We consider the problem of finding checkerboard copulas for modeling multivariate distributions.A checkerboard copula is a distribution with a corresponding density defined almost everywhere by a step function on an m-uniform subdivision of the unit hyper-cube.We develop optimization procedures for finding copulas defined by multiply-stochastic mat
Abstract Sulforaphane (SFN), an isothiocyanate derived from cruciferous vegetables, induces potent anti-proliferative effects in prostate cancer cells.One mechanism that may contribute to the anti-proliferative effects Stencil and Cookie Cutter Sets of SFN is the modulation of epigenetic marks, such as inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzym
Various vaccinia virus (VACV) strains were applied during the smallpox vaccination campaign to eradicate the variola virus worldwide.After the eradication of smallpox, FERMENTED WHEATGRASS VACV gained popularity as a viral vector thanks to increasing innovations in genetic engineering and vaccine technology.Some VACV strains have been extensively u
Abstract With the advent of the smart grid era, the electrical grid is becoming a complex network in which different technologies coexist to bring benefits to both customers and operators.This paper presents a methodology for analyzing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), providing knowledge about the performance and efficiency of energy systems, foc
