Graph Theory

by Reinhard Diestel , Alexander Schrijver , Paul D. Seymour - MATHEMATISCHES FORSCHUNGSINSTITUT OBERWOLFACH REPORT NO. 16/2007 , 2007
"... This week broadly targeted both finite and infinite graph theory, as well as matroids, including their interaction with other areas of pure mathematics. The talks were complemented by informal workshops focussing on specific problems or particularly active areas. ..."

Specificity and mechanism of action of some commonly used protein kinase inhibitors

by Stephen P. Davies, Helen Reddy, Matilde Caivano, Philip Cohen - Biochem. J , 2000
"... The specificities of 28 commercially available compounds reported to be relatively selective inhibitors of particular serine� threonine-specific protein kinases have been examined against a large panel of protein kinases. The compounds KT 5720, Rottlerin and quercetin were found to inhibit many prot ..."

Social change and crime rate trends: a routine activity approach

by Lawrence E Cohen, Marcus Felson - American Sociological Review , 1979
"... In this paper we present a "routine activity approach " for analyzing crime rate trends and cycles. Rather than emphasizing the characteristics of offenders, with this approach we concentrate upon the circumstances in which they carry out predatory criminal acts. Most criminal acts require ..."

require convergence in space and time of likely offenders, suitable targets and the absence of capable guardians against crime. Human ecological theory facilitates an investigation into the way in which social structure produces this convergence, hence allowing illegal activities to feed upon the legal

Learnability in Optimality Theory

by Bruce Tesar, Paul Smolensky , 1995
"... In this article we show how Optimality Theory yields a highly general Constraint Demotion principle for grammar learning. The resulting learning procedure specifically exploits the grammatical structure of Optimality Theory, independent of the content of substantive constraints defining any given gr ..."

grammatical module. We decompose the learning problem and present formal results for a central subproblem, deducing the constraint ranking particular to a target language, given structural descriptions of positive examples. The structure imposed on the space of possible grammars by Optimality Theory allows

Base-calling of automated sequencer traces using phred. I. Accuracy Assessment

by Brent Ewing, Ladeana Hillier, Michael C. Wendl, Phil Green - GENOME RES , 1998
"... The availability of massive amounts of DNA sequence information has begun to revolutionize the practice of biology. As a result, current large-scale sequencing output, while impressive, is not adequate to keep pace with growing demand and, in particular, is far short of what will be required to obta ..."

to obtain the 3-billion-base human genome sequence by the target date of 2005. To reach this goal, improved automation will be essential, and it is particularly important that human involvement in sequence data processing be significantly reduced or eliminated. Progress in this respect will require both

A new mathematical model for relative quantification in real-time RT-PCR. Nucleic Acids Res

by Michaelw. Pfaffl
"... Use of the real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to amplify cDNA products reverse transcribed from mRNA is on the way to becoming a routine tool in molecular biology to study low abundance gene expression. Real-time PCR is easy to perform, provides the necessary accuracy and produces reliable as ..."

as well as rapid quantification results. But accurate quantification of nucleic acids requires a reproducible methodology and an adequate mathematical model for data analysis. This study enters into the particular topics of the relative quantification in real-time RT–PCR of a target gene transcript

The Capacity of Low-Density Parity-Check Codes Under Message-Passing Decoding

by Thomas J. Richardson, Rüdiger L. Urbanke , 2001
"... In this paper, we present a general method for determining the capacity of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes under message-passing decoding when used over any binary-input memoryless channel with discrete or continuous output alphabets. Transmitting at rates below this capacity, a randomly chos ..."

chosen element of the given ensemble will achieve an arbitrarily small target probability of error with a probability that approaches one exponentially fast in the length of the code. (By concatenating with an appropriate outer code one can achieve a probability of error that approaches zero

Static Scheduling of Synchronous Data Flow Programs for Digital Signal Processing

by Edward Ashford Lee, David G. Messerschmitt - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTERS , 1987
"... Large grain data flow (LGDF) programming is natural and convenient for describing digital signal processing (DSP) systems, but its runtime overhead is costly in real time or cost-sensitive applications. In some situations, designers are not willing to squander computing resources for the sake of pro ..."

of program-mer convenience. This is particularly true when the target machine is a programmable DSP chip. However, the runtime overhead inherent in most LGDF implementations is not required for most signal processing systems because such systems are mostly synchronous (in the DSP sense). Synchronous data

Extracting patterns and relations from the world wide web

by Sergey Brin - In WebDB Workshop at 6th International Conference on Extending Database Technology, EDBT’98 , 1998
"... Abstract. The World Wide Web is a vast resource for information. At the same time it is extremely distributed. A particular type of data such as restaurant lists may be scattered across thousands of independent information sources in many di erent formats. In this paper, we consider the problem of e ..."

Should Postprandial Glucose Be Measured and Treated to a Particular Target? Yes.

by Jaime Davidson Md
"... In August 2001, the American Collegeof Endocrinology (ACE) published itsrecommendations for glycemic targets in the management of diabetes. Included in those recommendations was a target for 2-h postprandial glucose (PPG) of 140 mg/dl; current American Diabetes Associ-ation (ADA) guidelines do not i ..."
