Weighted distributed hash tables [PDF]

Proceedings of the seventeenth annual ACM symposium on Parallelism in algorithms and architectures, 2005
We present two methods for weighted consistent hashing also known as weighted distributed hash tables. The first method, called Linear Method, combines the standard consistent hasing introduced by Karger et al. [9] with a linear weighted distance measure.

Why Bonuses Promote Deviant Behaviors: A Self‐Determination Theory Perspective

Human Resource Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bonuses are notoriously used to motivate workers. How effective are they at doing so, and might there be unintended consequences? We investigated the effectiveness of bonuses based on game profitability on the motivation of video game developers by examining specific bonus characteristics that align with advice derived from expectancy theory ...

Space-efficient computation of k-mer dictionaries for large values of k

Algorithms for Molecular Biology
Computing k-mer frequencies in a collection of reads is a common procedure in many genomic applications. Several state-of-the-art k-mer counters rely on hash tables to carry out this task but they are often optimised for small k as a hash table keeping ...

A hitchhiker's guide to single‐cell epigenomics: Methods and applications for cancer research

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Abstract Genetic mutations are well known to influence tumorigenesis, tumor progression, treatment response and relapse, but the role of epigenetic variation in cancer progression is still largely unexplored. The lack of epigenetic understanding in cancer evolution is in part due to the limited availability of methods to examine such a heterogeneous ...

De Novo Whole Genome Assemblies of Unusual Case‐Making Caddisflies (Trichoptera) Highlight Genomic Convergence in the Composition of the Major Silk Gene (h‐fibroin)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
The major silk gene, h‐fibroin, was annotated in high‐quality genomes of two unusual case‐making Trichoptera. H‐Fibroin of Limnocentropus insolitus shows a similar amino acid composition to other case‐making species, while the amino acid composition of h‐fibroin of Phryganopsyche brunnea resembles that of retreat‐making species.

Update of Long‐Term Outcomes After Cricotracheal Resection for Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Cricotracheal resection is associated with a low rate of recurrence. However, recurrence may occur later than expected after an average of 13.8 years. ABSTRACT Objectives Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) is a rare disease in which patients develop dyspnea from recurrent tracheal granulation scar.

Fast Structural Alignment of Biomolecules Using a Hash Table, N-Grams and String Descriptors

Algorithms, 2009
This work presents a generalized approach for the fast structural alignment of thousands of macromolecular structures. The method uses string representations of a macromolecular structure and a hash table that stores n-grams of a certain size for ...

Quantitative macromolecular proton fraction imaging using pulsed spin‐lock

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Recent studies have shown that spin‐lock MRI can simplify quantitative magnetization transfer (MT) by eliminating its dependency on water pool parameters, removing the need for a T1 map in macromolecular proton fraction (MPF) quantification. However, its application is often limited by the requirement for long radiofrequency (RF) pulse

Exact Methods for the Split Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem With Two‐Dimensional Loading Constraints

Networks, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Split Delivery Vehicle Routing Problem with Two‐dimensional Loading Constraints (2L‐SDVRP) integrates vehicle routing, split delivery, and two‐dimensional packing constraints. In the 2L‐SDVRP, customers can be served by multiple vehicles, and their demands consist of different two‐dimensional rectangular items that must be packed in the ...
