Applications and statistics for multiple high-scoring segments in molecular sequences.

Applications and statistics for multiple high-scoring segments in molecular sequences.

Score-based measures of molecular-sequence features provide versatile aids for the study of proteins and DNA. They are used by many sequence data base search programs, as well as for identifying distinctive properties of single sequences. For any such measure, it is important to know what can be expected to occur purely by chance. The statistical distribution of high-scoring segments has been d...

Computing Maximum-Scoring Segments Optimally

Given a sequence of length n, the problem studied in this paper is to find a set of k disjoint subsequences of consecutive elements such that the total sum of all elements in the set is maximized. This problem arises in the analysis of DNA sequences. The previous best known algorithm requires Θ(nα(n, n)) time in the worst case, where α(n, n) is the inverse Ackermann function. We present a linea...

passivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading

this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...
