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 ...

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 ...

As long as software has been produced, there have been e orts to strive for quality in software products. In order to
understand quality in software products, researchers have built models of software quality that rely ...

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 ...
