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 ... -
Access to Autism Spectrum Disorder Services for Rural Appalachian Citizens
(2020-01)Background: Low-resource rural communities face significant challenges regarding availability and adequacy of evidence-based services. Purposes: With respect to accessing evidence-based services for Autism Spectrum ... -
Acoustic differences between healthy and depressed people: a cross-situation study
(2019-10-15)Abstract Background Abnormalities in vocal expression during a depressed episode have frequently been reported in people with depression, but less is known about if these ... -
Analysis and remedy of negativity problem in hybrid stochastic simulation algorithm and its application
(2019-06-20)Abstract Background The hybrid stochastic simulation algorithm, proposed by Haseltine and Rawlings (HR), is a combination of differential equations for traditional deterministic ... -
Apigenin Impacts the Growth of the Gut Microbiota and Alters the Gene Expression of Enterococcus
(MDPI, 2017-08-03)Apigenin is a major dietary flavonoid with many bioactivities, widely distributed in plants. Apigenin reaches the colon region intact and interacts there with the human gut microbiota, however there is little research on ... -
Application and Evaluation of Surrogate Models for Radiation Source Search
(MDPI, 2019-12-12)Surrogate models are increasingly required for applications in which first-principles simulation models are prohibitively expensive to employ for uncertainty analysis, design, or control. They can also be used to approximate ... -
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

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 ... -
AVIST: A GPU-Centric Design for Visual Exploration of Large Multidimensional Datasets
(MDPI, 2016-10-07)This paper presents the Animated VISualization Tool (AVIST), an exploration-oriented data visualization tool that enables rapidly exploring and filtering large time series multidimensional datasets. AVIST highlights ... -
Bare-hand volume cracker for raw volume data analysis
(2016-09-28)Analysis of raw volume data generated from different scanning technologies faces a variety of challenges, related to search, pattern recognition, spatial understanding, quantitative estimation, and shape description. In a ... -
A Bayesian approach to multivariate adaptive localization in ensemble-based data assimilation with time-dependent extensions
(Copernicus Publications, 2019-06-14)Ever since its inception, the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) has elicited many heuristic approaches that sought to improve it. One such method is covariance localization, which alleviates spurious correlations due to finite ... -
‘Beating the news’ with EMBERS: Forecasting Civil Unrest using Open Source Indicators
(2014)We describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of EMBERS, an automated, 24x7 continuous system for forecasting civil unrest across 10 countries of Latin America using open source indicators such as tweets, news ...
