In this paper we consider thek-clustering problem for a set S of n points i=(x i ) in thed-dimensional
space with variance-based errors as clustering criteria, motivated from the color …

Small RNAs ranging in size between 18 and 30 nucleotides (nt) are found in many organisms
including yeasts, plants, and animals. Small RNAs are involved in the regulation of gene …

We present a quantum parameter estimation theory for a generalized Pauli channel Γ θ:
Script S (Bbb C d)→ Script S (Bbb C d), where the parameter θ is regarded as a coordinate …

We extend the concept of Voronoi diagram in the ordinary Euclidean geometry for n points
to the one in the Laguerre geometry for n circles in the plane, where the distance between a …

A general framework for polygonal approximation problems in various situations is given, and
solution algorithms are discussed. The problems are classified according to three criteria: (…

In cartography, computer graphics, pattern recognition, etc., we often encounter the problem
of approximating a given finer piecewise linear curve by another coarser piecewise linear …

Observations of rapid shifts in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants between generations
prompted the creation of the bottleneck theory. A prevalent hypothesis is that a massive …

Consider a collection of disjoint polygons in the plane containing a total ofn edges. We
show how to build, inO(n 2 ) time and space, a data structure from which inO(n) time we can …

We report on the results of multiepoch very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations
with VERA (VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry) of the 22 GHz H $_{2}$ O masers …

The expression pattern and function of the murine endogenous retrovirus-like (MuERV-L)
gene in mouse preimplantation embryos was investigated. MuERV-L was rapidly transcribed …
