Assessing and broadening genetic diversity of a rapeseed germplasm collection

Assessing the level of genetic diversity within a germplasm collection contributes to evaluating the potential for its utilization as a gene pool to improve the performance of cultivars. In this study, 45 high-quality simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were screened and used to estimate the genetic base of a world-wide collection of 248 rapeseed (Brassica napus) inbred lines. For the whole co...

Implementing Orthogonal Persistence: A Simple Optimization Based on Replicating Collection

Orthogonal persistence provides a safe and convenient model of object persistence. We have implemented a transaction system that supports orthogonal persistence in a garbage collected heap. In our system, replicating collection provides e cient concurrent garbage collection of the heap. In this paper, we show how replicating garbage collection can also be used to reduce commit operation latenci...

Multimodal Data Collection in the AMASS++project

The AMASS++ project is a project sponsored by Flemish public interests aimed at increasing the usefulness and usability of multimedia archives notably combined text, audio and visual data through the application of natural language and image processing technologies. To this end, we are collecting digital print media news reports, and television news programming. This data will be thematically o...

Implementing Oblivious Transfer Using a Collection of Dense Trapdoor Permutations

Until recently, the existence of collection of trapdoor permutations (TDP) was believed (and claimed) to imply oblivious transfer (OT). It was recently realized, however, that the commonly accepted general definition of TDP needs to be strengthened slightly in order to make the security proofs of TDP-based OT go through. In particular, Goldreich (The Foundations of Cryptography Volume 2) presen...
