By introducing a subsampling strategy, we propose a randomized block Kaczmarz-Motzkin method for solving linear systems. Such strategy not only determines the block size, but also combines and extends two famous strategies, i.e., randomness and greed, and hence can inherit their advantages. Theoretical analysis shows…

The Smith-Waterman-Gotoh alignment algorithm is the most popular method for comparing biological sequences. Recently, Single Instruction Multiple Data methods have been used to speed up alignment. However, these algorithms have limitations like being optimized for specific scoring schemes, cannot handle large gaps, or…

Convergence of this method was studied in [14, 9, 13, 4]. For different pivot strategies, it was shown that the iterations (1.1) converge in the sense that the sequence (B(k) , k ≥ 0) converges to a diagonal matrix, while (A(k) , k ≥ 0) converges to a normal matrix Λ. If all the eigenvalues of A have different real…

Phylogenetic inference based on genomic structural variations, that manipulate the gene order and content of whole chromosomes, promises to inform a more comprehensive understanding of evolution. The first challenge in using such data, the incompleteness of available de novo assemblies, is easing as long read…

'Md. Muzakkir Hussain' 'Jamilurahman Faizi'] Blockchain technology finds widespread application across various fields due to its key features such as immutability, reduced costs, decentralization, and transparency. The security of blockchain relies on elements like hashing, digital signatures, and cryptography.…

With the increasing availability of high-quality phased haplotype data, researchers can more effectively identify detailed patterns of haplotype sharing and investigate the population genetic processes that shape them. In this work, we define block cores as genomic segments where multiple haplotype blocks overlap. We…

Nerve blocks hold an important place in medicine. They are used to help with surgeries, allowing a painless surgical procedure without requiring the patient to be on full anesthesia. They can also provide a faster recovery period and apply to almost any body part. This paper summarizes how the nerve block became a…

While the method of manual inspection reliably produces correct results at the introductory level, it can often appear untidy and unintuitive and lacks teachable depth. This paper presents a novel alternative approach designed to achieve the same outcomes as manual inspection but with enhanced clarity. It serves as…

—An effective method for suppressing intentional forks in a blockchain is the last-generated rule, which selects the most recent chain as the main chain in the event of a chain tie. This rule helps invalidate blocks that are withheld by adversaries for a certain period. However, existing last-generated rules face an…

Due to the immutability of blockchain, the integration with big-data systems creates limitations on redundancy, scalability, cost, and latency. Additionally, large amounts of invaluable data result in the waste of energy and storage resources. As a result, the demand for data deletion possibilities in blockchain has…

With the vigorous development of the art market, the management of art resources is confronted with increasingly difficult challenges, such as copyright protection, authenticity verification, and efficient storage. Currently, the digital watermarking and compression schemes applied to artworks struggle to achieve an…

The advancement of quantum computers undermines the security of classical blockchain, necessitating either a post-quantum upgrade of the existing architecture or creation of an inherently quantum blockchain. Here we propose a practically realizable model of a fully quantum blockchain based on a generalized Gram-Schmidt…

In recent years, with the rapid development of blockchain technology, the issues of storage load and data security have attracted increasing attention. Due to the immutable nature of data on the blockchain, where data can only be added and not deleted, there is a significant increase in storage pressure on blockchain…

A fully automated robotic synthesizer for the screening of amphiphilic block copolymer nanoparticle synthesis is presented. To reach this aim, block copolymer solutions are mixed in continuous flow with water, allowing for the automated variation of overall polymer concentration, mixing ratio of the water and organic…

DNA-encoded libraries (DELs) provide the means to make and screen millions of diverse compounds against a target of interest in a single experiment. However, despite producing large volumes of binding data at a relatively low cost, the DEL selection process is susceptible to noise, necessitating computational follow-up…

The human body is made up of about 37 trillion cells (adults). Each cell has its own unique role and is affected by its neighboring cells and environment. The NIH Human BioMolecular Atlas Program (HuBMAP) aims at developing a 3D atlas of human body consisting of organs, vessels, tissues to singe cells with all 3D…

While virtual libraries of synthetically accessible compounds have exploded in size to many billions, our capacity to extract valuable drug leads from these vast databases remains limited by computational resources. To overcome this, we developed SLICE SMARTS and Logic In ChEmistry), a powerful new tool designed for…
