Bock H.H. 《Journal of Classification》1985,2(1):77-108
We investigate the properties of several significance tests for distinguishing between the hypothesisH of a homogeneous population and an alternativeA involving clustering or heterogeneity, with emphasis on the case of multidimensional observationsx

Four types of test statistics are considered: the (s-th) largest gap between observations, their mean distance (or similarity), the minimum within-cluster sum of squares resulting from a k-means algorithm, and the resulting maximum F statistic. The asymptotic distributions underH are given forn and the asymptotic power of the tests is derived for neighboring alternatives. 相似文献

A genomic perspective on membrane compartment organization 总被引:40,自引:0,他引:40
Now that whole genome sequences are available for many eukaryotic organisms from yeast to man, we can form broad hypotheses on the basis of the relative expansion of protein families. To investigate the molecular mechanisms responsible for the organization of membrane compartments, we identified members of the SNARE, coat complex, Rab and Sec1 protein families in four eukaryotic genomes. Of these families only the Rab family expanded from the unicellular yeast to the multicellular fly and worm. All families were expanded in humans, where we find 35 SNAREs, 60 Rabs and 53 coat complex subunits. In addition, we were able to resolve the SNARE class of proteins into four distinct subfamilies. 相似文献

The Central Andes are the Earth's highest mountain belt formed by ocean-continent collision. Most of this uplift is thought to have occurred in the past 20 Myr, owing mainly to thickening of the continental crust, dominated by tectonic shortening. Here we use P-to-S (compressional-to-shear) converted teleseismic waves observed on several temporary networks in the Central Andes to image the deep structure associated with these tectonic processes. We find that the Moho (the Mohorovici? discontinuity--generally thought to separate crust from mantle) ranges from a depth of 75 km under the Altiplano plateau to 50 km beneath the 4-km-high Puna plateau. This relatively thin crust below such a high-elevation region indicates that thinning of the lithospheric mantle may have contributed to the uplift of the Puna plateau. We have also imaged the subducted crust of the Nazca oceanic plate down to 120 km depth, where it becomes invisible to converted teleseismic waves, probably owing to completion of the gabbro-eclogite transformation; this is direct evidence for the presence of kinetically delayed metamorphic reactions in subducting plates. Most of the intermediate-depth seismicity in the subducting plate stops at 120 km depth as well, suggesting a relation with this transformation. We see an intracrustal low-velocity zone, 10-20 km thick, below the entire Altiplano and Puna plateaux, which we interpret as a zone of continuing metamorphism and partial melting that decouples upper-crustal imbrication from lower-crustal thickening. 相似文献

Calmodulin is a regulator of several calcium-dependent cellular processes. It has been suggested that it plays a role in the mechanism of secretion. Employing an indirect immunoperoxidase technique at the light microscope level, this study demonstrates the presence of calmodulin in several exocytotic cells (mast cells, thyroid follicular cells, neurohypophyseal neurosecretory terminals, pancreatic beta-cells and pancreatic acinus cells) in rat and man. The positive staining reaction for calmodulin was granular and at least in the case of rat mast cells it appeared to be associated with the granule membrane. 相似文献

Every tenth person in Central Europe is a pollinosis patient. The time of ripening and release of pollen, as well as pollen flight, all depend on the weather. Because each year is different from every other, mean values from pollen calendars do not provide any practical help for allergy-sufferers. For this reason, in many European countries, measuring networks have been established during the last 10 years as a basis for forecasting the prevalence of airborne pollen for the following 2–3 days, in connection with the weather forecast. Cooperation and communication also exist on a European level, and a European Pollen Database has been established. 相似文献

