A common problem in morphometric studies is to determine whether, and in what ways, two or more previously established groups of organisms differ. Discrimination of predefined groups is a very different problem than trying to characterize the patterns of morphological variation among individuals, and so the kinds of morphometric tools used for these two kinds of questions differ. In this paper ...

MOTIVATION Tissue-specific transcription factor binding sites give insight into tissue-specific transcription regulation. RESULTS We describe a word-counting-based tool for de novo tissue-specific transcription factor binding site discovery using expression information in addition to sequence information. We incorporate tissue-specific gene expression through gene classification to positive e...

this study evaluates the discriminative power of sequential spectrum analysis of the short-term electrocardiogram (ecg) time series in separating normal and subjects with life threatening arrhythmias like, ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (vt/vf). the raw ecg time series is transformed into a series of binary symbols and the binary occupancy or relative distribution of mono-sequences (i.e. ...

BACKGROUND Stigmatising and discriminating attitudes may discourage tuberculosis (TB) patients from actively seeking medical care, hide their disease status, and discontinue treatment. It is expected that appropriate knowledge regarding TB should remove stigmatising and discriminating attitudes. In this study we assessed the prevalence of stigmatising and discriminating attitudes towards TB pat...

We address the issue of discrimination between two-qubit amplitude damping channels by exploring several strategies. For single-shot, we show that excited state does not always give optimal input, and side entanglement assistance has limited benefit. On contrary, feedback from environment is more beneficial. two-shot, prove in-utility entangled inputs. Then focusing on individual (local) measur...
