Linear time-invariant Systems01:23

Linear time-invariant Systems

1.0K
A system is linear if it displays the characteristics of homogeneity and additivity, together termed the superposition property. This principle is fundamental in all linear systems. Linear time-invariant (LTI) systems include systems with linear elements and constant parameters.
The input-output behavior of an LTI system can be fully defined by its response to an impulsive excitation at its input. Once this impulse response is known, the system's reaction to any other input can be...

Evolutionary Relationships through Genome Comparisons

7.2K
Genome comparison is one of the excellent ways to interpret the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The basic principle of genome comparison is that if two species share a common feature, it is likely encoded by the DNA sequence conserved between both species. The advent of genome sequencing technologies in the late 20th century enabled scientists to understand the concept of conservation of domains between species and helped them to deduce evolutionary relationships across diverse...

Parameters Affecting Nonlinear Elimination: Zero-Order Input, First-Order Absorption and Two-Compartment Model

Drugs administered through various routes can lead to nonlinear elimination, resulting in complex pharmacokinetic behaviors crucial to understanding efficacious drug dosing.
When a drug is administered through a constant intravenous infusion and eliminated via nonlinear pharmacokinetics, it follows zero-order input. For example, oral drugs undergo first-order absorption upon administration and are eliminated through nonlinear pharmacokinetics.
In the case of subcutaneously administered drugs,...

Law of Independent Assortment

64.1K
While Mendel’s Law of Segregation states that the two alleles for one gene are separated into different gametes, a different question of how different genes are inherited remains. For example, is the gene for tall plants inherited with the gene for green peas? Mendel asked this question by experimenting with a dihybrid cross; a cross in which both parents are homozygous for two distinct traits resulting in an F1 generation that are heterozygous for both traits.

Per-Unit Sequence Models01:26

Per-Unit Sequence Models

An ideal Y-Y transformer, grounded through neutral impedances, displays per-unit sequence networks akin to those of a single-phase ideal transformer when subjected to balanced positive- or negative-sequence currents. These currents do not produce neutral currents, and their associated voltage drops.
Zero-sequence currents, which are identical in magnitude and phase, generate a neutral current, resulting in voltage drops across the neutral impedance and the low-voltage winding. If the...

Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Evolutionary Biology
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Phylogenetic tree reconstruction from molecular data typically uses Markov models of site substitution.
  • Mixed Markov processes can lead to indistinguishable tree topologies, even with extensive data.
  • Linear phylogenetic invariants can restore tree identifiability when present in the Markov process.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the 'equal input model,' a class of processes supporting linear invariants.
  • To generalize existing models like Felsenstein 1981 and Jukes-Cantor to arbitrary numbers of states.
  • To analyze the structure and dimension of phylogenetic mixtures and linear invariants.

Main Methods:

  • Investigated the 'equal input model' and its properties.
  • Applied techniques from discrete random processes and multilinear algebra.
  • Described vector spaces of phylogenetic mixtures and linear invariants for n-leaf trees.

Main Results:

  • The equal input model generalizes existing models and supports linear invariants.
  • Identified the structure and dimension of linear invariants for arbitrary n-leaf trees.
  • Provided a precise description for the special case of 3 leaves.

Conclusions:

  • The equal input model, by supporting linear invariants, aids in resolving phylogenetic tree identifiability issues.
  • This work provides a mathematical framework for understanding phylogenetic mixtures and invariants.
  • The findings build upon and extend classic results in phylogenetic inference.
