background: ischemic heart disease (ihd) is the main cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and a considerable part of these patients attend to emergency departments, which increases the burden to these busy departments. the aim of this study was to develop a prediction model enabling prediction of all cause emergency department (ed) visits in patients with documented coronary stenosis in ...

Current plant genome sequencing projects have called for development of novel and powerful high throughput tools for timely annotating the subcellular location of uncharacterized plant proteins. In view of this, an ensemble classifier, Plant-PLoc, formed by fusing many basic individual classifiers, has been developed for large-scale subcellular location prediction for plant proteins. Each of th...

Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) and climate simulations have been intimately connected with progress in supercomputing since the first numerical forecast wasmade about 65 years ago. The biggest challenge to state-of-the-art computational NWP arises today from its own software productivity shortfall. The application software at the heart of most NWP services is ill-equipped to efficiently ada...

An interscale predictive wavelet coding (IPWC) scheme is proposed in this paper. The image is encoded top-down, from the coarsest scale to the finest scale. At each scale, the current scale coefficients are predicted from the coded coefficients at the coarser scale and the prediction residue is encoded. The interscale prediction is based on MAP estimation with Huber Markov random field statisti...
