Background: Insertions and deletions (indels) represent a common type of sequence variations, which are less studied and pose many important biological questions. Recent research ...
Searching very large collections can be costly in both computation and storage. To reduce this cost, recent research has focused on reducing the size (pruning) of the inverted ind...
Visual attention selectively enhances the neural response to a task-relevant item. But what happens when an item outside the primary focus of attention is also relevant to the tas...
Identity-based decryption is an alternative to identity-based encryption, in which Alice encrypts a symmetric key for Bob under a trusted authority’s public key. Alice sends Bob...
Existing concurrency platforms for dynamic multithreading do not provide repeatable parallel random-number generators. This paper proposes that a mechanism called pedigrees be bui...
