The present paper extends the concept of a stochastic operating cycle (sOC) by introducing additional models for weather and traffic. In regard to parameters, dynamic air temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, precipitation, wind speed direction are included. traffic is instead based on macroscopic approach which describes density dynamically means simple autoregressive process. ...

A standard method for the identification of novel non-coding RNAs is homology search by covariance models. Covariance models are constructed for specific RNA families with common sequence and structure (e.g. transfer RNAs). Currently, there are models for 2208 families available from Rfam. Before being included into a database, a proposed family should be tested for specificity (finding only tr...
