The document discusses different types of pollution including land, water, air, light, and thermal pollution. Land pollution is caused by improper waste disposal and agricultural practices. Water pollution contaminates water bodies and causes widespread illness, deaths, and ecosystem damage. Air pollution introduces harmful substances into the atmosphere. Light pollution causes unwanted artificial light at night that interferes with ecosystems and astronomy. Thermal pollution alters water temperatures from industrial processes like power plants.
Eurogene is an e-learning system in the domain of genetics that provides free multimedia learning resources in nine languages for statistical, medical and molecular genetics and delivers them to students and professionals. The Eurogene content includes presentations, reviewed research articles, images, videos and learning packages submitted by world-leading geneticists.
An essential part of the Eurogene system is a multilingual search engine that allows to search for content in one language while retrieving the results in other languages. This is complemented by the use of a machine translation system fine-tuned for genetic terminology. The search engine uses a query language similar to PubMed.
Eurogene also aims at providing intelligent ways of navigation through the e-Learning system. As new learning resources are being continuously submitted to the system, it is not possible to maintain links between them manually. Eurogene automatically links resources that are semantically similar using natural language processing.
Is a parametric or nonparametric method appropriate with relationship-oriente...Ken Plummer
This document discusses when to use parametric vs non-parametric methods for analyzing relationships between variables. Parametric methods are appropriate when data is scaled, meaning points are equally spaced along the scale, and the distribution is normal. An example is provided of researchers examining the relationship between death anxiety and religiosity, where subjects completed scaled questionnaires and the data had a normal distribution. Therefore, a parametric method would be suitable for analysis.
Genetic mapping involves constructing maps that show the positions of genes and other sequences on a genome. It uses genetic techniques like cross-breeding experiments or examining family histories. Markers like genes, RFLPs, SSLPs, and SNPs are used in mapping. Genetic mapping is based on genetic linkage and inheritance. By determining the recombination frequency between markers, which is proportional to their distance apart, a genetic map can be constructed showing the relative positions of genes on chromosomes.
Genetic mapping uses genetic techniques like cross-breeding experiments to construct maps showing gene positions. Physical mapping uses molecular techniques to examine DNA directly and construct maps showing sequence features. Different DNA markers like RFLPs, SSLPs, SNPs can be used for genetic mapping. Techniques for physical mapping include restriction mapping, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), and sequence tagged site (STS) mapping. Integrating genetic and physical maps provides high resolution mapping needed for genome sequencing.
This document discusses different approaches to multivariate data analysis and clustering, including nearest neighbor methods, hierarchical clustering, and k-means clustering. It provides examples of using Ward's method, average linkage, and k-means clustering on poverty data to identify potential clusters of countries based on variables like birth rate, death rate, and infant mortality rate. Key lessons are that different linkage methods, distance measures, and data normalizations should be tested and that higher-dimensional data may require different variable spaces or transformations to identify meaningful clusters.

This document summarizes parametric and nonparametric tests. Parametric tests make assumptions about the population based on known parameters, while nonparametric tests make no assumptions about the population. Some examples of parametric tests provided are t-test, F-test, z-test, and ANOVA, while examples of nonparametric tests include Mann-Whitney, rank sum test, and Kruskal-Wallis test. The key differences between parametric and nonparametric tests are that parametric tests are based on population parameters and distributions while nonparametric tests are not, and parametric tests can only be applied to variable data while nonparametric tests can be used for variable or attribute data.
