摘要： A method of optimizing one or more parameters in a process for considering a DNA containing sample using a method of modeling and a method of modeling itself are provided. The method of modeling the process for considering a DNA containing sample uses a graphical model. The model seeks to provide one or more optimized parameters for the consideration process. The methods aim to consider the whole process, for instance, the number of cells required for the process and/or the extraction efficiency and/or the sub-sample volume relative to the sample volume and/or the amplification efficiency and/or the optimum number of amplification cycles and/or the effect of degradation on the amount of amplifiable DNA in the sample.

摘要： A process for the corrosion protection of metals such as magnesium, aluminium or titanium, where at least two steps are used, including both plasma electrolytic oxidation and chemical passivation. The combination of these two processing steps enhances the corrosion resistance performance of the surface beyond the capability of either of the steps in isolation, providing a more robust protection system. This process may be used as a corrosion protective coating in its own right, or as a protection-enhancing pre-treatment for top-coats such as powder coat or e-coat. When used without an additional top-coat, the treated parts can still retain electrical continuity with and adjoining metal parts. Advantages include reduced cost and higher productivity than traditional plasma-electrolytic oxidation systems, improved corrosion protection, greater coating robustness and electrical continuity.

摘要： Methods for establishing the genotype of a DNA sample, and methods for investigating the potential sources of a DNA sample arising from a plurality of source, are provided, the methods being based on a method including: analysing the sample to produce a data profile for the sample for a locus; proposing a suggested genotype; generating a first stage profile for the locus for the suggested genotype; adjusting the first stage profile to account for one or more factors to give a simulation profile; and comparing the data profile and the simulation profile to provide an indication of the likelihood of the data profile given the suggested genotype. The methods in effect make adjustments to take the first stage profile, potentially through one or more intervening profiles, to the simulation profile, the simulation profile being an anticipation of the data profile which would be expected to occur for that suggested genotype in practice. The methods potentially include adjustments for one or more of preferential amplification and/or stutter and/or allele drop out and/or allele drop in and/or stochastic components and/or noise and/or preferential degradation and/or the relative contributions from the sources.

摘要： A method of analysing DNA samples from mixed sources includes i) obtaining an observed result relating to a value set for a characteristic of the DNA; ii) randomly selecting a selected value set for that DNA characteristic and generating an expected result from that selected value set; iii) comparing the observed result and the expected result and quantifying the difference there between. The method also includes iv) considering the selected value set to be the optimal match; v) randomly selecting a different selected value set and generating another expected result from that selected value set; vi) comparing the observed result with the another expected result and quantifying the difference there between; vii) replacing the existing optimal value set with the different selected value set of step v) if a criteria is met. The method further includes viii) repeating steps v), vi) and vii) at least 10 times; ix) the last optimal match being taken to be the optimal match for the value set for the DNA.

摘要： A system calls elevator cars using a wireless network of nodes. A mobile node at an unknown location broadcasts a request packet. The request packet includes an identification of the mobile node and an elevator call command. One or more fixed nodes at known locations measure a signal strength of the received request packet and determine a known location of the mobile node based on the signal strength and the known locations of the fixed nodes, and call an elevator car according to the known location of the mobile node and the elevator call command.

摘要： A method of investigation a sample is provided, the sample being a mixture of DNA arising from more than one source. The method includes analysing the sample to obtain a genotype for the DNA present in the sample and assigning a prior probability distribution to the genotype. The likelihood function is considered and a posterior probability distribution for the genotype is established. In this way a probabilistic assessment of the genotype of the major or minor contributor to the sample can be obtained. This is beneficial over prior methods which use a deterministic method, and so involve the use of rule based methods.
