We introduce an exact algorithm, based on Integer Linear Programming, for the parsimony haplotyping problem (PHP). The PHP uses molecular data and is aimed at the determination of a smallest set of haplotypes that explain a given set of genotypes. Our approach is based on a Set Covering formulation of the problem, solved by branch and bound with both columnand rowgeneration. Existing ILP method...

This paper presents the RDFHomepage project, a framework for using a person’s structured data sources to auto-generate an HTML homepage. RDFHomepage uses RDF files as input, and currently supports several well-known RDF schemas, such as FOAF. In addition to these we have RDF converters for other structured file-formats, like Bibtex. RDFHomepage produces valid HTML 4.01 Transitional pages, and m...

The objective of this study was to describe a new mutation in GNAS in a family with pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia (PHP Ia), a rare osteometabolic disease. An 8-month-old boy was seen by an Endocrinologist due to obesity and low growth velocity. Noteworthy, his mother exhibited typical Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) phenotype. The clinical diagnosis of PHP Ia was suspected. The GNAS...

This paper proposes a basic Ontology for use in Topic Maps storing semantic information on bookmark collections. Furthermore, we introduce a data model allowing to implement such a system on a LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) platform, extended with the Cake-PHP framework. A prototype has been developed as proof of concept, where the use of AJAX and drag and drop capabilities in the browser res...

A meta program is a program, which has other programs or even itself as its application domain. This technique is commonly used to implement advanced software development tools and frameworks. PHP is one of the most popular programming languages for web applications and provides a comprehensive set of meta programming and reflection facilities. This paper gives an overview of these capabilities...

Java is receiving plenty of negative attention lately. Though barely a decade old, the world's most popular programming language is being called bloated, too complicated for the world of quickly written and deployed Web applications, and ripe for dethronement by scripting languages. Forum flames regarding choice of language or development environment are nothing new among developers and analyst...

Developers are familiar with the multitude of small scale content management systems on the market but few know about large scale web content management systems. Up until now, applications such as plone, magnolia, and projects by the Apache foundation have attempted to fill the large market niche. PHP based content management systems have had trouble acquiring enterprise deployments for a numbe...

We introduce in this paper a new specification language named Praspel, for PHP Realistic Annotation and SPEcification Language. This language is based on the Design-by-Contract paradigm. Praspel clauses annotate methods of a PHP class in order to both specify their contracts, using preand postconditions, and assign realistic domains to the method parameters. A realistic domain describes a set o...

Results on open charm production in e-p collisions at HERA obtained with a high statistics sample are presented and compared with next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD predictions. The diierential cross sections for photoproduced D mesons are above all available NLO calculations, in particular in the forward (proton) direction. A study of dijet photoproduction (PHP) associated with charm yields signi...
