In 1872, German mathematician Karl Weierstrass devised a function, that is continuous everywhere but differentiable nowhere.
We therefore devised a function that incorporates this information and computes a score for a pair of genes.
We thus devised a function f([ MITF],[ MITF p 73],[ MITF p 409],[ MITF p p]) to map the amounts of the different phosphorylation states of MITF to a downstream transcriptional activity.
In this paper we have utilized the Blaschke-Potapov factorization for contractive matrix-valued functions to devise a procedure for obtaining an approximation for the transfer function of physically realizable passive linear systems consisting of a network of passive components and time delays.
We devise a cost function for each algorithm and formulate optimisation problems, accordingly.
In this paper, GA's population-based approach and ability to make pair-wise comparison in tournament selection operator are exploited to devise a penalty function approach that does not require any penalty parameter.
To determine the quality of the estimated ranking order, we devise a cost function whose argument is the lower diagonal entries of the matrix <img src="http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/asset?id=info?doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0017817.e136.PNG" class= inline-graphic"/>.
Inspired by the procedure with which gene knock-out is usually performed (the control experiment is done by re-introducing the knocked-out gene to ensure that the lost function gets complemented), we devised a functional complementation strategy aimed at assessing that RNAi indeed targets the intended gene.
The NCPF provides a common ground from which to define performance, decide what is meaningful and important with regard to each nursing subsystem or function, devise a common and balanced set of performance indicators for a given sector of nursing care, and derive benchmarks for this sector.
Here we devise a "backward seen" strategy to realize the function of BIND.
For this purpose, we devised a modified cost function, which includes a term for prior information (See below. Also see [ Molinelli, Korkut, Wang et al., 2013] and [ Miller et al., 2013]).
