Right Brain: Go medicine! A match millennia in the making

Right brain: go medicine! A match millennia in the making.

Siu-Hin Wan, BS The large dark cluster in the left corner looks all but conquered by the infiltrating cells gone awry. The bright flower-shaped blossom amid the speckles like a winter snowstorm signals a massive battle about to commence between two giant forces. Yet to understand the true meaning of what lies ahead requires a lower magnification: the ability to synthesize information obtained f...

The match - making

This paper discusses a cryptographic protocol to evaluate an and-gate such that a party can keep his input bit secret from the other party. Such a protocol is of interest, because it can be generalized to any logical circuit for any number of participants. A formal statement of this generalization reads as follows: n participants want to compute together a function f(x1; x2; :::; xn) with xi be...

Finding the Right Match Fast

DNA recombinases face the daunting task of locating and pairing up specific sequences among millions of base pairs in a genome, all within about an hour. Qi et al. show that recombinases solve this problem by searching in 8-nt microhomology units, reducing the search space and accelerating the homology search.

Residency Selection: Making a Match

Match-Making in Bartering Scenarios

This thesis extends tree similarity based match-making from the buyer/seller situation to a scenario of bilateral bartering and multi-agent ring bartering. It is built on top of the AgentMatcher tree similarity algorithm for node-labelled, arc-labelled, arc-weighted trees. A representation of these trees in a multi-dimensional space is developed to allow efficient indexing and pruning in large ...
