Structure, Function and Diversity of the Healthy Human Microbiome
Nature, 2012 Studies of the human microbiome have revealed that even healthy individuals differ remarkably in the microbes that occupy habitats such as the gut, skin and vagina. Much of this diversity remains unexplained, although diet, environment, host genetics and

The Multiple Facets of Software Diversity: Recent Developments in Year 2000 and Beyond [PDF]
ACM Computing Surveys, volume 48, 2015, 2014 Early experiments with software diversity in the mid 1970's investigated N-version programming and recovery blocks to increase the reliability of embedded systems. Four decades later, the literature about software diversity has expanded in multiple directions: goals (fault-tolerance, security, software engineering); means (managed or automated ...

Diversity and multiplexing: a fundamental tradeoff in multiple-antenna channels
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2003 Multiple antennas can be used for increasing the amount of diversity or the number of degrees of freedom in wireless communication systems. We propose the point of view that both types of gains can be simultaneously obtained for a given multiple-antenna ...

Nutrient levels and trade-offs control diversity in a serial dilution ecosystem [PDF]
eLife 2020; 9:e57790, 2019 Microbial communities feature an immense diversity of species and this diversity is linked with outcomes ranging from ecosystem stability to medical prognoses. Yet the mechanisms underlying microbial diversity are under debate. While simple resource-competition models don't allow for coexistence of a large number of species, it was recently shown that ...

Quality-filtering vastly improves diversity estimates from Illumina amplicon sequencing
Nature Methods, 2012 High-throughput sequencing has revolutionized microbial ecology, but read quality remains a considerable barrier to accurate taxonomy assignment and α-diversity assessment for microbial communities.

When does Diversity Help Generalization in Classification Ensembles? [PDF]
, 2019 Ensembles, as a widely used and effective technique in the machine learning community, succeed within a key element -- "diversity." The relationship between diversity and generalization, unfortunately, is not entirely understood and remains an open research issue.

Population Ecology, EarlyView.In the process of captive breeding and reintroduction of endangered animal species, it is crucial to minimize familial bias in reproductive success during the reintroduction phase to preserve genetic diversity. In this study, we attempted to identify the familial lineage of individuals of the endangered bagrid fish Tachysurus ichikawai born at the ...
