In many scienti c and commercial applications such as Earth Observation System (EOSDIS) and mobile phone services tracking a large number of clients, it is a daunting task to archive and index ever increasing volume of complex data that are continuously added to databases. To eÆciently manage multidimensional data in scienti c and data warehousing environments, R-tree based index structures hav...

conclusions: these findings suggested that plasma adpn level is inversely associated with gfr and directly correlate with hdl-cholesterol and inversely with some, but not all metabolic factors of ckd patients who were not undergone dialysis. results: plasma adpn level was significantly higher in ckd patients than control group (p = 0.04). it was directly correlated with hdl-cholesterol (r = 0.5...

This paper formulates Shewhart mean (X-bar) and range (R) control charts for diagnosis and interpretation by artificial neural networks. Neural networks are trained to discriminate between samples from probability distributions considered within control limits and those which have shifted in both location and variance. Neural networks are also trained to recognize samples and predict future poi...

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...

closed kinematic chains and 1 2 ) as a force constrainad mechanical system working on the samo object simultaneously. based on a feedback linearization and simultaneous output docoupling technique. Applying a nonli ear faodback and a nonlinear coordinate transformation, the complicated model of the multiple robot arms in either formulation is converted into a linear and output decoupled system....

Buffer-constrained R-D optimized rate control for video coding is investigated in this work. A frame level bit allocation is first presented based on a model of the relationship between the rate (R) and nonzero (NZ) coefficients. With the modelled RNZ relationship, a quality feedback scheme is proposed to generate VBV (Video Buffer Verifier) compliant bitstream with assured video quality. Then,...

UNLABELLED High-throughput technologies have led to an explosion of genomic data available for automated analysis. The consequent possibility to simultaneously sample multiple layers of variation along the gene expression flow requires computational methods integrating raw information from different '-omics'. It has been recently demonstrated that translational control is a widespread phenomeno...

To perform statistical disclosure control (SDC) on tabular data is a challenging task because we need to ensure that every suppressed cell of a table has a suffi cient width of a confi dentiality interval under the presence of linear relations among cell variables. However, we fi nd that the existing SDC tool (i.e., τ-ARGUS) does not effectively support an output checking process of the on-site...

The demand for data from surveys, censuses or registers containing sensible information on people or enterprises has increased significantly over the last years. However, before data can be provided to the public or to researchers, confidentiality has to be respected for any data set possibly containing sensible information about individual units. Confidentiality can be achieved by applying sta...
