The analysis of STRs located on the X chromosome has been one of the strategies used to address complex kinship cases. Its usefulness is, however, limited by the low availability of population haplotype frequency data and lack of knowledge on the probability of mutations. Due to the large amount of data required to obtain reliable estimates, it is important to investigate the possibility of grouping data from p...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; Nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs) using varactor diodes can produce high-frequency waves on the order of some tens of megahertz. They reach only low power signals, and a way to improve the voltage modulation depth (VMD) without employing semiconductor devices is by using shock wave configuration. The...
