Many bacteria carry gene complexes that code for a toxin-antidote pair, e.g. colicin systems. Such gene complexes can be advantageous for its host by killing competitor bacteria wh...
The traditional algorithm of Stockmeyer for area minimization of slicing
oorplans has time (and space) complexity O(n2 ) in the worst case, or O(nlogn) for balanced slicing. For ...
Existing array region representation techniques are sensitive to the complexity of array subscripts. In general, these techniques are very accurate and efficient for simple subscr...
—Many companies now routinely run massive data analysis jobs – expressed in some scripting language – on large clusters of low-end servers. Many analysis scripts are complex ...
Scheduling query execution plans is a particularly complex problem in hierarchical parallel systems, where each site consists of a collection of local time-shared (e.g., CPU(s) or...
