The main objective of this paper is to compare the classification accuracy provided large, comprehensive collections of patterns (rules) derived from archives of past observations, with that provided by small, comprehensible collections of patterns. This comparison is carried out here on the basis of an empirical study, using several publicly available datasets. The results of this study show t...

A method is described for systematically deriving steady-state rate equations. It is based on the schematic method of King & Altman [J. Phys. Chem. (1956) 60, 1375-1378], but is expressed in purely algebraic terms. It is suitable for implementation as a computer program, and a program has been written in FORTRAN IV and deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50078 (12 pages) at the British L...

Cloud computing supports a paradigm shift from local to network-centric computing and enables customers with limited computational resources to outsource large-scale computational tasks to the cloud, such as linear equations and linear programming. Recently, Yu et al. [IEEE TIFS, 11(6), 2016, 1362-1375] have proposed a scheme for cloud storage auditing with verifiable outsourcing of key updates...

An extension of the graphic method of King & Altman (1956) (J. Phys. Chem. 60, 1375-1378) is applied to the analysis of relaxation times of enzyme-catalysed reactions and a simple graphic method is presented. Clear-cut graphs, simple drawing, easy operation (without the need to perform the usual complex mathematical operations), and reliable results are the main characteristics of this kind of ...

This survey examines the state of the art of a variety of problems related to pseudo-Boolean optimization, i.e. to the optimization of set functions represented by closed algebraic expressions. The main parts of the survey examine general pseudo-Boolean optimization, the specially important case of quadratic pseudo-Boolean optimization (to which every pseudo-Boolean optimization can be reduced)...
