Multi-tenant DBMSs are used by Cloud providers for their DBaaS (Database-as-a-Service) products. They could be Single-node RDBMSs installed in VMs, SQL-on-Hadoop systems running on a cluster, or parallel RDBMSs with a shared-nothing or shareddisk architecture. From a Cloud provider's point of view, it is interesting to measure these systems' capabi...
Background: Single-stranded nucleic acids (ssNAs) have important biological roles and a high biotechnological potential linked to their ability to bind to numerous molecular targets. This depends on the different spatial conformations they can assume. The first level of ssNAs spatial organisation corresponds to their base pairs pattern, i.e. their ...
Amino acid substitutions on protein sequences are generally harmless, but a significant proportion of them can cause diseases. Accurately predicting the effect of these genetic variants can be crucial for clinicians, it can potentially speed up the diagnosis of patients having missense variants that are likely to lead to disease. Today, a variety o...
BackgroundThere is an urgent need to decrease humanity's environmental impacts. Cities have an important role to play considering the continuous increase in urban population at both global and urban scale (United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, et Population Division 2019). Ecodesign tools for urban projects are essential to qua...

We introduce a lightweight framework for semantic segmentation that utilizes structured classifiers as an alternative to deep learning methods. Biomedical data is known for being scarce and difficult to label. However, this framework provides a lightweight, easy-to-apply, and fast-to-train approach that can be adapted to changes in image material t...

The paper presents the statement of the problem of dynamical system „crane-load” optimal control. The acceleration period is under consideration and control must meet the minimum duration condition as well as load oscillations elimination. The objective function, which ensures the final condition satisfaction, is developed and analyzed in terms of ...
We present Pathway, a new unified data processing framework that can run workloads on both bounded and unbounded data streams. The framework was created with the original motivation of resolving challenges faced when analyzing and processing data from the physical economy, including streams of data generated by IoT and enterprise systems. These req...
This article presents the content of the competition Transformers+rnn: Algorithms to Yield Simple and Interpretable Representations (TAYSIR, the Arabic word for 'simple'), which was an on-line challenge on extracting simpler models from already trained neural networks held in Spring 2023. These neural nets were trained on sequential categorial/symb...
Designed 40 years ago, DNS is still a core component of internet: billions of DNS queries are processed each day to resolve domain names to IP addresses. Originally designed for performances and scalability, its transport protocol is unencrypted, leading to security flaws. Recently, secure protocols have emerged, but the question of their scalabili...

Enhancer promoter interaction (EPI) involves most of gene transcriptional regulation in the high eukaryotes. Predicting the EPIs from given genomic loci or DNA sequences is not a trivial task. The benchmarking work so far for EPI predictors is more or less empirical and lacks quantitative model-based comparisons, posing challenges for molecular bio...
