We study the issue of data consistency in highly-available distributed systems. Specifically, we consider a distributed system that replicates its data at multiple sites, which is prone to partitions, and which is expected to be highly available. In such a ...
The last 2 decades have witnessed a dramatic increase in the use of patent citation data in social science research. Facilitated by digitization of the patent data and increasing computing power, a community of practice has grown up that has developed meth ...
The U3 box C/D snoRNA is one key element of 90S pre-ribosome. It contains a 5' domain pairing with pre-rRNA and the U3(B/C) and U3(C'/D) motifs for U3 packaging into a unique small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein particle (snoRNP). The RNA-binding protein Snu1 ...
Waterborne diseases are among the leading causes of deaths in developing countries. The prompt intervention during an outbreak is crucial to limit the spread of an epidemic and reduce the number of casualties. The epidemiological models developed in the pa ...
Visualizing high-dimensional data has been a focus in data analysis communities for decades, which has led to the design of many algorithms, some of which are now considered references (such as t-SNE for example). In our era of overwhelming data volumes, t ...
This paper aims to provide a road map for future works related to reverse engineering field of expertise. Reverse Engineering, in a mechanical context, relates to any process working in a bottom-up fashion, namely that it goes from a lower level concept or ...
Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) number concentrations alongside with submicrometer particle number size distributions and particle chemical composition have been measured at atmospheric observatories of the Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace gases Research InfraS ...
While regional differences in life expectancy have flattened out in Switzerland, we investigate the effect of periurbanization on the geography of mortality. Using data from vital statistics and censuses, we find an increasing intra-urban differentiation o ...
Reliable estimates of mortality according to socioeconomic status play a crucial role in informing the policy debate about social inequality, social cohesion, and exclusion as well as about the reform of pension systems. Linked mortality data have become a ...
