In the 0-extension problem, we are given a weighted graph with some nodes marked as terminals and a semimetric on the set of terminals. Our goal is to assign the rest of the nodes ...
Most computational engineering based loosely on biology uses continuous variables to represent neural activity. Yet most neurons communicate with action potentials. The engineerin...
We consider the problem of selecting a subset of p out of n sensors for the purpose of event detection, in a wireless sensor network (WSN). Occurrence or not of the event of intere...
Background: Empirical scoring functions have proven useful in protein structure modeling. Most such scoring functions depend on protein side chain conformations. However, backbone...
