一种互联网拓扑结构局部特征度量修正算法

对互联网拓扑结构局部特性展开研究,针对已有IP定位数据库的异构性和准确率不高造成的特征度量分析存在偏差的问题,提出了一种基于机器学习的修正算法(IPMG).以复杂网络为基础,结合网络测量数据和已有IP定位数据库中的IP地理位置信息,定义了互联网局部拓扑结构的地理度和地理介数这两种新的特征度量;分析了地理度和地理介数分布的幂律特性以及二者与IP地理位置之间的关系;运用机器学习的方法修正了不同IP定位数据库之间存在的分析有偏差的问题,并通过交叉验证和地标验证结合的方法验证了IPMG算法的有效性.实验结果表明:IPMG算法有效修正地理度和地理介数的同时提高了IP定位数据库的准确率.     

Mox2 is a component of the genetic hierarchy controlling limb muscle development.

The skeletal muscles of the limbs develop from myogenic progenitors that originate in the paraxial mesoderm and migrate into the limb-bud mesenchyme. Among the genes known to be important for muscle development in mammalian embryos are those encoding the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) myogenic regulatory factors (MRFs; MyoD, Myf5, myogenin and MRF4) and Pax3, a paired-type homeobox gene that is critical for the development of limb musculature. Mox1 and Mox2 are closely related homeobox genes that are expressed in overlapping patterns in the paraxial mesoderm and its derivatives. Here we show that mice homozygous for a null mutation of Mox2 have a developmental defect of the limb musculature, characterized by an overall reduction in muscle mass and elimination of specific muscles. Mox2 is not needed for the migration of myogenic precursors into the limb bud, but it is essential for normal appendicular muscle formation and for the normal regulation of myogenic genes, as demonstrated by the downregulation of Pax3 and Myf5 but not MyoD in Mox2-deficient limb buds. Our findings show that the MOX2 homeoprotein is an important regulator of vertebrate limb myogenesis.     

A polycystic kidney-disease gene homologue required for male mating behaviour in C. elegans.

The stereotyped mating behaviour of the Caenorhabditis elegans male is made up of several substeps: response, backing, turning, vulva location, spicule insertion and sperm transfer. The complexity of this behaviour is reflected in the sexually dimorphic anatomy and nervous system. Behavioural functions have been assigned to most of the male-specific sensory neurons by means of cell ablations; for example, the hook sensory neurons HOA and HOB are specifically required for vulva location. We have investigated how sensory perception of the hermaphrodite by the C. elegans male controls mating behaviours. Here we identify a gene, lov-1 (for location of vulva), that is required for two male sensory behaviours: response and vulva location. lov-1 encodes a putative membrane protein with a mucin-like, serine-threonine-rich amino terminus followed by two blocks of homology to human polycystins, products of the autosomal dominant polycystic kidney-disease loci PKD1 and PKD2. LOV-1 is the closest C. elegans homologue of PKD1. lov-1 is expressed in adult males in sensory neurons of the rays, hook and head, which mediate response, vulva location, and potentially chemotaxis to hermaphrodites, respectively. PKD-2, the C. elegans homologue of PKD2, is localized to the same neurons as LOV-1, suggesting that they function in the same pathway.
