In this paper, we present a novel method for medial axis approximation based on Constrained Centroidal Voronoi Diagram of discrete data (image, volume). The proposed approach is based on the shape boundary subsampling by a clustering approach which generates a Voronoi Diagram well suited for Medial Axis extraction. The resulting Voronoi Diagram is further filtered so as to capture the correct t...

This article assumes acquired the skills and expertise of a statistician in unsupervised (NMF, k-means, SVD) and supervised learning (regression, CART, random forest). What skills and knowledge do the statistician must acquire it to reach the "Volume" scale of big data ? After a quick overview of the different strategies available and especially those imposed by Hadoop, algorithms of some avail...

The question of anyons and fractional statistics in field theories in 2+1 dimensions with Chern-Simons (CS) term is discussed in some detail. Arguments are spelled out as to why fractional statistics is only possible in two space dimensions. This phenomenon is most naturally discussed within the framework of field theories with CS term, hence as a prelude to this discussion I first discuss the ...

Germ line BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 mutations were screened in 50 Turkish breast and/or ovarian cancer patients composed of hereditary, familial, early onset and male cancer groups. Genomic DNA samples were tested by heteroduplex analysis and DNA sequencing. Two truncating BRCA2 mutations, one novel (6880 insG) and one previously reported (3034 delAAAC), were found in two out of six (33%) hereditary b...

Glycogen storage disease II (GSDII or Pompe disease, OMIM # 232300) is an autosomal recessive hereditary lysosomal disorder. Mutations in the GAA gene usually lead to reduced acid α-glucosidase (acid maltase, GAA, OMIM *606800, EC 3.1.26.2) activity, which results in impaired degradation and subsequent accumulation of glycogen within lysosomes. We present an Iranian boy, who was diagnosed with ...

Full-wave electromagnetic solver based on the Transmission Line Matrix Method has been deployed on Grid test-bed. This Grid-based electromagnetic approach exploits the availability of computing node at disposal through the Grid to face the demand of arbitrary large simulations by allocating a corresponding amount of resources hence minimizing the overall elapse time. In order to highlight the b...
