Copy number variations in the genome of the Qatari population by Khalid A. Fakhro (3158862)

“…The availability of genome sequence was leveraged to identify tagging SNPs in high LD with common deletions in this population, enabling their imputation from genotyping experiments in the future. Genotyping intensities and genome sequencing data from 97 Qataris were analyzed with four different algorithms and integrated to discover 16,660 high confidence CNV regions (CNVRs) in the total population, affecting ~28 Mb in the median Qatari genome. …”

H.264/AVC to HEVC Video Transcoder Based on Dynamic Thresholding and Content Modeling by Peixoto, Eduardo

“…This paper proposes and evaluates several transcoding algorithms from the H.264/AVC to the HEVC format. In particular, a novel transcoding architecture, in which the first frames of the sequence are used to compute the parameters so that the transcoder can 'learn' the mapping for that particular sequence, is proposed. …”

Single-Cell Transcriptome Analysis Revealed Heterogeneity and Identified Novel Therapeutic Targets for Breast Cancer Subtypes by Radhakrishnan Vishnubalaji (3563306)

“…In the current study, we employed computational algorithms to decipher the cellular composition of estrogen receptor-positive (ER⁺), HER2⁺, ER⁺HER2⁺, and triple-negative BC (TNBC) subtypes from a total of 49,899 single cells’ publicly available transcriptomic data derived from 26 BC patients. …”

Common weaving approach in mainstream languages for software security hardening by Alhadidi, Dima

“…GIMPLE weaving accompanied by a common aspect-oriented language (1) allows security experts providing security solutions using this common language, (2) lets developers focus on the main functionality of programs by relieving them from the burden of security issues, (3) unifies the matching and the weaving processes for mainstream languages, and (4) facilitates introducing new security features in AOP languages. …”
