Integrative Hypothesis Test (IHT) has been recently proposed for an integrated study of hypothesis test, classification analysis and feature selection. This paper not only applies IHT to identifying miRNAs biomarkers for the differentiation of lung cancer and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), but also proposes a bootstrapping method to enhance the reliability of IHT ranking on sampl...

Autonomous synthetic actors must invent variations of known material in order to perform given only a limited script, and to assist the director with development of the performance. In addition, the synthetic actors need to learn through the rehearsal process, as their human counterparts do, via feedback from the director. Through the production of two performances, involving both human and syn...

Interdisciplinary projects Monitoring systems are nowadays ubiquitous in complex environments, such as Grids. Their use is fundamental for performance evaluation, problem spotting, advanced debugging and per-use accounting. Building such systems raises challenging issues, like data gathering from Grid components, low intrusiveness, ease of use, adaptive data visualization, faulttolerance and se...

Data mining offers tools for the discovery of relationship, patterns and knowledge from a massive database in order to guide decisions about future activities. Applications from various domains have adopted this technique to perform data analysis efficiently. Several issues need to be addressed when such techniques apply on data these are bulk at size and geographically distributed at various s...

Most of current systems which play video data produced remotely in a real time manner transfer video packets without retransmission. However, corrupted packets can be retransmitted if the time of playing is delayed for the fixed amount time. This paper proposes a new reliable real time protocol, based on SSCOP for ATM networks, which retransmits the only corrupted packets which reach the receiv...

A typical characteristic of refrigeration compressor performance tests is their long duration. A reduction in the time periods related to this activity can be achieved using unsteady-state data analysis. This paper presents an original approach to predicting compressor performance using Bayesian networks and a hybrid Fuzzy–Bayesian network. All analysis was performed using real test data. 2011 ...
