TL;DR: The Ribosomal Database Project (RDP-II), previously described by Maidak et al. (1997), is now hosted by the Center for Microbial Ecology at Michigan State University and will provide more rapid updating of data, better data accuracy and increased user access.

TL;DR: The Ribosomal Database Project (RDP-II), previously described by Maidak et al., continued during the past year to add new rRNA sequences to the aligned data and to improve the analysis commands.

TL;DR: The feature extraction method has been applied for both image segmentation as well as histogram generation applications - two distinct approaches to content based image retrieval (CBIR), showing better identification of objects in an image.

TL;DR: This paper compares two commonly used distance measures in vector models, namely, Euclidean distance (EUD) and cosine angle distance (CAD), for nearest neighbor (NN) queries in high dimensional data spaces and shows that CAD works no worse than EUD.

TL;DR: The authors' performance analysis of SPAH on grid graphs showed that it significantly reduces the search space over existing methods and Experimental results show that inter query shortest path problem provides more opportunity for scalable parallelism than the intra query shortest paths problem.
