The Chase is a fixpoint algorithm enforcing satisfaction of data dependencies in databases. Its execution involves the insertion of tuples with possible null values and the changing of null values which can be made equal to constants or other null values. Since the chase fixpoint evaluation could be non-terminating, in recent years the problem know as chase termination has been investigated. It...

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP), an enzyme internalized by fluid phase pinocytosis, has been used to study the process by which pinosome contents are delivered to lysosomes in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Pinosome contents were labeled by allowing cells to internalize HRP for 3-5 min. Following various chase times, cells were either processed for HRP and acid phosphatase (AcPase) cytochemistry or ...

We use data on one-participant retirement savings plans to identify a behavioral bias in decisions. Investors who earn top-decile returns increase contributions their accounts more than other investors. Using characteristics of the investors, accounts, and multivariate regression analysis, we first show that such ``return chasing'' behavior is robust controls for financial illiteracy, macroecon...

Chase-escape is a competitive growth process in which red particles spread to adjacent uncolored sites, while blue overtake particles. We introduce the variant die and describe phase diagram for resulting on infinite d-ary trees. A novel connection weighted Catalan numbers makes it possible characterize critical behavior.

This paper addresses three relevant issues arising in designing Chase-type algorithms for ReedSolomon codes: 1) how to choose the set of testing patterns; 2) given the set of testing patterns, what is the optimal testing order in the sense that the most-likely codeword is expected to appear earlier; and 3) how to identify the most-likely codeword. A new Chase-type soft-decision decoding algorit...
