C 5.8 Spatial Analysis Martin Ester Preliminary Draft of August 1, 1998 Both, the number and the size of spatial databases are rapidly growing in applications such as geomarketing, astrophysics and molecular biology. This is mainly due to the amazing progress in scientific instruments such as satellites with remote sensors, telescopes or X-ray crystallography. While a lot of algorithms have bee...

Martin Kenney and Urs von Burg advance two claims in this paper. They assert first that the divergent performance of the Silicon Valley and Route 128 economies can be explained by the path-dependent technological trajectories of their leading industries rather than by the organization of their industrial systems. Second, they claim that these regional dynamics are best understood through an ana...

This lecture provides theoretical background required for static program analysis, and presents the idea of chaotic iterations. Abstract interpretation was introduced in the seminal paper by Cousot and Cousot [1]. The main idea is to map each of the program states to an abstract state. An abstract state may represent more than one concrete state. Using the abstract states, it will be easier to ...

The 5-chloro-8-hydroxy-quinolinium cation in the the title ion pair, C(9)H(7)ClNO(+)·NO(3) (-), is approximately coplanar with the nitrate anion [dihedral angle = 16.1 (1)°]. Two ion pairs are hydrogen bonded (2 × O-H⋯O and 2 × N-H⋯O) about a center of inversion, generating an R(4) (4)(14) ring.

Autophagy is a cellular pathway that leads to the degradation of proteins and organelles. This process is usually involved in the maintenance of cell homeostasis when the organism experiences nutrient starvation, but in holometabolous insects autophagy also intervenes in the demolition of larval tissues and organs during metamorphosis. This review summarizes the current knowledge about autophag...

Aortic infection is associated with high morbidity and mortality, but the outcomes of prosthetic (surgical or endovascular) grafts compared to primary aortic infections are poorly defined. This large single-center retrospective study aims compare graft infections. Patients diagnosed infected between January 2000 December 2022 were included. group based on type (primary, surgical endograft). Bas...

tain the level of collaboration between their departments and local hospitals in regard to WMD preparedness and a coordinated medical and public health response. Forty-four (90%) of 49 CHDs completed the interview. One of the 49 responding CHDs is responsible for a six-county area, thus accounting for the state’s 55 counties. Fewer than half (20 of 44) of the respondents have provided contact i...

1 Overview In the last lecture we took a more in depth look at Chernoff Bounds and introduced subgaussian and subexponential variables. In this lecture we will continue talking about subgaussian variables and related random variables – subexponential and subgamma, and finally we will give a proof of famous Johnson-Lindenstrauss lemma using property of subgaussian/subgamma variables. Definition ...

We have proposed Smart Sensor Networks (S-Nets) as an architecture and set of distributed algorithms to extract, interpret and exploit networked sensor devices. Heretofore, the development of this approach has been done in simulation. In this paper, we describe two complementary implementations of S-Nets: (1) on a set of Berkeley motes comprised of low-power 8-bit, 128Kb memory processors, comm...
