The patchy distribution of genes across the prokaryotes may be caused by multiple gene losses or lateral transfer. Probabilistic models of gene gain and loss are needed to distinguish between these possibilities. Existing ...

Bicknell’s Thrush (Catharus bicknelli) is listed as a threatened species under SARA, and identification of critical habitat is a key priority in the species’ recovery. LiDAR data was used to create a habitat suitability ...

The aim of this work is to model the observed velocity of our galaxy relative to the cosmic microwave background that was recently discovered by Smoot et al. A homogenous and isotropic,flat, relativistic two fluid cosmological ...

In this thesis we construct and analyze a cell signal transduction model for a biological cell which takes into account three dimensional geometry, diffusion, and spatial separation and localization of activating and ...

How can untrained and trained labour forces work together on the construction of a project? The pursuit of this question involves: Investigating construction methods which allow for a high tolerance of error. Grouping ...
