Microarray technology is now routinely used to monitor genome-wide expression profiles. However, current microarray imaging and analysis packages typically require manual intervention and assumptions on alignments. Unfortunately, limitations and assumptions are typically undisclosed and methods are not published. To facilitate exploration of image data, we developed SignalViewer. This paper pre...

Thermal management of future heterogeneous electronic packages with extreme heat fluxes relies on effective spreading in the package lid. Intra-lid integration vapor chambers is a promising strategy for simultaneous dissipation large total loads and localized high-flux hot spots. However, conventional comprising single core require relatively thick evaporator wicks to prevent dry out at high lo...

Assessment should apply to established as well as to emerging technologies, to procedures as well as to machines, and to packages of tools and for clinical problems. Packages of tools include intensive care units and transplant surgery. Clinical problems requiring a variety of high technology responses include coronary artery disease, renal failure, and cancer in various locations. In practice ...

In this article I argue that the organizational involvement of large scale information technology packages, such as those known as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), has important implications that go far beyond the acknowledged effects of keeping the organizational operations accountable and integrated across functions and production sites. My claim is that ERP packages are predicated upon an...

High throughput sequencing technologies are supplanting microarrays as the preferred technology for detecting and quantifying differential gene expression. The raw data produced by the a technique known as RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq), consists of integer counts of reverse transcribed cDNA fragment reads mapped onto each gene or transcript isoform in a reference genome or transcriptome. Many softwa...

This paper provides a comparison between Earthquake Loss Estimation (ELE) software packages and their application using an “Open Source Procedure for Assessment of Loss using Global Earthquake Modelling software” (OPAL). The OPAL procedure was created to provide a framework for optimisation of a Global Earthquake Modelling process through: 1. overview of current and new components of earthquake...

To use traditional algorithms and software packages on Grid system, traditional algorithms and software packages, in general, have to be modified. In this paper we focus on standards and methodologies for Grid platform within the context of the Remote Sensing Data Processing Grid Node (RSDPGN) that implements a loose-coupling parallel structure for orchestrating traditional remote sensing algor...

This paper reviews and compares two R packages ``FPV" and ``Fuzzy.p.value".These packages are designed for testing hypotheses in a fuzzy environment using a fuzzy $p$-value based approach.In fact, the packages ``FPV" and ``Fuzzy.p.value" propose some useful functions for testing hypotheses when the data / hypotheses are fuzzy rather than crisp.The proposed methods and function...
