Background: Frameshift mutations in protein-coding DNA sequences produce a drastic change in the resulting protein sequence, which prevents classic protein alignment methods from ...
In this paper we propose a fundamental approach to perform the class of Nearest Neighbor (NN) queries, the core class of queries used in many of the location-based services, withou...
—This paper presents an Improved Snake Model (ISM) effective for performing fast image segmentation. The work takes advantage of two well-known snake models of Balloon [1] and GG...
Abstract. We present the discrete beeping communication model, which assumes nodes have minimal knowledge about their environment and severely limited communication capabilities. S...
This paper describes two methods for analyzing interactions in collaborative virtual environments (CVEs): one whereby quantitative data are captured, interaction is categorized in...
