k i is the sum of weights of gene i's neighboring connections and is defined as: (2) In an unweighted network, k i corresponds directly to the degree, namely the number of neighbors of a given gene [ 38].
For vectorial data, one can calculate edge weights as the similarity scores between genes using appropriate similarity metrics, for example the Pearson correlation coefficient, and then form the networks by means of neighboring node connections.
where a i j, b i j ( i ≠ j, i, j = 1, 2, 3 ) have the values 1 or 0, depending whether the cells from j to i are connected or not; a, b, a 2, b 2 ∈ R denote the strength in self-connection and neighboring-connection, respectively; τ s, τ n ≥ 0 are the corresponding time delays.
The parallel connection of neighboring chains is likely to link the mechanism of cellulose by xyloglucan where a smooth XG region adheres by hydrogen bonds to cellulose.
Their totem design is connected with a major regional ceremony, providing a connection with neighboring clans also having spider totems in their rituals.
Coventry's principal, Matthew Baughman, reports that the new French program has changed the learning culture at the school and also connected it to the Francophone community of northern Vermont and neighboring Quebec -- a connection that had been fraying with fewer residents learning French in the home.
The CH then appoints another CM as a GW node to maintain the connection with neighboring clusters.
In control cortex, the chance of finding a connection between neighboring L2/3 pyramidal neurons (Pyr → Pyr) was low (21/553 is 3.8%, 21/553 tested Pyr → Pyr pairs).
A few other cell types (typically pollen tubes and root hairs) undergo a different growth mode, called tip-growth, in which growth occurs with no physical connection to neighboring cells, and through the elongation of the cell tip.
For each of the four genes we determine its connection with neighboring genes with maximum mutual information that is also statistically significant, resulting in j c = (3, 1, 1, 1).
