Given a text of length n and a query of length q we p r w n t an dgorithm for finding dl locations of m-tupiu in the Cut m d ia the query that differ by at most t mismatches. Thia problem ia motivated by the dot-matrix constructions for q u e n c e comparison and optimal oligonodcotide probe selection routinely used in molecolu biology. In the c~de q = m the problem coindda with the classical a...

Dose painting radiotherapy is considered a promising radiotherapy technology that enables more targeted dose delivery to tumor rich regions while saving critical normal tissues. Obviously, dose painting planning would be more complicated and hard to be evaluated with current plan quality index systems that were developed under the paradigm of uniform dose prescription. In this study, we introdu...

We present a comprehensive review of perceptions and methods around the Ecological Footprint (EF), based on a survey of more than 50 international EF stakeholders and a review of more than 150 original papers on EF methods and applications over the last decade. The key points identified in the survey are that the EF (a) is seen as a strong communication tool, (b) has a limited role within a pol...

Research funded by this award focused on the synthesis of unique plasmonic nanoparticles, preparation of core-shell particles to enhance the generation of hydrogen via the photocatalytic splitting of water, and mechanistic studies of the charge transfer of such core-shell particles. A particular emphasis centered on the synthesis and study of hollow gold-silver nanoshells (GSNSs) having tunable...

This study simulates an unusual extreme rainfall event that occurred in Salvador city, Bahia, Brazil, on December 9, 2017, which was named subtropical storm Guará and had precipitation of approximately 24 mm within less than 1 h. Numerical simulations were conducted using the Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) model over three domains with horizontal resolutions 3, km. Different combinations se...
