This article introduces new efficient algorithms for two problems: sampling conditional on vertex degrees in unweighted graphs, and conditional on vertex strengths in weighted graphs. The resulting conditional distributions provide the basis for exact tests on social networks and two-way contingency tables. The algorithms are able to sample conditi...
We compared the ability of commercial and non-commercial, phenotypic and genotypic rapid drug susceptibility tests (DSTs) to detect rifampicin resistance (RR)-conferring 'disputed' mutations frequently missed by Mycobacterium Growth Indicator Tube (MGIT), namely L430P, D435Y, L452P, and I491F. Strains with mutation S450L served as positive control ...
The analysis of the biomass of larch (genus Larix spp.) trees on the total component composition based on regression equations having the additive biomass structure. Two trends of changes in the tree biomass structure are revealed: due to the mean January temperature and due to the mean annual precipitation. It was shown for the first time that bot...
In this contribution, optical emission spectroscopy is evaluated and thoroughly analysed as a diagnostic to characterize plasmas in and in contact with liquids. One of the specific properties of plasmas in and in contact with liquids is the strong emission of OH(A-X) and of hydrogen lines. As an example a 600 ns pulsed dc excited discharge in Ar, H...
Credit scoring is one of the most successful applications of quantitative analysis that helps organizations decide whether or not to grant credit to consumers who apply to them. However, standard credit risk models based on binary classifying approaches appear to have missed several important time-varying factors and censoring information. This pap...

This report presents the InfoVis Toolkit, designed to support the creation, extension and integration of advanced 2D Information Visualization components into interactive Java Swing applications. The InfoVis Toolkit provides specific data structures to achieve a fast action/feedback loop required by dynamic queries. It comes with a large set of com...
A knowledge of the mechanical properties comprising deformation and low-temperature behavior is essential for ensuring the long-term durability of road surface bonds made of mastic asphalt. Improvements in these properties resulting from the use of Trinidad-Epure and polymer-modified bonding agents can be offset by long dwell times in the mixing bo...
