Super-enhancers are large clusters of transcriptional enhancers that drive expression of genes that define cell identity. Improved understanding of the roles that super-enhancers play in biology would be afforded by knowing the constellation of factors that constitute these domains and by identifying super-enhancers across the spectrum of human cell types. We describe here the population of tra...

We consider model based estimates for set-up time. The general setting we are interested in is the following: given a disk and a sequence of read/write requests to certain locations, we would like to know the total time of transitions (set-up time) when these requests are served in an orderly fashion. The problem becomes nontrivial when we have, as is typically the case, only the counts of requ...

This paper presents a new microphone-array post-filtering algorithm for distant speech recognition (DSR). Conventionally, post-filtering methods assume static noise field models, and using this assumption, employ a Wiener filter mechanism for estimating the noise parameters. In contrast to this, we show how we can build the Wiener post-filter based on actual noise observations without any noise...

A P2P system based on super-peer overlay shows good features of combining both advantages of hybrid and pure P2P systems. Most P2P applications being developed are based on the overlay networks composed of super-peers. Super-peer is a special peer acting as a server to a cluster of client peers. Selecting super-peers and constructing a super-peer overlay for clustering client peers are importan...

Let $G$ be a graph with $p$ vertices and $q$ edges. The graph $G$ is said to be a super pair sum labeling if there exists a bijection $f$ from $V(G)cup E(G)$ to ${0, pm 1, pm2, dots, pm (frac{p+q-1}{2})}$ when $p+q$ is odd and from $V(G)cup E(G)$ to ${pm 1, pm 2, dots, pm (frac{p+q}{2})}$ when $p+q$ is even such that $f(uv)=f(u)+f(v).$ A graph that admits a super pair sum labeling is called a {...

Robotics and medical engineering can convert traditional surgery into digital and scientific procedures. Here, we describe our work to develop microsurgical robotic systems and apply engineering technology to assess microsurgical skills. With the collaboration of neurosurgeons and an engineering team, we have developed two types of microsurgical robotic systems. The first, the deep surgical sys...
