RSS feeds provide a fast and effective way to publish up-to-date information or renew outdated contents for information subscribers. So far RSS information is mostly managed by content publishers but Internet users have less initiative to choose what they really need. More attention needs to be paid on techniques for user-initiative information discovery from RSS feeds. In this paper, a quantit...

Diverse repertoires of antigen-receptor genes that result from combinatorial splicing of coding segments by V(D)J recombination are hallmarks of vertebrate immunity. The (RAG1-RAG2)2 recombinase (RAG) recognizes recombination signal sequences (RSSs) containing a heptamer, a spacer of 12 or 23 base pairs, and a nonamer (12-RSS or 23-RSS) and introduces precise breaks at RSS-coding segment juncti...

Complex Event Processing systems are dependent upon the collection of events from distributed systems. Without a dependent mechanism for event delivery, the inferencing of complex events is hampered and the reliability of the system quickly deteriorates. Determining the right method for collecting events may have a significant impact on system performance and resource utilization and therefore ...

BACKGROUND We previously reported that when compared with controls, long-term abstinent alcoholics (LTAA) have increased resting-state synchrony (RSS) of the inhibitory control network and reduced synchrony of the appetitive drive network, and hypothesized that these levels of synchrony are adaptive and support the behavioral changes required to maintain abstinence. In this study, we investigat...

Currently there is almost ubiquitous availability of wireless signaling for data communications within commercial building complexes resulting in receiver signal strength (RSS) observables that are typically sufficient for generating viable location estimates of mobile wireless devices. However, while RSS observables are generally plentiful, achieving an accurate estimation of location is diffi...

This month we demonstrate multiple contrast adjustment using the False Detection Rate method (FDR). The GNU S language, "R" is used to implement this procedure. R is a statistical programming environment that is a clone of the S and S-Plus language developed at Lucent Technologies. In the following document we illustrate the use of a GNU Web interface to the R engine on the "rss" server, http:/...

This is the beginning of a series discussing methodological approaches used in the social sciences. This article outlines the general problems and difficulties associated with a common method of statistical inference in psychology (my background) and other social science fields: null hypothesis significance testing (hereafter NHST). This introduction can serve as a starting point for researcher...

A radio transceiver normally provides received signal strength (RSS) quantized with 1 dB or higher step size. Currently, we know of no application which has demonstrated a need for sub-dB RSS estimates. In this paper, we demonstrate the need for, and benefits of, greater resolution in RSS for breathing rate monitoring and gesture recognition. Measuring RSS requires orders of magnitude less band...
