A note on the generalized min-sum set cover problem

open access: yes, 2011
In this paper, we consider the generalized min-sum set cover problem, introduced by Azar, Gamzu, and Yin. Bansal, Gupta, and Krishnaswamy give a 485-approximation algorithm for the problem. We are able to alter their algorithm and analysis to obtain a 28-

LDAcoop: Integrating non‐linear population dynamics into the analysis of clonogenic growth in vitro

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Limiting dilution assays (LDAs) quantify clonogenic growth by seeding serial dilutions of cells and scoring wells for colony formation. The fraction of negative wells is plotted against cells seeded and analyzed using the non‐linear modeling of LDAcoop.

Approximation algorithms for a sequencing problem with a biased bipartite structure

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2016
Given a family of m + 1 sets of n vertices in a metric space, a bi-level optimization problem to be considered in this paper asks to find a minimum cost repetitive walk with a prescribed terminal vertex.

Constrained Submodular Maximization: Beyond 1/e

open access: yes, 2016
In this work, we present a new algorithm for maximizing a non-monotone submodular function subject to a general constraint. Our algorithm finds an approximate fractional solution for maximizing the multilinear extension of the function over a down-closed

Infrared laser sampling of low volumes combined with shotgun lipidomics reveals lipid markers in palatine tonsil carcinoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Nanosecond infrared laser (NIRL) low‐volume sampling combined with shotgun lipidomics uncovers distinct lipidome alterations in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) of the palatine tonsil. Several lipid species consistently differentiate tumor from healthy tissue, highlighting their potential as diagnostic markers.

An improved Alpha approximation algorithm for time-series surface soil moisture inversion from Sentinel-1 SAR data

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Accurate measurement of soil moisture content has significant scientific value and social benefits for studying global or regional water cycle mechanisms, developing climate and hydrological models, and advancing sustainable agricultural development. The

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve

An adaptive greedy repair operator in a genetic algorithm for the minimum vertex cover problem

open access: yesAIMS Mathematics
A genetic algorithm (GA) evolves the population of candidate solutions to a particular problem through crossover and mutation operators. Since a newly generated solution may not satisfy the constraints of the given problem, it is common to penalize ...

Centrality of Trees for Capacitated k-Center [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
There is a large discrepancy in our understanding of uncapacitated and capacitated versions of network location problems. This is perhaps best illustrated by the classical k-center problem: there is a simple tight 2-approximation algorithm for the ...
