DNA PANEL DESIGN FOR GENOMIC STUDIES IN RUSSIAN CATTLE BREEDS by N. S. Yudin, L. A. Vasil’eva, V. A. Belyavskaya, R. B. Aitnazarov, P. N. Smirnov, M. Heaton, W. W. Laegreid, G. V. Orlova, A. G. Romashchenko, M. I. Voevoda

“…The resulting panel is equivalent to USDA MARC Beef Cattle Diversity Panel version 2.1 in the power of SNP identification (number of unshared haploid genomes = 186,1, minimum allele frequency required for its detection with 95 % probability – 1,6 %). Analysis of three SNPs shows an insignificant difference between the allele frequencies in Galloway, Hereford, Grey Ukrainian, and Black Pied herds and those in the panel. …”

Two-timescale unlicensed spectrum partitioning algorithm between LTE and Wi-Fi network by Weihua WU, Runzi LIU, Qinghai YANG

“…According to the spectrum partitioning decisions of Wi-Fi and LTE respectively depended on global channel state information (CSI) and local CSI, an online two-timescale iteration algorithm was developed.The Wi-Fi spectrum was partitioned at the large timescale according to the global CSI whereas the LTE spectrum was partitioned according to the fast-changing local CSI.Then, the adaptive compensation mechanism was designed for improving the tracking performance of the two-timescale algorithm.Moreover, the sufficient condition was derived for the two-timescale algorithm tracking the moving equilibrium point without errors.Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed two-timescale algorithm achieves excellent system performance at very low overhead.…”

Geopolitical (non) opportunities vs. "late" response of the foreign political service of North Macedonia in the process of European integration by Jelisavac-Trošić Sanja, Arnaudov Mitko

“…In this way, the principles of equality, sovereignty and political independence were placed in a subordinate position in relation to the factual political powers in interstate relations, directly harming the principle of self-determination, in the context of the identity attributes of North Macedonia and the Macedonian people.In the period when geopolitical circumstances were favourable to North Macedonia, the opportunity for this country to become a member of the European Union was missed, thus achieving a strategic foreign policy goal, which in the context of the EU did not cause any consequences when it comes to the EU itself. However, the consequences for North Macedonia itself remained and only in the following period did the circumstances worsen and lead this country to a longer and more difficult path to accession. …”
