Microfluidics-based biochips offer a promising platform for massively parallel DNA analysis, automated drug discovery, and real-time biomolecular recognition. Current techniques f...
Abstract--The goal of this work is twofold. First, we demonstrate that an advantage can be gained by using local cosine bases over wavelets to encode images that contain periodic t...
Water systems often allow efficient water uses via water reuse and/or recirculation. Defining the network layout connecting water-using processes is a complex problem which involv...
We discuss a di cult optimization problem on a chess-board, requiring equal numbers of black and white queens to be placed on the board so that the white queens cannot attack the b...
In this paper, we show how an efficient ant based algorithm, called API and initially designed to perform real parameter optimization, can be adapted to the difficult problem of Hi...
