In indexing of, and pattern matching on, DNA and text sequences, it is often important to represent all factors of a sequence. One efficient, compact representation is the factor oracle (FO). At the same time, any classical deterministic finite automaton (DFA) can be transformed to a so-called failure one (FDFA), which may use failure transitions to replace multiple symbol transitions, potentia...

Abstract The catastrophic failure of coal under super-critical stresses and mining-induced disturbance is becoming one major safety risks underground mining. Research the pattern o...

Objective: Hypertension is a major risk factor for stroke, renal failure, and heart failure globally. This trend of complications has been seen even among our rural and urban dwellers in the tropics. This study aims at determining the prevalence and pattern of hypertension and body mass index (BMI) in six rural communities in Southern Nigeria.Methods: Adult participants, aged 18-80 years ...

An image-based deep learning framework is developed in this paper to predict damage and failure microstructure-dependent composite materials. The work motivated by the complexity computational cost of high-fidelity simulations such proposed predicts post-failure full-field stress distribution crack pattern two-dimensional representations composites based on geometry microstructures. material in...

In this paper, changes in sequences pattern describing damage-sensitive features of an object which undergoes a failure mode are recognized using an immune algorithm. A frequency response change is an effect for various failure modes occurrence. The objective of this paper is to present immune algorithm for pattern recognition which can discover dependencies between failure mode and effect freq...

Complex Event Processing (CEP) is an emerging enabling technology to achieve relevant situational knowledge from distributed systems in real-time or almost realtime. It gains more and more attention due to the industry hype and momentum regarding situation-aware computing and service-orientation. Support for CEP is considered to become a critical success factor for many businesses, especially r...

heart failure is common in patients with chronic renal disease, either as a complication of renal failure or from shared risk factors, or is the major cause of death in patients on dialysis. at present, end stage renal disease (esrd) patients who have systolic heart failure are considered high-risk for surgery; and nephrologists and cardiologists are reluctant to refer these patients for kidney...

We observed breathing pattern abnormalities and arterial oxygen desaturation in patients with stable congestive heart failure during overnight polysomnography. To determine whether congestive heart failure was the reason for these abnormalities, we then studied six additional patients before and after treatment of heart failure. Breathing was more abnormal (153 +/- 87 episodes/night) during dec...
