On the structure of the inverse kinematics map of a fragment of protein backbone
Loop closure in proteins requires computing the values of the inverse kinematics (IK) map for a backbone fragment with 2n 6 torsional degrees of freedom (dofs). It occurs in a va...

A queueing approach to optimal resource replication in wireless sensor networks
We develop a queueing model for analyzing resource replication strategies in wireless sensor networks. The model can be used to minimize either the total transmission rate of the ...
