Markov chain Monte Carlo MCMC algorithms have revolutionized Bayesian practice In their simplest form i e when parameters are updated one at a time they are however often slow to converge when applied to high dimensional statistical models A remedy for this problem is to block the parameters into groups which are then updated simultaneously using either a Gibbs or Metropolis Hastings step In th...

An update to Volker Grimm and colleagues' Overview, Design concepts and Details (ODD) protocol for documenting individual and agent based models (I/ABM) has recently been published in Ecological Modelling. This renames the 'State variables and scales' element to 'Entities, state variables and scales', and the 'Input' element to 'Input data', introduces two new Design concepts ('Basic principles...

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) by contrast of other networks have more vulnerability because of having nature properties such as dynamic topology and no infrastructure. Therefore, a considerable challenge for these networks, is a method expansion that to be able to specify anomalies with high accuracy at network dynamic topology alternation. In this paper, two methods proposed for dynamic anom...

The article is a theoretical framework on becoming fully equipped and licensed gestural signer. establishment of complete mind in every single human individual assumed to follow phasing procedure these phases are explained the article.

The backend database system is often the performance bottleneck when running web applications. A common approach to scale the database component is query result caching, but it faces the challenge of maintaining a high cache hit rate while efficiently ensuring cache consistency as the database is updated. In this paper we introduce Ferdinand, the first proxy-based cooperative query result cache...

The quinolones trap DNA gyrase and DNA topoisomerase IV on DNA as complexes in which the DNA is broken but constrained by protein. Early studies suggested that drug binding occurs largely along helix-4 of the GyrA (gyrase) and ParC (topoisomerase IV) proteins. However, recent X-ray crystallography shows drug intercalating between the -1 and +1 nucleotides of cut DNA, with only one end of the dr...
