Novel Algorithms for Trajectory Segmentation based on Interpolation-based Change Detection Strategies
(2020-10-15)An enormous number of mobility datasets for tracking animals, vehicles, vessels, individuals and moving objects are currently available, and this number continues to grow. Mobility data has diverse applications, including ... -
A NOVEL AND EFFICIENT METHOD FOR DIGITAL MICROSCOPY OF CELLS IN CULTURE
(2023-08-31)Common implementations of standard microscopy suffer from several disadvantages. The apparatus required is often inconveniently large and expensive, requires trained operators, provides only a limited field of view (FOV) ... -
A NOVEL AND GENERIC METHOD FOR EXAMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENERGY SECURITY AND DIVERSITY OF AN ENERGY SYSTEM
(2013-12-16)In an energy system, diversity of supply—that is, reliance on a variety of mutually disparate energy suppliers and their energy supplies—is seen by many researchers and policymakers as an important component of energy ... -
NOVEL APPLICATIONS OF RANDOM FOREST FOR EXPLORING POPULATION STRUCTURE OF ATLANTIC SALMON (SALMO SALAR) IN LABRADOR, CANADA
(2017-08-28)The detection of population-genetic structure is useful for understanding patterns of gene flow, population distribution, and wildlife management and conservation. In this work, we examine approaches for inferring the ... -
Novel Approaches to Marker Gene Representation Learning Using Trained Tokenizers and Jointly Trained Transformer Models
(2021-08-19)Next-generation DNA sequencing technologies have made marker-gene DNA sequence data widely available. Analysis of microbiome data has many challenges, including sparsity, high cardinality, and intra-study dependencies ... -
Novel Approaches to Seafloor Mapping in the Northwest Atlantic
(2023-09-18)Although oceans cover nearly three-quarters of the earth, studies estimate that only a fraction of the seafloor has been mapped at a resolution higher than 1km2. On the continental shelf and in nearshore regions, there ... -
NOVEL APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY IN THE RAT HIPPOCAMPUS
(2017-08-03)Synaptic plasticity refers to changes in the strength of connections between neurons in response to previous activity. Its experimental correlates, i.e., long-term-potentiation (LTP), a persistent increase in synaptic ... -
