In this paper we study the compression techniques for electrocardiogram (ECG) signals based on Block Sorting Techniques. We introduce a new and faster block transformation than the Burrows and Wheeler Transformation (BWT), and later compare them for ECG data compression. We show that our algorithm yields better compression gain than the Burrows and Wheeler’s algorithm (BWA), Gzip and the Shorte...

Brood size and other life-history traits of females affect male investment in mating. Female Uca tetragonon, producing relatively small broods, were attracted to the burrows of males for underground mating (UM) while carrying eggs. Most UM females released larvae and ovulated new broods during the pairing, averaging 3.9 days. While a female was incubating one brood, another brood was developing...

In 1994, Burrows and Wheeler [5] developed a data compression algorithm which performs significantly better than Lempel-Ziv based algorithms. Since then, a lot of work has been done in order to improve their algorithm, which is based on a reversible transformation of the input string, called BWT (the Burrows-Wheeler transformation). In this paper, we propose a compression scheme based on BWT, M...
