Skinner, W., Flannigan, M., Shabber, A.
An empirical scheme for predicting the meteorological conditions that lead to summer forest fire severity for Canada using the multivariate singular value decomposition (SVD) has been developed for the 1953-2007 period. The levels and sources of predictive skill have been estimated using a...

ReAS: Recovery of Ancestral Sequences for Transposable Elements from the Unassembled Reads of a Whole Genome Shotgun
Download2005
Ye, C., Wang, J., Li, S., Li, R., Wong, G.K.S., Ye, J., Yang, H., Han, Y., Yu, J.
We describe an algorithm, ReAS, to recover ancestral sequences for transposable elements (TEs) from the unassembled reads of a whole genome shotgun. The main assumptions are that these TEs must exist at high copy numbers across the genome and must not be so old that they are no longer...

The mitochondrial genome of the hexactinellid sponge Aphrocallistes vastus: Evidence for programmed translational frameshifting
Download2008
Rosengarten, R.D., Sperling, E.A., Leys, S.P., Dellaporta, S.L., Moreno, M.A.
Background: Mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) of numerous sponges have been sequenced as part of an ongoing effort to resolve the class-level phylogeny of the Porifera, as well as to place the various lower metazoan groups on the animal-kingdom tree. Most recently, the partial mtDNA of two glass...

What can we learn from the discourse around text tools? More than might be expected. The development of text analysis tools has been a feature of computing in the humanities since IBM supported Father Busa's production of the Index Thomisticus (Tasman 1957). Despite the importance of tools in the...

Background. Tools and resources (TRs) can help to prevent obesity in children, particularly in settings that are accessible to families and well-aligned with chronic disease prevention, such as primary care. To date, little is known about the TRs that primary care providers (PCPs) currently use...

The control of powered prosthetic arms has been researched for over 50 years, yet prosthetic control remains an open problem, not just from a research perspective, but from a clinical perspective as well. Significant advances have been made in the manufacture of highly functional prosthetic...
