In this work, we address investment decisions in production systems by using real options. As is standard in literature, the stochastic variable is assumed to be normally distribu...
Background: Several problems exist with current methods used to align DNA sequences for comparative sequence analysis. Most dynamic programming algorithms assume that conserved se...
