Background: PCR has the potential to detect and precisely quantify specific DNA sequences, but it is not yet often used as a fully quantitative method. A number of data collection...
Borrowing from concepts in expander graphs, we study the expansion properties of real-world, complex networks (e.g. social networks, unstructured peer-to-peer or P2P networks) and...
We introduce the notion of "non-malleable codes" which relaxes the notion of error-correction and errordetection. Informally, a code is non-malleable if the message cont...

Data confidentiality is a major concern in database systems. Encryption is a useful tool for protecting the confidentiality of sensitive data. However, when data is encrypted, perf...
We develop a variant of the Nelder-Mead (NM) simplex search procedure for stochastic simulation optimization that is designed to avoid many of the weaknesses encumbering such dire...
