In these notes we discuss the earlier sections of a paper of Suri and Vassilvitskii, with the great title “Counting Triangles and the Curse of the Last Reducer” [2]. It is a good example of an applied paper with interesting algorithmic content. Consider an unweighted, undirected graph G = (V,E). G could be anything, but the authors are motivated by graphs derived from social networks. For examp...

A comprehensive review of the fundamental rheology of dilute disperse systems is presented. The exact rheological constitutive equations based on rigorous single-particle mechanics are discussed for a variety of disperse systems. The different types of inclusions (disperse phase) considered are: rigid-solid spherical particles with and without electric charge, rigid-porous spherical particles, ...

Disperse fine equiaxed α-Al2O3 nanoparticles with narrow size distribution are important materials in nanotechnology and nanomaterials, but syntheses of disperse fine equiaxed α-Al2O3 nanoparticles usually result in fine γ-Al2O3 nanoparticles or large α-Al2O3 nanoparticles larger than 15 nm. α-Al2O3 has a higher surface energy than γ-Al2O3 and becomes thermodynamically not stable with respect t...

The fiber, dye and dyebath variables which affect the batch dyeing of polyester with disperse dyes are discussed, as are some of the chemical properties of disperse dyes which influence the normal conditions of dye application, stripping and reduction clearing. Discussion of the continuous dyeing of polyester is deferred to a iater chapter on dyeing polyester/cellulosic

SUMMARY Selector probes enable the amplification of many selected regions of the genome in multiplex. Disperse is a software pipeline that automates the procedure of designing selector probes for exon resequencing applications.
