This paper addresses a major challenge in data mining applications where the full information about the underlying processes, such as sensor networks or large online database, cannot be practically obtained due to physical limitations such as low bandwidth or memory, storage, or computing power. Motivated by the recent theory on direct information sampling called compressed sensing (CS), we pro...

Many factors affect meeting scheduling, some of which are explicit (What existing meetings do I have?), implicit (I prefer to avoid meetings before 10:00 am), or cultural (social events should be scheduled for Friday evenings and weekends, b...

In a recent study, Blandizzi et al. (Br. J.

This observation was based on results of in vitro assays performed on AChE from two sources (human erythrocyte and electric eel). They reported onl...
