Optimization of slit density distribution in shoe upper made of warp knitting to optimize the contact pressure

A method for finding the optimum distribution of the slit density in a Pie Press shoe upper, such that the contact pressure with the foot approaches an ideal distribution is presented in this paper.In a shoe upper made of warp knitting, slits are made by discontinuously knitting the weft under a uniform arrangement of the warp fiber.In this study,

Network-Based Functional Prediction Augments Genetic Association To Predict Candidate Genes for Histamine Hypersensitivity in Mice

Genetic mapping is a primary tool of genetics in model organisms; however, many quantitative trait loci (QTL) contain tens or hundreds of positional candidate genes.Prioritizing these genes for validation is often ad hoc and biased by previous findings.Here we present a technique for prioritizing positional candidates based on computationally infer
