DATA COMPRESSION The word data is in general used to mean the information in digital form on which computer programs operate‚ and compression means a process of removing redundancy in the data. By ’compressing data’‚ we actually mean deriving techniques or‚ more specifically‚ designing efficient algorithms to: * represent data in a less redundant fashion * remove the redundancy in data * Implement compression algorithms‚ including both compression and decompression.

Random number tables have been used in statistics for tasks such as selected random samples. This was much more effective than manually selecting the random samples (with dice‚ cards‚ etc.). Nowadays‚ tables of random numbers have been replaced by computational random number generators. Tables of random numbers have the desired properties no matter how chosen from the table: by row‚ column‚ diagonal or irregularly. The first such table was published by a student of Karl Pearson’s in 1927‚ and

Tissue Expanders A tissue expander is a device that is made from elastic silicone rubber. During the mastectomy‚ this balloon-like device is placed after the surgeon removes skin and tissue to allow for placement of the tissue expander beneath the remaining muscle and skin of the patient’s chest. The tissue expanders are inserted either empty or with a minute amount of saline in them. As time passes‚ sterile saline fluid is added to the expanders: This is accomplished by inserting a small needle

Data Preprocessing 3 Today’s real-world databases are highly susceptible to noisy‚ missing‚ and inconsistent data due to their typically huge size (often several gigabytes or more) and their likely origin from multiple‚ heterogenous sources. Low-quality data will lead to low-quality mining results. “How can the data be preprocessed in order to help improve the quality of the data and‚ consequently‚ of the mining results?

The Periodic Table By Eric Scerri 1. I just returned home from being interviewed for a new public television program on the mystery of matter and the search for the elements. It was very gratifying to see how keen the film-makers were on understanding precisely how Mendeleev arrived at his famous first periodic table of 1869. This in turn meant that I had to thoroughly review the literature on this particular historical episode‚ which will form the basis of this blog. 2. The usual version of how
