The TruSeq RNA and DNA Library Preparation Kits provide a simple, cost-effective solution for generating libraries from total RNA or genomic DNA that are compatible with Illumina’s unparalleled sequencing output. Master-mixed reagents eliminate the majority of pipetting steps and reduce the amount of clean-up, as compared to previous methods, minimizing hands-on time. New automation-friendly wo...

We consider the problem of designing (or augmenting) an electric power system such that it satisfies the N-k-ε survivability criterion while minimizing total cost. The survivability criterion requires that at least (1− ε) fraction of the total demand can still be met even if any k (or fewer) of the system components fail. We formulate this problem, taking into account both transmission and gene...

Many construction projects contain several identical or similar units, such as floors in multistory buildings, houses in housing developments, sections of pipelines or highways. Repetitive processes arise from the subdivision of a generalized construction process into specific activities associated with particular units. In many cases it is possible to perform individual processes (repeated in ...

A new serial cost sharing rule, called mixed serial cost sharing, is defined on the class of cost functions which equal a sum of an increasing convex and increasing concave function. This rule is based on a particular decomposition principle known as complementary-slackness decomposition and it coincides with the original serial rule of Moulin and Shenker (1992) [Moulin, H., Shenker, S., 1992. ...

the hotelling's  control chart, is the most widely used multivariate procedure for monitoring  two or more related quality characteristics, but it’s power lacks the desired performance in detecting small to moderate shifts. recently, the variable sampling intervals (vsi) control scheme in which the length of successive sampling intervals is determined upon the preceding values has been pro...

Ordinal classification of imbalanced data is a challenging problem that appears in many real world applications. The challenge to simultaneously consider the order classes and class imbalance, which can notably improve performance metrics. Bayesian formulation allows deal with these two characteristics jointly: It takes into account prior probability each decision costs, be used include imbalan...
