At any time humans need accurate information to solve different problems. For example, how to perform a task, what happens in the news, what the hundreds of tweets say, etc. On the other hand, electronic information has ...

This thesis, entitled €High Performance Computing for solving large sparse systems. Optical Diffraction Tomography as a case of study€ investigates the computational issues related to the resolution of linear systems o...

Digital technologies have revolutionized studying, analyzing, and interpreting human culture, history, and society. Digital humanities (DH) combine traditional disciplines such as literature, history, and philosophy with...

Numerical solutions for signal processing are described in this work as acontribution to study of echo detection methods for ionospheric sounder design. The ionospheric sounder is a high frequency radar for geophysical a...

The Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA) software has matured to contain a large collection of methods and tools of computational molecular evolution. Here, we describe new additions that make MEGA a more comp...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the mechanisms of microbial interaction between the oral pathogens Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Growth kinetics for the two micro-organisms, cultured individual...

Having developed multiobjective optimization algorithms using evolutionary optimization methods and demonstrated their niche on various practical problems involving mostly two and three objectives, there is now a growing...

BACKGROUND: Gene set enrichment (GSE) analysis is a popular framework for condensing information from gene expression profiles into a pathway or signature summary. The strengths of this approach over single gene analysis...

BACKGROUND: For the last 25 years species delimitation in prokaryotes (Archaea and Bacteria) was to a large extent based on DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH), a tedious lab procedure designed in the early 1970s that served its...

Genome-wide association studies, which typically report regression coefficients summarizing the associations of many genetic variants with various traits, are potentially a powerful source of data for Mendelian randomiza...

MOTIVATION: Next-generation sequencing technologies generate millions of short sequence reads, which are usually aligned to a reference genome. In many applications, the key information required for downstream analysis i...
