provided that the cellular transcriptional response to frames encode proteins required for sterol metabodisruption of different steps in the same pathway is lism, cell wall function, mitochondrial respiration, or similar, and that there are sufficiently unique transcripprotein synthesis. We also

are complex and highly specific to a particular energy function, graph cuts have seen limited application to date. In this paper, we give a characterization of the energy functions that can be minimized by graph cuts. Our results are restricted to functions of binary variables. However, our work generalizes

We define and discuss several notions of potential functions for games in strategic form. We characterize games that have a potential function, and we present a variety of applications.

Distinctions have been proposed between systems of reasoning for centuries. This article distills properties shared by many of these distinctions and characterizes the resulting systems in light of recent findings and theoretical developments. One system is associative because its computations

in genome-wide expression experiments can be interpreted as indications of the status of cellular processes. Also, coexpression of genes of known function with poorly characterized or novel genes may provide a simple means of gaining leads to the functions of many genes for which information

The spatial receptive fields of simple cells in mammalian striate cortex have been reasonably well described physiologically and can be characterized as being localized, oriented, and ban@ass, comparable with the basis functions of wavelet transforms. Previously, we have shown that these receptive

- the light field. This function completely characterizes the flow of light through unobstructed space in a static scene with fixed illumination. We describe a

, monotone linear complementarity, and convex programming over sets that can be characterized by self-concordant barrier functions.

Today's wireless networks are characterized by a fixed spectrum assignment policy. However, a large portion of the assigned spectrum is used sporadically and geographical variations in the utilization of assigned spectrum ranges from 15% to 85% with a high variance in time. The limited

We show that various inverse problems in signal recovery can be formulated as the generic problem of minimizing the sum of two convex functions with certain regularity properties. This formulation makes it possible to derive existence, uniqueness, characterization, and stability results in a
