RUM (Reasoning with Uncertainty Module), is an integrated software tool based on a KEE, a frame system implemented in an object oriented language. RUM's architecture is composed of three layers: representation, inference, and control. The representation layer is based on frame-like data structures that capture the uncertainty information used in the inference layer and the uncertainty meta-info...

multiprocessor, shared memory, high availability In this report, we discuss the recovery of memory and processes on the platform of a shared-memory DSM system. We divide the problem into recovery of unaffected memory (RUM), and recovery of affected processes (RAP). We point out that specially designed faulttolerant, non-volatile memory is neither sufficient nor necessary to solve the problem of...

MOTIVATION A critical task in high-throughput sequencing is aligning millions of short reads to a reference genome. Alignment is especially complicated for RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) because of RNA splicing. A number of RNA-Seq algorithms are available, and claim to align reads with high accuracy and efficiency while detecting splice junctions. RNA-Seq data are discrete in nature; therefore, with...

The Hebrides of Scotland constitute a unique set island environments with long history human settlement and agriculture. Earthworm community surveys were undertaken in selected agricultural landscapes Inner (Isle Rum) Outer (North South Uist) Hebrides. On North Uist, earthworms sampled from areas Blackland (organic, anthropic, acidic soils) on Uist machair (sandy, fertile, low-lying grassy past...
