We describe the WebCLEF 2008 task. Similarly to the 2007 edition of WebCLEF, the 2008 edition implements a multilingual "information synthesis" task, where, for a given t...
— This paper investigates the problem of secret key transmissions for an arbitrary Alice-Bob pair in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)-based networks. We develop a realistic QKDbase...
Background: Population structure analysis is important to genetic association studies and evolutionary investigations. Parametric approaches, e.g. STRUCTURE and L-POP, usually ass...
Background: Time-course microarray experiments are being increasingly used to characterize dynamic biological processes. In these experiments, the goal is to identify genes differ...
