Human behaviors: a threat for mosquito control?
Community involvement and the preventive behavior of households are considered to be at the heart of vector-control strategies. In this work, we consider a simple theoretical model that enables us to take into account human behaviors that may interfere ...

Rank join queries in NoSQL databases [PDF]
Rank (i.e., top-k) join queries play a key role in modern analytics tasks. However, despite their importance and unlike centralized settings, they have been completely overlooked in cloud NoSQL settings. We attempt to fill this gap: We contribute a suite

Update of time-invalid information in Knowledge Bases through Mobile Agents [PDF]
In this paper, we investigate the use of a mobile, autonomous agent to update knowledge bases containing statements that lose validity with time. This constitutes a key issue in terms of knowledge acquisition and representation, because dynamic data need

NBLDA: Negative Binomial Linear Discriminant Analysis for RNA-Seq Data
RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) has become a powerful technology to characterize gene expression profiles because it is more accurate and comprehensive than microarrays. Although statistical methods that have been developed for microarray data can be applied to
