So far, we have seen streaming algorithms for two important variants of Lp-norm estimation problem: L0-norm estimation (the distinct elements problem) and L2-norm estimation. We also noted that the L1norm estimation problem (at least, when we do not allow element deletions) corresponds to just computing the length of the stream and thus can be trivially solved in O(log n) space. Therefore, the ...

That is, we want the hyperplane corresponding to (w, θ) to separate the positive examples from the negative ones. As we already argued previously, wlog we can constrain ourselves to the case when θ = 0 (i.e., the hyperplane passes through the origin) and there are only positive examples (i.e., l = 1, for all j). Last time we presented a simple algorithm for this problem called Perceptron algori...

Although the application of biodegradative genetically engineered micro organisms (GEMs) for bioremediation is very promising, the risks of their release should be assessed before their introduction into the environment. Lux-marked Ralstonia eutropha H850Lr (formerly Alcaligenes eutrophus H850Lr) was introduced into sterile and non-sterile soil microcosms at matric potentials ?2.11, ?30, ?750, ...

This paper presents a novel architecture of an indigenously developed system in Trinidad and Tobago for Economic Generation and Load Dispatch and its successful implementation. Typical local practices and policy regulations for power industry are discussed along with the power generation and load profiles. The developed system ix-GEMS has different components and several features to assist the ...

Genetically engineered microorganisms (GEMs) have shown potential for bioremediation applications in soil, groundwater, and activated sludge environments, exhibiting enhanced degradative capabilities encompassing a wide range of chemical contaminants. However, the vast majority of studies pertaining to genetically engineered microbial bioremediation are supported by laboratory-based experimenta...
