The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) was established to enhance the accessibility of Web resources for people with disabilities. In this paper we argue that although WAI’s advocacy work has been very successful, the WAI approach is flawed. Rather than WAI’s emphasis on adoption of technical guidelines, the authors argue that the priority should be for a user-focussed approach, which embeds be...

Transcriptional activation in eukaryotes is often accompanied by alterations to chromatin structure at specific regulatory sites while other genomic regions may remain unchanged. In this study, we have examined the correlation between expression and chromatin accessibility of the human CR2 gene in a panel of cell lines (U937, REH, Ramos, and Raji) using the CHART-PCR assay with the accessibilit...

Previous mesh compression techniques provide nice properties such as high compression ratio, progressive decoding, and out-of-core processing. However, none of them supports the random accessibility in decoding, which enables the details of any specific part to be available without decoding other parts. This paper introduces the random accessibility to mesh compression and proposes an effective...
