2010 conference paper

Simplified self-adapting skip lists

Intelligent data engineering and automated learning - ideal 2010, 6283, 126–136.

By: J. Pittard n & A. Tharp n

TL;DR: The Simplified Self-Adapting Skip List, a practical new extension of the Skip List data structure, is designed for use with data that exhibit bias, that is, a nonuniform distribution of queries to set elements, and adapts itself to a consistently nearly-optimal configuration, improving search efficiency and speed.

2010 article

Toward a Visualization of DNA Sequences

ADVANCES IN COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY, Vol. 680, pp. 419–435.

By: D. Cox n & A. Tharp*

author keywords: DNA; Visualization; Repeats; Patterns; Sequence Analysis
MeSH headings : Algorithms; Computational Biology; Computer Graphics; DNA / chemistry; DNA / genetics; Entropy; Genomics / statistics & numerical data; Humans; Pattern Recognition, Automated / statistics & numerical data; Pattern Recognition, Visual; Sequence Analysis, DNA / statistics & numerical data; Tandem Repeat Sequences
TL;DR: This paper exploits one of these cues, proximity, to segment DNA into visibly distinct regions and structures and demonstrates how an additional cue, color, can be used to visualize the Shannon entropy associated with different structures. (via Semantic Scholar)

2009 article

Shift Hashing for Memory-Constrained Applications

2009 IEEE 33RD INTERNATIONAL COMPUTER SOFTWARE AND APPLICATIONS CONFERENCE, VOLS 1 AND 2, pp. 531–536.

By: S. Deodhar n & A. Tharp n

author keywords: Hashing; Embedded Systems; Real-time Systems; Tridirectional Computed Chaining; Bit Shifting; Data Access Methods; Minimal Response Time
TL;DR: This paper presents a new hashing method, Shift Hashing, which is an improvement over existing hashing schemes such as Tridirectional Computed Chaining, which reduce the direct access time by providing multi-way branching of individual probe chains. (via Semantic Scholar)
