Next-generation sequencing technologies have redefined the way genome sequencing is performed. They are able to produce tens of millions of short sequences (reads), during a single experiment, and with a much lower cost ...

In this paper, the simulated performance of a number of differentiated services traffic conditioners is studied under a range of synthetic traffic conditions. The traffic conditioners are compared using two performance ...

Backward polygon beam tracing methods, that is beam tracing from the light source (L), are well suited to gather path coherency from specular (S) scattering surfaces. These methods are useful for modelling and efficiently ...

This case study involves an analysis of rmware that controls explosions in mining operations. The purpose is to estimate the probability that external disruptive events (such as electro- magnetic interference) could ...

Conventionally, polynomial filters are derived for evenly spaced points. Here, a derivation of polynomial filters for irregularly spaced points is provided and illustrated by example. The filter weights and variance ...

The objective of this paper is to explain the notion of fine-grain transformations (FGTs), showing how they can be used as prototypical building blocks for constructing refactorings of a design-level system description. ...

This study examines the effects of location inaccuracies on two movement-assisted Voronoi-based sensor deployment and reconfiguration algorithms, VEC and VOR, due to Wang et al. For the purposes of examining the extent ...

Over the past four decades, software engineering has emerged as a discipline in its own right, though it has roots both in computer science and in classical engineering. Its philosophical foundations and premises are not ...

In indexing of, and pattern matching on, DNA and text sequences, it is often important to represent all factors of a sequence. One e cient, compact representation is the factor oracle (FO). At the same time, any classical ...
