A computationally fast measure of epistasis for 2 SNPs and a categorical phenotype
(2010)Complex diseases may be caused by interactions or combined effects between multiple genetic and environmental factors. One of the main limitations of testing for interaction between genetic loci in large whole genome studies ...

Least-cost planning sequence estimation in labelled Petri nets
(2011)This paper develops a recursive algorithm for estimating the least-cost planning sequence in a manufacturing system that is modelled by a labelled Petri net. We consider a setting where we are given a sequence of labels ...

Modeling the implications of DRAM failures and protection techniques on datacenter TCO
(IEEE Computer Society, 2015)Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is a key optimization metric for the design of a datacenter. This paper proposes, for the first time, a framework for modeling the implications of DRAM failures and DRAM error protection ...

Parametric study and cost analysis of a solar-heating-and-cooling system for detached single-family households in hot climates
(2015)A solar-heating-and-cooling (SHC) system, consisting of a flat-plate solar collector array, a hot water storage tank, and an absorption chiller unit is designed and modeled to satisfy thermal loads (space heating, domestic ...
