Constructing biological pathways by a two-step counting approach. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Networks are widely used in biology to represent the relationships between genes and gene functions. In Boolean biological models, it is mainly assumed that there are two states to represent a gene: on-state and off-state.

Design and Validation of a Minimal Complexity Algorithm for Stair Step Counting
Computers, 2020 Wearable sensors play a significant role for monitoring the functional ability of the elderly and in general, promoting active ageing. One of the relevant variables to be tracked is the number of stair steps (single stair steps) performed daily, which is
