Numerical Simulation of Reactive Flow

Reactive flows encompass a broad range of physical phenomena, interacting over many different time and space scales. Such flows occur in combustion, chemical lasers, the earth's...

Markov Chains

Markov chains are central to the understanding of random processes. This is not only because they pervade the applications of random processes, but also because one can calculat...

Training Very Deep Networks

Theoretical and empirical evidence indicates that the depth of neural networks is crucial for their success. However, training becomes more difficult as depth increases, and tra...

Mitochondrial portraits of human populations using median networks.

Abstract Analysis of variation in the hypervariable region of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has emerged as an important tool for studying human evolution and migration. However, att...

Phylogeny Estimation and Hypothesis Testing Using Maximum Likelihood

One of the strengths of the maximum likelihood method of phylogenetic estimation is the ease with which hypotheses can be formulated and tested. Maximum likelihood analysis of D...

Molecular Mechanisms of Antibody Somatic Hypermutation

Functional antibody genes are assembled by V-D-J joining and then diversified by somatic hypermutation. This hypermutation results from stepwise incorporation of single nucleoti...

Network In Network

Abstract: We propose a novel deep network structure called In Network (NIN) to enhance model discriminability for local patches within the receptive field. The conventional con...

NCBI GEO: archive for high-throughput functional genomic data

The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is the largest public repository for high-throughput gene expression data. Addition...

The impact of antenna diversity on the capacity of wireless communication systems

For a broad class of interference-dominated wireless systems including mobile, personal communications, and wireless PBX/LAN networks, the authors show that a significant increa...

Qualitative Research Methods: A Health Focus

Comparison of Bayesian and maximum-likelihood inference of population genetic parameters

Abstract Comparison of the performance and accuracy of different inference methods, such as maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference, is difficult because the inference me...
