We introduce a dynamic and secondary-memory-based variant of the List of Clusters, which is shown to be competitive with the literature, especially on higher-dimensional spaces, where it outperforms the M-tree in searches and I/Os used for insertions. The basic principles of our design are applicable to other secondary-memory structures.

Extended Lagrangian molecular dynamics (XLMD) is a general method for performing simulations using quantum and classical many-body potentials. Recently several new XLMD schemes have been proposed tested on classes of polarization models such as induced dipoles or Drude charges, by creating an auxiliary set these same degrees freedom that are reversibly integrated through time. This gives rise t...

This paper compares two storage models for gazetteers, nameley the standard one based on numbered indexing automata associated with an auxiliary storage device against a pure finite-state model, the latter being superior in terms of space and time complexity.1

BACKGROUND The necessity for, or redundancy of, distinctive KChIP proteins is not known. RESULTS Deletion of KChIP2 leads to increased susceptibility to epilepsy and to a reduction in IA and increased excitability in pyramidal hippocampal neurons. CONCLUSION KChIP2 is essential for homeostasis in hippocampal neurons. SIGNIFICANCE Mutations in K(A) channel auxiliary subunits may be loci fo...

Arguments showing that exchange-only optimized effective potential (xOEP) methods, with finite basis sets, cannot in general yield the Hartree-Fock (HF) ground state energy, but a higher one, are given. While the orbital products of a complete basis are linearly dependent, the HF ground state energy can only be obtained via a basis set xOEP scheme in the special case that all products of occupi...

introduction: evoked potentials arisen by stimulating the brain can be utilized as a communication tool  between humans and machines. most brain-computer interface (bci) systems use the p300 component,  which is an evoked potential. in this paper, we evaluate the use of the hidden markov model (hmm) for  detection of p300.  materials and methods: the wavelet transforms, wavelet-enhanced indepen...

We consider the cosmological application of Lee-Wick theory where a field has a higher derivative kinetic operators. The higher derivative term can be eliminated by introducing a set of auxiliary fields. We investigate the cosmological evolutions of these fields as a candidate of dark energy. This model has the same structure as so called “quintom’ model except the form of potentials and the si...

The aim of a modern Building Automation System (BAS) is to enhance interactive control strategies for energy efficiency and user comfort. In this context, we develop a novel control algorithm that uses a stochastic building occupancy model to improve mean energy efficiency while minimizing expected discomfort. We compare by simulation our Stochastic Model Predictive Control (SMPC) strategy to t...
