Developing an online programme in computational biology
نویسندگان
چکیده
Much has been written about the need for continuing education and training to enable life scientists and computer scientists to manage and exploit the different types of biological data now becoming available. Here we describe the development of an online programme that combines short training courses, so that those who require an educational programme can progress to complete a formal qualification. Although this flexible approach fits the needs of course participants, it does not fit easily within the organizational structures of a campus-based university.

متن کاملAn Indoor Positioning System Based on Wi-Fi for Energy Management in Smart Buildings
To offer indoor services to occupants in the context of smart buildings, it is necessary to consider information concerning to the identity and location of the occupants. This paper proposes an indoor positioning system (IPS) based on Wi-Fi fingerprint and K-nearest neighbors (KNN) method. The positioning of a mobile device (MD) using Wi-Fi technology involves online and offline phases. In this...
متن کاملGeneration of a reduced first - level mixed integer programmimg problem
We introduce a new way of generating cutting planes of a mixed integer programme by way of taking binary variables. Four binary variables are introduced to form quartic inequalities, which results in a reduced first-level mixed integer programme. A new way of weakening the inequalities is presented. An algorithm to carryout the separation of the inequalities, which are exponential in number, is...
