UK report calls for protection of genetic privacy

DNA gathered from a used coffee mug could lead to serious breaches of a person's genetic privacy. The UK government's Human Genetics Commission now recommends making theft of genetic information a criminal offence, writes Michael Gross.

A simplistic approach to structural dysplasia assessment: description and validation.

The purpose of this study was to formulate a simplistic method of assessing human structural dysplasia and to validate a classification system that would objectively categorize the type and extent of such dysplasia through the use of indices. Anthropometric measurements were taken from a sample of 222 male college students, length/breadth ratios were formulated, and upper/lower body classificat...

Simplistic Universal Coding.

A conceptually simple coding method may be described as follows. The source sequence is parsed into xed length blocks and a list of these blocks is placed in a dictionary. In the lossless case, the dictionary is transmitted and each successive block is encoded by giving its dictionary location. In the lossy case, the smallest collection of blocks such that every member of the dictionary is with...

A Simplistic Approach to Reactive Multi-Robot Navigation in

Multi-agent control is a very promising area of robotics. In applications for which it is difficult or impossible for humans to intervene, the utilization of multi-agent robot groups is indispensable. This paper presents a novel approach to reactive multi-agent control that is quite practical and elegant in its simplicity. The fundamental idea upon which this approach is based is that a multi-r...
