We present the first nontrivial algorithm for approximate pattern matching on compressed text. The format we choose is the Ziv-Lempel family. Given a text of length u compressed into length n, and a pattern of length m, we report all the R occurrences of the pattern in ...

Abstract The class of all languages can be seen as a distributive lattice with respect to a preorder defined by letter-to-letter morphisms. Maximal dense intervals in the lattice are investigated. The results are based on a construction that builds a new language, so-ca...

Abstract Web services are currently used by organizations to share their knowledge over the network and facilitate business to-business collaboration. However, combining Web services to satisfy user requests is a complex process. Workflow patterns are widely used for Web...

Abstract Introduction Case reports have been a long held tradition within the surgical literature. Reporting guidelines can improve transparency and reporting quality. However, recent consensus-based guidelines for case reports (CARE) are not surgically focused. Our obj...

Abstract Powder bed fusion is a laser additive manufacturing (LAM) technology which is used to manufacture parts layer-wise from powdered metallic materials. The technology has advanced vastly in the recent years and current systems can be used to manufacture functional...

Abstract Leaders’ self-perception is one key factor when drawing an illustration of a university leader. In this research, leaders’ perceptions of themselves as leaders were studied. In total, 13 university leaders from Finland and the United States were asked how they ...

AbstractWe present a method for size reduction of two-way multitape automata. Our algorithm applies local transformations that change the order in which transitions concerning different tapes occur in the automaton graph, and merge suitable states into a single state. O...

Abstract We investigated the potential endocrine disruptive effect of prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) through maternal diet, by measuring anogenital distance in newborns and young children. We included 231 mothers and their newborns measured at...

We demonstrate that Sprouty genes 1, 2 and 4 are expressed in several developing organs of the craniofacial area and trunk, including the brain, cochlea, nasal organs, teeth, salivary gland, lungs, digestive tract, kidneys and limb buds. In organs such as the semicircul...
