals. However, journal-based metrics poorly capture topical distinctions in fast-moving fields, and are increasingly problematic in the context of open-access publishing. Recent developments in latent topic models have produced promising results for automatic sub-field discovery. The fine-grained, faceted topics produced by such models provide a more clear view of the topical divisions of a body of research literature and the interactions between those divisions. We demonstrate the usefulness of topic models …

The development and implementation of the optimized energy-delay sub-network routing (OEDSR) protocol for wireless sensor networks (WSN) is presented. This ondemand routing protocol minimizes a novel link cost factor which is defined using available energy, end-to-end (E2E) delay and distance from a node to the base station (BS), along with clustering, to effectively route information to the BS. Initially, the nodes are either in idle or sleep mode, but once an event is detected, the nodes near the event become active and start forming sub-networks. Formation of the inactive network into a sub-network saves energy because only a portion of …
