Dynamic Code Selection Method for Content Transfer in Deep Space Network
… This new protocol, termed as dynamic code selection method (DCSM), is compared with two other methods: turbo based <em>genie</em> method (upper bound of DCSM performance) assuming that the channel condition is perfectly known in advance and a <em>static</em> method in which a fixed turbo …

A Pairwise Feature Selection Method For Gene Data Using Information Gain
… distribution. Our experiment combines the TDP methodology with information gain (ig) to achieve an effective feature set. To illustrate the effectiveness of TDP with ig, we applied this method to two breast cancer datasets (Wang et al., 2005 and Van't Veer et al., 2002). The result from these …

Analysis of FokI Cleavage Resistance Observed in DNA Sequences Generated via the Combinatorial Selection Method, REPSA
… in many applications including the combinatorial selection method, REPSA. FokI employment in the REPSA procedure has demonstrated the tendency to select for an unmodified sequence that possesses the recognition site yet is refractory to cleavage by the enzyme. Sequencing of the cleavage resistant …
