A Declarative Approach to Hardening Services Against QoS Vulnerabilities
(IEEE, 2011)The Quality of Service (QoS) in a distributed service-oriented application can be negatively affected by a variety of factors. Network volatility, hostile exploits, poor service management, all can prevent a service-oriented ... -
A Modest Proposal for Open Market Risk Assessment to Solve the Cyber-Security Problem
(Virginia Tech, 2016-04-29)We introduce a model for a market based economic system of cyber-risk valuation to correct fundamental problems of incentives within the information technology and information processing industries. We assess the makeup ... -
A Simulation Optimization Approach to Epidemic Forecasting
(PLOS, 2013-06-27)Reliable forecasts of influenza can aid in the control of both seasonal and pandemic outbreaks. We introduce a simulation optimization (SIMOP) approach for forecasting the influenza epidemic curve. This study represents ... -
A systematic review of studies on forecasting the dynamics of influenza outbreaks
(Wiley, 2013-12-23)Forecasting the dynamics of influenza outbreaks could be useful for decision-making regarding the allocation of public health resources. Reliable forecasts could also aid in the selection and implementation of interventions ... -
The Abridgment and Relaxation Time for a Linear Multi-Scale Model Based on Multiple Site Phosphorylation
(PLOS, 2015-08-11)Random effect in cellular systems is an important topic in systems biology and often simulated with Gillespie’s stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA). Abridgment refers to model reduction that approximates a group of ... -
Application of approximate matrix factorization to high order linearly implicit Runge-Kutta methods
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015-10-01) -
Applications and Security of Next-Generation, User-Centric Wireless Systems
(MDPI, 2010-07-28)Pervasive wireless systems have significantly improved end-users quality of life. As manufacturing costs decrease, communications bandwidth increases, and contextual information is made more readily available, the role of ... -
Approximate Exponential Algorithms to Solve the Chemical Master Equation
(Vilnius Gediminas Tech Univ, 2015-05-04) -
An Atlas of the Speed of Copy Number Changes in Animal Gene Families and Its Implications
(PLOS, 2009-10-23)The notion that gene duplications generating new genes and functions is commonly accepted in evolutionary biology. However, this assumption is more speculative from theory rather than well proven in genome-wide studies. ... -
Automatic layout and visualization of biclusters
(2006-09-04)Background Biclustering has emerged as a powerful algorithmic tool for analyzing measurements of gene expression. A number of different methods have emerged for computing biclusters in gene expression data. Many of these ... -
Bare-hand volume cracker for raw volume data analysis
(2016-09-28) -
Burst of Young Retrogenes and Independent Retrogene Formation in Mammals
(PLOS, 2009-03-27)Retroposition and retrogenes gain increasing attention as recent studies show that they play an important role in human new gene formation. Here we examined the patterns of retrogene distribution in 8 mammalian genomes ... -
CAGm: A repository of germline microsatellite variations in the 1000 genomes project
(Oxford University Press, 2019-01-08)The human genome harbors an abundance of repetitive DNA; however, its function continues to be debated. Microsatellites-a class of short tandem repeat-are established as an important source of genetic variation. Array ... -
The Catchment Feature Model: A Device for Multimodal Fusion and a Bridge between Signal and Sense
(2004-09-18)The catchment feature model addresses two questions in the field of multimodal interaction: how we bridge video and audio processing with the realities of human multimodal communication, and how information from the different ... -
CCS 2017- Women in Cyber Security (CyberW) Workshop
(ACM, 2017)The CyberW workshop is motivated by the significant gender imbalance in all security conferences, in terms of the number of publishing authors, PC members, organizers, and attendees. What causes this gender imbalance remains ... -
Changes in RNA Splicing in Developing Soybean (Glycine max) Embryos
(MDPI, 2013-11-21)Developing soybean seeds accumulate oils, proteins, and carbohydrates that are used as oxidizable substrates providing metabolic precursors and energy during seed germination. The accumulation of these storage compounds ... -
Charge State of the Globular Histone Core Controls Stability of the Nucleosome
(CELL PRESS, 2010-09-01)Presented here is a quantitative model of the wrapping and unwrapping of the DNA around the histone core of the nucleosome that suggests a mechanism by which this transition can be controlled: alteration of the charge state ...
