Big data infrastructures are increasingly supporting datasets that are relatively structured. These datasets are full of correlations among their attributes, which if managed in systematic ways would enable optimization opportunities that otherwise will be missed. Unlike relational databases in which discovering and exploiting the correlations in query optimization have been extensively studied...

2 there has been strong and growing interest in Java's security as well as in new security issues raised by this technology's deployment. These concerns have reached the mainstream—the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and others have run stories on Java security. However, we must examine Java's trustworthiness comprehensively, from a broad dependability perspective, 3-6 not simply from ...

The coverage of center pivot irrigation systems used around the world has increased. One potential factor driving their adoption is improved water application efficiency relative to some other sprinkler or surface approaches. Center may be further by dynamic elevation spray (DESA). DESA adjust nozzle height in response plant growth and canopy heterogeneities. approach relatively new there uncer...

This paper investigates the impact of infectious diseases on evolution sovereign credit default swap (CDS) spreads for a panel 77 countries. Using annual data over 2004–2020, we find that infectious-disease outbreaks have no discernible effect CDS spreads, after controlling macroeconomic and institutional factors. However, granular analysis using high-frequency indicates COVID-19 pandemic has h...

The last decade witnessed intensive efforts in drug discovery and the emergence of thousands molecules with potential for use as therapeutic targets. However, only a few hundred these reached stage clinical trials, handful being translated from bench to bedside. One such example is imiquimod, an immune response modifier belonging imidazoquinoline family. Imiquimod was first approved by US Food ...
