Bacteriophage Enumeration and Detection Methods

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Application of phages as alternative antimicrobials to combat pathogenic bacteria and their association to a healthy gut microbiome has prompted a need for precise methods for detection and enumeration of phage particles.

EBTM: An Enumeration-Based Thresholding Method for Degraded Circular Dot Segmentation [PDF]

open access: yesSensors
Circular dots are widely used in various measurement applications due to their inherent symmetry, ease of detection, and scalability. However, when degraded by factors such as specular highlights, low contrast, strong noise, or friction damage ...

Enumerating Finitary Processes. [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy (Basel)
We show how to efficiently enumerate a class of finite-memory stochastic processes using the causal representation of ϵ-machines. We characterize ϵ-machines in the language of automata theory and adapt a recent algorithm for generating accessible deterministic finite automata, pruning this over-large class down to that of ϵ-machines. As an application,

HUGE: An Efficient and Scalable Subgraph Enumeration System [PDF]

open access: yesSIGMOD Conference, 2021
Subgraph enumeration is a fundamental problem in graph analytics, which aims to find all instances of a given query graph on a large data graph. In this paper, we propose a system called HUGE to efficiently process subgraph enumeration at scale in the ...

Viability droplet digital polymerase chain reaction accurately enumerates probiotics and provides insight into damage experienced during storage

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Probiotics are typically enumerated by agar plate counting (PC) techniques. PC has several limitations including poor specificity, high variability, inability to enumerate dead cells, viable but non-culturable cells and cells in complex matrices ...

Counting the Undercounted: Enumerating Rural Homelessness in Canada

open access: yesInternational Journal on Homelessness, 2022
Until recently, homelessness in Canada was largely considered to be an urban phenomenon. This assumption has been reinforced by homelessness interventions that primarily focus on urban areas.

Enumeration of irredundant forests [PDF]

open access: yesTheoretical Computer Science, 2022
Reverse search is a convenient method for enumerating structured objects, that can be used both to address theoretical issues and to solve data mining problems. This method has already been successfully developed to handle unordered trees. If the literature proposes solutions to enumerate singletons of trees, we study in this article a more general ...

Deep Reinforcement Learning for Join Order Enumeration [PDF]

open access: yesaiDM@SIGMOD, 2018
Join order selection plays a significant role in query performance. However, modern query optimizers typically employ static join order enumeration algorithms that do not incorporate feedback about the quality of the resulting plan.

Implication and comparative study of Chinese and foreign examination method standards on mold and yeast enumeration in food

open access: yesZhongguo shipin weisheng zazhi, 2023
Molds and yeasts are common fungi that cause food contamination, and are also used as indicators to evaluate the quality of food hygiene. China has been conducting contamination surveillance of molds and yeasts in food since 1984, and has greatly ...
