Response to: DNA identification by pedigree likelihood ratio accommodating population substructure and mutations
(2011-03-25)
Abstract Mutation models are important in many areas of genetics including forensics. This letter criticizes the model of the paper 'DNA identification by pedigree likelihood ratio accommodating population substructure and ...
Designing digital storytelling for rural African communities
(2011)
This thesis situates digital storytelling in rural African communities to enable rural people to record and share their stories and to express their imaginations digitally. We explore the role of design and the methods and ...
An efficient management system for large digital object collections
(2011)
Cultures evolve continuously, and it is therefore vital to track and record these changes, and most importantly of all, manage the resulting huge mass of data such as images, video clips, audio recordings and documents. ...
Graphics processing unit accelerated coarse-grained protein-protein docking
(2011)
In this work, we describe a Graphics processing unit (GPU) implementation of the Kim-Hummer coarse-grained model for protein docking simulations, using a Replica Exchange Monte-Carlo (REMC) method. Our highly parallel ...
MOOS-IvP Autonomy Tools Users Manual Release 4.2.1
(2011-07-28)
This document describes 19 MOOS-IvP autonomy tools. uHelmScope provides a run-time scoping window into the state of an active IvP Helm executing its mission. pMarineViewer is a geo-based GUI tool for rendering marine ...
An Overview of MOOS-IvP and a Users Guide to the IvP Helm - Release 4.2.1
(2011-08-03)
This document describes the IvP Helm - an Open Source behavior-based autonomy application for unmanned vehicles. IvP is short for interval programming - a technique for representing and solving multi-objective optimizations ...
A hypothesis-based algorithm for planning and control in non-Gaussian belief spaces
(2011-08-27)
We consider the partially observable control problem where it is potentially necessary to perform complex information-gathering operations in order to localize state. One approach to solving these problems is to create ...
Tragedy of the routing table: An analysis of collective action amongst Internet network operators
(2011-08-06)
This thesis analyzes and discusses the effectiveness of social efforts to achieve collective action amongst Internet network operators in order to manage the growth of the Internet routing table. The size and rate of growth ...
Learning and disrupting invariance in visual recognition
(2011-09-10)
Learning by temporal association rules such as Foldiak's trace rule is an attractive hypothesis that explains the development of invariance in visual recognition. Consistent with these rules, several recent experiments ...
Nonparametric Sparsity and Regularization
(2011-09-26)
In this work we are interested in the problems of supervised learning and variable selection when the input-output dependence is described by a nonlinear function depending on a few variables. Our goal is to consider a ...
