Extreme Ultra-Violet Spectroscopy of the Lower Solar Atmosphere During Solar Flares

The extreme ultraviolet portion of the solar spectrum contains a wealth of diagnostic tools for probing the lower solar atmosphere in response to an injection of energy, particularly during the impulsive phase of solar flares. These include temperature and density sensitive line ratios, Doppler shifted emission lines and nonthermal broadening, abundance measurements, differential emission measure profiles, and continuum temperatures and energetics, among others. In this paper I shall review some of the advances made in recent years using these techniques, focusing primarily on studies that have utilized data from Hinode/EIS and SDO/EVE, while also providing some historical background and a summary of future spectroscopic instrumentation.Comment: 34 pages, 8 figures.

Rapid Homology Search with Two-Stage Extension and Daughter Seeds

Using a seed to rapidly "hit" possible homologies for further examination is a common practice to speed up homology search in molecular sequences. It has been shown that a collection of higher weight seeds have better sensitivity than a single lower weight seed at the same speed. However, huge memory requirements diminish the advantages of high weight seeds. This paper describes a twostage extension method, which simulates high weight seeds with modest memory requirements. The paper also proposes the use of so-called daughter seeds, which is an extension of the previously studied vector seed idea. Daughter seeds, especially when combined with the two-stage extension, provide the flexibility to maximize the independence between the seeds, which is a well-known criterion for maximizing sensitivity. Some other practical techniques to reduce memory usage are also discussed in the paper
