This article describes ongoing research in the RSNSR (Regelbasierte Suche in Textdatenbanken mit nichtstandardisierter Rechtschreibung, “Rule-based search in text databases with nonstandard orthography”) project. The focus of this project is making historical text documents digitally available; consequently, it examines the challenges for digitization procedures and subsequent retrieval operati...

The critical role of chitin synthases in oomycete hyphal tip growth has been established. A microtubule interacting and trafficking (MIT) domain was discovered in the chitin synthases of the oomycete model organism, Saprolegnia monoica. MIT domains have been identified in diverse proteins and may play a role in intracellular trafficking. The structure of the Saprolegnia monoica chitin synthase ...

JEL Classification: Z13 Social sanction can substitute for the rule of law, particularly in communities where there are repeat interactions and where there is full information about past actions. The expectation of finacial boycotts or social shunning provides an incentive for reducing malfeasance. We construct a rich micro panel data set of U.S. Civil War soldiers from pro-war and anti-war com...

This paper compares two different approaches to computer-aided analysis of ECG signals. ECG records are preprocessed by the wavelet transform, and the machine learning method of decision trees and fuzzy rules induction are used for classification. The wavelet transform allows good localisation of QRS complexes, P and T waves in time and amplitude. The average accuracy of detection of all events...

MIT Lincoln Laboratory has developed the Route Availability Planning Tool (RAPT), which provides automated convective weather guidance to air traffic managers of the NYC metro region. Prior studies of RAPT have shown high-accuracy guidance from forecast weather, but further refinements to prevent forecast misclassification is still desirable. An attribute set of highly correlated predictors for...

A flow invariant in quantum field theory is a quantity that does not depend on the flow connecting the UV and IR conformal fixed points. We study the flow invariance of the most general sum rule with correlators of the trace Θ of the stress tensor. In even (four and six) dimensions we recover the results known from the gravitational embedding. We derive the sum rules for the trace anomalies a a...

Electrostatic potential of electrons near the surface of static strange stars at zero temperature is studied within the frame of the MIT bag model. We find that for QCD parameters within rather wide ranges, and if the nuclear crust on the strange star is at a density leading to neutron drip, the electrostatic potential is insufficient to establish an outwardly directed electric field, which is ...

A new Internet traffic datamining technique is presented for generating frequent episode rules (FER). Adaptive base-support threshold is applied to different axis attributes in these rules. We use the rules to build anomaly-based, network intrusion detection systems (NIDS). The episode rules detect anomalous sequences of TCP, UDP, or ICMP connections. Three new pruning techniques are devised to...
