Improving in one aspect of a task can undermine performance in another, but how such opposing demands play out in single cells and impact on fitness is mostly unknown. Here we study budding yeast in dynamic environments of hyperosmotic stress and show how the corresponding signalling network increases cellular survival both by assigning the requirements of high response speed and high response ...

The first part of this tutorial, dedicated to large-scale image retrieval, will first introduce the typical use-cases and the datasets used for evaluation of image search when considering an unsupervised framework. We will present different classes of techniques considering different trade-offs with respect to efficiency and search quality. Starting with the most costly but precise patch-based ...

Data reusability has become a distinct characteristic of scientific, commercial, and administrative practices nowadays. However, an unlimited careless reuse data may lead to privacy breaches unfair impacts on individuals vulnerable groups. content adaption is key aspect preserving fairness. Often, such affects utility adversely. Further, the interaction between protection fairness can be subjec...

although it is said that developing countries generally face financial difficulties, it is important to note that financial burden of not meeting mental needs of cancer patients and their families might be more than that of providing psycho-oncology care. furthermore, cancer charities and other community resources and organizations can play important roles in compliance with codified and transp...

In this paper, we extend previous reference-dependence newsvendor research by incorporating both consumer trade-offs and government subsidies to evaluate the relevant influences on the optimal electric vehicle (EV) production decisions. We present the properties of the model, derive the closed-form solutions for the model given the relevant constraints, and use numerical experiments to illustra...

Stream ciphers are an important class of symmetric cryptographic algorithms. The eSTREAM project contributed significantly to the recent increase of activity in this field. In this paper, we present a survey of the eSTREAM project. We also review recent time/memory/data and time/memory/key trade-offs relevant for the generic attacks on stream ciphers.

As aspect-oriented programming techniques move into mainstream use, it is likely that more software developers will be modeling systems with aspect-oriented features using the Unified Modeling Language. And with the Object Management Group considering revised standards for UML 2.0, it is an appropriate time to consider UML standards for aspect-oriented elements. This paper considers how aspect-...

Microgrids operating on renewable energy resources have potential for powering rural areas located far from existing grid infrastructures. These small power systems typically host a hybrid system of diverse architecture and size. An effective integration energies requires careful design. Sizing methodologies often lack the consideration reliability this aspect is limited to adequacy. There exis...
