'Data Mining' is a way of extracting data or uncovering hidden patterns of information from databases. So, there is a need to prevent the "inference rules" from being disclosed such that the more secure data sets cannot be identified from non-sensitive attributes. This can be done through removing/adding certain item sets in the transactions (Sanitization). The purpose is to...

From Galactic binary sources, to extragalactic magnetized neutron stars, to long-duration GRBs without associated supernovae, the types of sources we now believe capable of producing bursts of gamma-rays continues to grow apace. With this emergent diversity comes the recognition that the traditional (and newly formulated) high-energy observables used for identifying sub-classes does not provide...

Heteroduplex mobility analysis (HMA) was used to genotype hepatitis C viruses (HCV) with PCR fragments derived from the 5' untranslated region (5'-UTR) or the NS5b region. HCV 5'-UTR fragments were amplified from 296 serum samples by use of a combined reverse transcription-PCR assay, and the genotypes of isolates were determined by sequencing. HCV genotype distributions in Australia were 39% fo...