The old, red stars that constitute the bulges of galaxies, and the massive black holes at their centres, are the relics of a period in cosmic history when galaxies formed stars at remarkable rates and active galactic nuclei (AGN) shone brightly as a result of accretion onto black holes. It is widely suspected, but unproved, that the tight correlation between the mass of the black hole and the mass of the stellar bulge results from the AGN quenching the surrounding star formation as it approaches its peak luminosity. X-rays trace emission from AGN unambiguously, whereas powerful star-forming galaxies are usually dust-obscured and are brightest at infrared and submillimetre wavelengths. Here we report submillimetre and X-ray observations that show that rapid star formation was common in the host galaxies of AGN when the Universe was 2-6 billion years old, but that the most vigorous star formation is not observed around black holes above an X-ray luminosity of 10(44) ergs per second. This suppression of star formation in the host galaxy of a powerful AGN is a key prediction of models in which the AGN drives an outflow, expelling the interstellar medium of its host and transforming the galaxy's properties in a brief period of cosmic time. 相似文献

The cores of most galaxies are thought to harbour supermassive black holes, which power galactic nuclei by converting the gravitational energy of accreting matter into radiation. Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the compact source of radio, infrared and X-ray emission at the centre of the Milky Way, is the closest example of this phenomenon, with an estimated black hole mass that is 4,000,000 times that of the Sun. A long-standing astronomical goal is to resolve structures in the innermost accretion flow surrounding Sgr A*, where strong gravitational fields will distort the appearance of radiation emitted near the black hole. Radio observations at wavelengths of 3.5 mm and 7 mm have detected intrinsic structure in Sgr A*, but the spatial resolution of observations at these wavelengths is limited by interstellar scattering. Here we report observations at a wavelength of 1.3 mm that set a size of 37(+16)(-10) microarcseconds on the intrinsic diameter of Sgr A*. This is less than the expected apparent size of the event horizon of the presumed black hole, suggesting that the bulk of Sgr A* emission may not be centred on the black hole, but arises in the surrounding accretion flow. 相似文献

The joining together of neurites to form fascicles and the growth of axons along glial surfaces during early development suggest that neurone-neurone and neurone-glial adhesion interactions are of considerable importance for defining nerve tracts. In vitro studies have indicated that adhesion between neurones involves a glycoprotein that has been independently studied under the names of N-CAM (for neural cell adhesion molecule), D2-CAM and BSP-2 (refs 10, 11). As N-CAM/D2-CAM appears to be a homophilic ligand that binds to N-CAM/D2-CAM polypeptide on adjacent cells, this glycoprotein is potentially important in adhesion interactions between any two N-CAM/D2-CAM-expressing cells. While it has been suggested that neurone-glial adhesion involves molecules other than N-CAM/D2-CAM, it is known that N-CAM/D2-CAM antigenic determinants are expressed by glial cells in vivo and that injection of anti-N-CAM antibodies into the eye-cup of chick embryos disrupts normal patterns of neuritic apposition to glial endfeet in the developing optic stalk. Do the molecules expressed by glia share restricted antigenic determinants, or binding domains, with N-CAM/D2-CAM, or are N-CAM/D2-CAM polypeptides expressed by glia? Here we present immunocytochemical evidence which suggests that all classes of macroglia express N-CAM/D2-CAM antigenic determinants on their surfaces and immunochemical analyses which indicate that the molecules expressed by purified astrocytes are closely similar, or identical, to at least some forms of N-CAM/D2-CAM obtained from whole brain or purified neurones. However, our results also suggest that different N-CAM/D2-CAM polypeptides may be separately expressed by neurones and astrocytes. 相似文献

Idealization of the hydrophobic segment of the alkaline phosphatase signal peptide 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Proteins secreted by prokaryotic cells are synthesized as precursors containing an amino-terminal extension sequence or signal peptide. Although these signal peptides share little primary sequence homology, recent studies suggest that they function via common pathways during the transport process and that a common element may reside in their secondary structural characteristics. We are investigating the role of an idealized hydrophobic sequence with high potential for alpha-helix formation in the Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase signal peptide. Here, amino-acid substitutions were made using site-directed mutagenesis to produce a mutant signal sequence containing nine consecutive leucine residues in the hydrophobic core segment. Transport studies with this mutant precursor indicate that mature alkaline phosphatase is correctly targeted to the E. coli periplasm and that processing of the precursor to the mature form of the enzyme is extremely rapid. In contrast, processing is slowed when the mutant signal sequence is lengthened by the insertion of five additional leucine residues and one serine. 相似文献
