Sensors 2002, 2, 23-34

This paper presents the development of a real-time microsensor-based monitoring system that can be used to detect and characterize volatile organic compounds in soil and groundwater. The system employs an array of polymer-based microsensors (chemiresistors) packaged in a waterproof housing that is designed to protect the sensor from harsh subsurface environments, including completely water-satu...

Algorithmic Modeling and Complexity Fall 2002 Lecture 7 : 23 September

The Maximum Independent Set problem often arises in the following form: given n tasks which compete for the same resources, compute the largest set of tasks which can be performed at the same time without sharing resources. More generally, in case the tasks have weights (priorities), one may ask for the set of tasks of largest total weight which can be performed at the same time. This is called...

Replica Management in Data Grids: GGF5 23 July 2002

Providing fast, reliable and transparent access to data to all users within a community is one of the the most crucial functions of data management in a Grid environment. User communities are typically large and highly geographically distributed. The volume of data that they wish to access is of the order of petabytes and may also be distributed. It is infeasible for all users to access a singl...

Genetics of osteoarticular disorders, Florence, Italy, 22–23 February 2002

Osteoporosis (OP) and osteoarthritis (OA), the two most common age-related chronic disorders of articular joints and skeleton, represent a major public health problem in most developed countries. They are influenced by environmental factors and exhibit a strong genetic component. Large population studies clearly show their inverse relationship; therefore, an accurate analysis of the genetic bas...
