Motivation and Objectives A major goal in biomedicine is to determine the underlying genetic causes of human diseases in order to better understand them and support their prevention and treatment. However, the genetic bases of many multifactorial diseases are still unclear, and high-throughput technologies typically report hundred or thousands of genes associated to a disease of interest. In th...

Database Management Systems (DBMS) are at the core of many modern applications, ranging from e-Commerce (e.g. Amazon.COM), web applications (e.g. flickr), online banking, telephony, and even traditional brick-and-mortar retailers. DBMS can be a significant source of delay in these applications, making DBMS the performance bottleneck: users can spend orders of magnitude more time waiting for the...

neuroeconomics that has merged from the interaction of neuroscience, economics and psychology, is. promising new approach to understanding human behavior in economic analysis, especially as an selector (that is the fundamental issue is economics). this article illustrate the advantages of neuroeconomics and with focus on methodology of economics and ability of this branch of economic for theori...

We examine how structural systems can yield observed variables instrumental in identifying and estimating causal e¤ects. We provide an exhaustive characterization of how structures determine exogeneity and exclusion restrictions that yield moment conditions supporting identi…cation. This provides a comprehensive framework for constructing instruments and control variables. We introduce notions ...

IEEE 802.11e is the enhanced version of the IEEE 802.11 MAC dedicated to provide Quality of Service of wireless network. It supports QoS by the service differentiation and prioritization mechanism. Data traffic receives different priority based on QoS requirements. Fundamentally, applications are divided into four Access Categories (AC). Each AC has its own buffer queue and behaves as an indepe...

Software maintenance is one of the major activities of the software development life cycle. Due to the time and cost constraint it is not possible to perform exhaustive regression testing. Thus, there is a need for a technique that selects and prioritizes the effective and important test cases so that the testing effort is reduced. In an analogous study we have proposed a new variable based alg...

The proposed technique has been found efficient on all of the total arrival rate events, which is clearly visible from the proposed technique performance at 1.04 seconds against 1.08 seconds (PWRR-MD), 1.15 seconds (PWRR-AV), 1.17 seconds (PWRR-nMD) and 1.2 seconds (FIFO) on the event rate of 0.2, which is repeated on all of the total arrival rate events. The minimum response delay of 1.04 seco...

This paper presents a practical supervised band selection procedure for airborne imaging spectrometers and Maximum Likelihood classification (MLC) as data application. The output band set is optimal in band location, width and number regarding the MLC accuracy of the classification task. The supervised algorithm is based on feature selection and requires a user-defined class set. For two given ...
