We describe Boiler, a new software tool for compressing and querying large collections of RNA-seq alignments. Boiler discards most per-read data, keeping only a genomic coverage vector plus a few empirical distributions summarizing the alignments. Since most per-read data is discarded, storage footprint is often much smaller than that achieved by other compression tools. Despite this, the most ...

We report our ten-year experience of hyperchlorination, thermal shock, chlorine dioxide, monochloramine, boilers and point-of-use filters for controlling legionella contamination in a hospital hot water distribution system. Shock disinfections were associated with a return to pre-treatment contamination levels within one or two months. We found that chlorine dioxide successfully maintained leve...

One of the most relevant European R&D&d initiatives focusing on Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is the CIUDEN Carbon Capture and Storage Integral project, supported by the Spanish Government through the Foundation Ciudad de la Energia (CIUDEN). CIUDEN is a public institution created by the Spanish Administration in 2006 and fully conceived for collaborative research, development a...

Problem statement: The process control of steam boiler is very popular used in the industrial. The temperature of the water is transferred directly by electrical heater. The pressure will increase based on the changing of the temperature. The purpose of the control is to change the opening set point for the valve when the temperature and pressure in the tank are changed. For this problem, we de...

In the marine steam power plant, the main boiler has the small size and the little heat capacity. However, marine ship requires high maneuverability, when it is running, the loads varied frequently, and the varying range is big, and this will cause the boiler security problem, such as over-pressure or under-voltage. The marine steam power plant boilerturbine coordinated control strategy is to s...

The aim of this study was to identify the most effective disinfection protocol to reduce the presence of Legionella pneumophila in the water system of two Italian hospitals. From 2004 to 2009, 271 samplings of hot water were carried out in 11 hospital units to detect the presence of L. pneumophila. Additionally, water samples collected from one boiler outlet and the hot water recirculation were...

Performance of a fuzzy system identifier is investigated against a fossil fuel boiler data. A multi-layer neuro-ftrzzy system presents identification of a drum type boiler. This identification techruque provides a rule-based approach to express the boiler dynamics in fuzzy rules that are generated from the experimental boiler data. The interconnections of neuro-fuzzy layers furnish these fuzzy ...

cement production is an energy-intensive process, so that the cement industry occupies a top position among other energy-consuming industries. among the equipment used in cement industries, boilers are one of the energy-consuming equipment. boilers are among the common heating equipment in industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities. in this paper, the performance of thermal oil boiler...

Fouling and slagging are some difficulties for the development of biomass as energy potential and to achieve the targets of renewable energy sources utilization. The proper technique to analyze the influence of fouling in a biomass boiler is to monitorize the evolution of heat absorption in heat transfer equipment. Traditional equation-based monitoring techniques have problems to tackle with th...
