C-NORTA: A Rejection Procedure for Sampling from the Tail of Bivariate NORTA Distributions
(INFORMS, 2012)We propose C-NORTA, an exact algorithm to generate random variates from the tail of a bivariate NORTA random vector. (A NORTA random vector is specified by a pair of marginals and a rank or product-moment correlation, and ... -
caBIG VISDA: modeling, visualization, and discovery for cluster analysis of genomic data
(2008-09-18)Background The main limitations of most existing clustering methods used in genomic data analysis include heuristic or random algorithm initialization, the potential of finding poor local optima, the lack of cluster number ... -
Caching Proxies: Limitations and Potentials
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 1995-07-01), TR-95-12As the number of World-Wide Web users grow, so does the number of connections made to servers. This increases both network load and server load. Caching can reduce both loads by migrating copies of server files closer ... -
Caenorhabditis Elegans Swimming in a Saturated Particulate System
(AIP Publishing, 2010-03-01)Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a nematode that often swims in saturated soil in nature. We investigated the locomotive behavior of C. elegans swimming in a fluid with particles of various sizes and found that the ... -
Cage positioned tilting pad bearing
(United States Patent and Trademark Office, 2016-07-19)A tilting pad bearing for a high speed rotary machines, such as a turbocharger for an internal combustion engine, comprises a cage and a plurality of tilting pads. The cage is formed by two annular rings separated by spacers ... -
Caging the blob: using a slime mold to teach concepts about barriers that constrain the movement of organisms
(University of California Press, 2011-11-01)Few laboratory exercises are designed to teach biology students about barriers that may constrain the movement of organisms. We describe a unique inquiry-based exercise involving Lego mazes (the barrier) and the plasmodial ... -
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 ... -
Calculation of x‐ray intensity from a rough sample based on a statistical model
(American Institute of Physics, 1988-06-01)An x‐ray intensity correction is developed which begins with a roughness model that is often used to describe real surfaces. This is based upon a normal distribution of surface asperities relative to a mean plane. Pair ... -
A Call for Integrating Advanced Information Retrieval Models with CD-ROM/Microcomputer Systems
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 1986-06-01), TR-86-14Recent advances in computer hardware and storage devices will allow inexpensive personal systems to be used by individuals to rapidly access vast collections of text. Research into database management, artificial intelligence, ... -
CampProf: A Visual Performance Analysis Tool for Memory Bound GPU Kernels
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2010-10-01), TR-10-10Current GPU tools and performance models provide some common architectural insights that guide the programmers to write optimal code. We challenge these performance models, by modeling and analyzing a lesser known, but ... -
Can a Patient's In-Hospital Length of Stay and Mortality Be Explained by Early-Risk Assessments?
(PLOS, 2016-09-15)Objective To assess whether a patient’s in-hospital length of stay (LOS) and mortality can be explained by early objective and/or physicians’ subjective-risk assessments. Data Sources/Study Setting Analysis of a ... -
CAN-zip – Centroid Based Delta Compression of Next Generation Sequencing Data
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2015-11-09), TR-15-05We present CANzip, a novel algorithm for compressing short read DNA sequencing data in FastQ format. CANzip is based on delta compression, a process in which only the differences of a specific data stream relative to a ... -
Cancer Cells Sense Fibers by Coiling on them in a Curvature-Dependent Manner
(2019-09-27)Metastatic cancer cells sense the complex and heterogeneous fibrous extracellular matrix (ECM) by formation of protrusions, and our knowledge of how cells physically recognize these fibers remains in its infancy. Here, ... -
Canine Cancer Screening Via Ultraviolet Absorbance And Fluorescence Spectroscopy Of Serum Proteins
(Optical Society of America, 2007-01-01)A cost-effective optical cancer screening and monitoring technique was demonstrated in a pilot study of canine serum samples and was patented for commercialization. Compared to conventional blood chemistry analysis methods, ... -
Canonical description of wing kinematics and dynamics for a straight flying insectivorous bat (Hipposideros pratti)
(PLOS, 2019-06-25)Bats, with highly articulated wings, are some of the most agile flyers in nature. A novel three-dimensional geometric decomposition framework is developed to reduce the complex kinematics of a bat wing into physical movements ... -
Capturing multi-stage fuzzy uncertainties in hybrid system dynamics and agent-based models for enhancing policy implementation in health systems research
(PLOS, 2018-04-25)Background In practical research, it was found that most people made health-related decisions not based on numerical data but on perceptions. Examples include the perceptions and their corresponding linguistic values of ... -
Capturing Truthiness: Mining Truth Tables in Binary Datasets
(Department of Computer Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University, 2007-02-01), TR-07-10We introduce a new data mining problem: mining truth tables in binary datasets. Given a matrix of objects and the properties they satisfy, a truth table identifies a subset of properties that exhibit maximal variability ... -
Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Grids for Shear and End Zone Reinforcement in Bridge Beams
