background & aim: vast variety of plants in various regions of the country and lack of enough information on their chemical combinations, sometimes lead to triggering poisoning and unsatisfied complications. regarding to fabulous herbal characteristics of hypricum, many research about poisoning and side effects of high concentrations of h. scabrum have not taken place until now. therefore r...

given the importance of transcriptome analysis in various biological studies and considering thevast amount of whole transcriptome sequencing data, it seems necessary to develop analgorithm to assemble transcriptome data. in this study we propose an algorithm fortranscriptome assembly in the absence of a reference genome. first, the contiguous sequencesare generated using de bruijn graph with d...

The graphicsQC package is a new R package developed for extending Quality Control for Graphics in R. It is capable of evaluating arbitrary code to produce plots in different file formats, while recording information about them. Sets of these plots are then able to be compared, with plots of differences produced (when available). Lastly, information about these comparisons can be transformed int...

We show in this paper that, on the one hand, named entities can be designated using different denominations and that, on the second hand, names denoting named entities are polysemous. The analysis cannot be limited to reference resolution but should take into account naming strategies, which are mainly based on two linguistic operations: synecdoche and metonymy. Lastly, we present a model that ...

This paper surveys some of the literature pertaining to searching and retrieving OCR’ed printed documents with emphasis on Arabic documents. It examines peculiarities of Arabic morphology, orthography, retrieval, word clustering, display, OCR, and error correction. The paper surveys existing evaluation test-beds for retrieval of Arabic OCR texts. Lastly, it concludes with possible directions fo...

The W3C Web Cryptography API will be the standard API for accessing cryptographic primitives in Javascript-based environments. We describe the motivations behind the creation of the W3C Web Cryptography API, deal with a number of objections, and then describe the API in detail with motivating use-cases and sample code. Lastly, we outline open issues and how the wider academic and security commu...

Introduction This paper will summarise work undertaken on behalf of the UK academic community to evaluate and develop a digital gazetteer server and service which will underpin geographic searching within the UK distributed academic information network. It will outline the context and the problem domain, the rationale behind the project and reports on the issues investigated and findings to dat...

iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I w ould rst like to thank my advisor, Professor Wen-mei Hwu, for his guidance and support. I have learned a lot from him and I greatly enjoyed taking his classes during my undergraduate and graduate school days. I also like to thank Scott Mahlke who helped me whenever I had a question or problem. Without his help this thesis would never have been nished. Lastly, I like to ...

Cloud computing provides an innovative technology that enables Software as a Service (SaaS) to its customers. With cloud computing technologies, a suite of program understanding tools is suggested to be deployed in a cloud to aid the generation of test cases for software testing. This cloud-enabled service allows customers to use these tools through an on-demand, flexible, and pay-per-use model...

This document provides an overview of the progress made with my research into the introduction of innovation between May and September 2008. It continues where the first milestone [49] left off and discusses first the methodical advances regarding Grounded Theory methodology. Second, it presents the first set of results regarding the introduction of innovation such as the concepts of hosting, p...
