Background: Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene is a highly polymorphic region. HLA typing is required to match patients and donors for transplantation; therefore, development of HLA registries is necessary for finding HLA match donors. HLA system is highly informative, and numerous studies have been conducted on HLA allele distribution in different populations. Methods: In this study,...

A recent publication introduced a Visual Crypto (VC) system, based on the polarisation of light. This VC system has good resolution, contrast and colour properties. Mathematically, the VC system is described by the XOR operation (modulo two addition). In this paper we investigate Threshold Visual Secret Sharing schemes associated to XOR-based VC systems. Firstly, we show that n out of n schemes...

In this paper, the ability of high-order flux reconstruction numerical schemes to perform accurate and stable computations of compressible turbulent flows on coarsemeshes is investigated. Twonew flux reconstruction schemes, which are optimized for wave dissipation and dispersion properties, are compared to the nodal discontinuous Galerkin and spectral difference methods recovered via the energy...

In this paper, we investigate the ability of high-order Flux Reconstruction (FR) numerical schemes to perform accurate and stable computations of compressible turbulent flows on coarse meshes. Two new FR schemes, which are optimized for wave dissipation and dispersion properties, are compared to the nodal Discontinuous Galerkin and Spectral Difference methods recovered via the Energy-Stable FR ...

We study fully dynamic online selection problems in an adversarial/stochastic setting that includes Bayesian selection, prophet inequalities, posted price mechanisms, and stochastic probing subject to combinatorial constraints. In the classical ``incremental'' version of problem, selected elements remain active until end input sequence. On other hand, stay for a limited time interval, then leav...

In this paper, we design a new class of central compact schemes based on the cell-centered compact schemes of Lele [S.K. Lele, Compact finite difference schemes with spectral-like resolution, J. Comput. Phys. 103 (1992) 16-42]. These schemes equate a weighted sum of the nodal derivatives of a smooth function to a weighted sum of the function on both the grid points (cell boundaries) and the cel...

In this article, we describe a new method of extracting information from signals, called functional dissipation, that proves to be very effective for enhancing classification of high resolution, texture-rich data. Our algorithm bypasses to some extent the need to have very specialized feature extraction techniques, and can potentially be used as an intermediate, feature enhancement step in any ...
