Meaningfully integrating massive multi-experimental genomic data sets is becoming critical for the understanding of gene function. We have recently proposed methodologies for integrating large numbers of microarray data sets based on consensus clustering. Our methods combine gene clusters into a unified representation, or a consensus, that is insensitive to mis-classifications in the individual...

We compare the consensus and uniform consensus problems in synchronous systems. In contrast to consensus, uniform consensus is not solvable with byzantine failures. This still holds for the omission failure model if a majority of processes may be faulty. For the crash failure model, both consensus and uniform consensus are solvable, no matter how many processes are faulty. In this failure model...

In this paper, the optimal adaptive leader-follower consensus of linear continuous time multi-agent systems is considered. The error dynamics of each player depends on its neighbors’ information. Detailed analysis of online optimal leader-follower consensus under known and unknown dynamics is presented. The introduced reinforcement learning-based algorithms learn online the approximate solution...

We compare the consensus problem with the uniform consensus problem in synchronous systems. In contrast to consensus, uniform consensus is not solvable in synchronous systems with byzantine failures. This still holds for the omission failure model if a majority of processes may be faulty. For the crash failure model, both consensus and uniform consensus are solvable, no matter how many processe...

rational knowledge-claims, consisting of theoretical propositions expressing a judgment about complex urban problems, are not new. the audiences, i.e. the public whose lives are affected by such claims, have begun to question the claims of rationality in urban planning. in response, each urban planner, believing in a particular theory or point of reference, endeavors to challenge competing theo...

background: escherichia coli is a commensal-pathogenic organism, which includes a wide range of strains. despite several advanced molecular-genomic technologies for detecting and identifying different strains of e. coli, enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus polymerase chain reaction (eric-pcr) technique is a quick, sharp and cost effective fingerprint method. the major purpose of the...
