Localize and Conquer!

Destroy and localize

itotic spindle positioning involves a con-formational switch in LGN, the mammalian version of the invertebrate Pins protein, duces a spindle rocking that represents the first genetically manipulable model for studying spindle positioning in vertebrates. The switch operates via the opening of LGN, which can normally fold back onto itself. The unfolding is triggered by binding to either membrane-...

Divide and Conquer

Process mining has been around for more than a decade now, and in that period several discovery and replay algorithms have been introduced that work fairly well on averagesized event logs. Nevertheless, these algorithms have problems dealing with big event logs. If the algorithms do not run out of memory, they will run out of time, because the problem handed to them is just too complex to be so...

Cooperate and Conquer ∗

The idea that cooperation can be a source of power has been extensively discussed in various disciplines. We study this idea from an economic viewpoint by analyzing the effect of intragroup cooperation in a static group rent-seeking model. Intragroup cooperation means that agents’ rent-seeking efforts maximize their group’s expected payoff. Although intragroup cooperation always reduces average...

Partition and Conquer

Although maps and partitions are ubiquitous in geographical information systems and spatial databases, there is only little work investigating their foundations. We give a rigorous definition for spatial partitions and propose partitions as a generic spatial data type that can be used to model arbitrary maps and to support spatial analysis. We identify a set of three powerful operations on part...
