Open AccessBalanced incomplete factorization preconditioner with pivoting
In this work we study pivoting strategies for the preconditioner presented in Bru (SIAM J Sci Comput 30(5):2302–2318, 2008) which computes the LU factorization of a matrix A. This preconditioner is based on the I...

Updating preconditioners for modified least squares problems
In this paper, we analyze how to update incomplete Cholesky preconditioners to solve least squares problems using iterative methods when the set of linear relations is updated with some new information, a new ...

Low-rank updates of balanced incomplete factorization preconditioners
Let A x = b be a large and sparse system of linear equations where A is a nonsingular matrix. An approximate solution is frequently obtained by applying preconditioned iterations. Consider...

Open AccessATP5H/KCTD2 locus is associated with Alzheimer's disease risk
To identify loci associated with Alzheimer disease, we conducted a three-stage analysis using existing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and genoty** in a new sample. In Stage I, all suggestive single-n...

Intelligent Monitoring System for Bird Behavior Study
Until now, the best way to obtain relevant information about the behaviour of animals is capturing them. However, the procedure to capture individuals cause them stress and introduces an effect on the measurem...

QTL Analysis for Root Protein in a Backcross Family of Cassava Derived from Manihot esculenta ssp flabellifolia
Root protein content of elite cassava is very low, largely due to breeder’s selection for other agronomic traits mainly fresh weight yield and disease resistance. Increased protein content in the root of cassa...
