Background: Protein identification based on mass spectrometry (MS) has previously been performed using peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) or tandem MS (MS/MS) database searching. H...
Existing autocalibration techniques use numerical optimization algorithms that are prone to the problem of local minima. To address this problem, we have developed a method where ...
Automatically discovering common visual patterns in images is very challenging due to the uncertainties in the visual appearances of such spatial patterns and the enormous computa...

Most image retrieval systems perform a linear search over the database to find the closest match to a query. However, databases usually exhibit a natural grouping structure into c...
This paper proposes and evaluates Prefetching B+ -Trees pB+ -Trees, which use prefetching to accelerate two important operations on B+ -Tree indices: searches and range scans. To ...
