MODEL ABC-XYZ FOR EVALUATING REGIONAL FOOD SECURITY

Protein identification with deep learning: from abc to xyz

Proteins are the main workhorses of biological functions in a cell, a tissue, or an organism. Identification and quantification of proteins in a given sample, e.g. a cell type under normal/disease conditions, are fundamental tasks for the understanding of human health and disease. In this paper, we present DeepNovo, a deep learning-based tool to address the problem of protein identification fro...

Algebraic Bethe Ansatz for XYZ Gaudin model

The eigenvectors of the Hamiltionians of the XYZ Gaudin model are constructed by means of the algebraic Bethe Ansatz. The construction is is based on the quasi-classical limit of the corresponding results for the inhomogeneous higher spin eight vertex model. EKS acknowledges the support of the Department of Mathematical Sciences, the University of Tokyo, where the most part of the work was done...

Enhancing African Food Security through Improved Regional Marketing Systems for Food Staples

Africa’s hunger hot spots are well known. Drought-prone areas, such as the Horn of Africa and the Sahel, confront frequent crop failure and reliance on pastoral and migratory coping systems. Conflict and civil strife compound these problems in the Horn, the Congo Basin and in pockets across West Africa. The resulting hunger hot spots have earned Africa an unenviable world-wide reputation as a c...

Regional Network on AIDS, Livelihoods and Food Security

Food and health considerations in Asia-Pacific regional security.

Recent dramatic increases in food prices in much of the world have caused much concern, and have even resulted in some public protests and riots. This is easy to understand given the large percentages of incomes that the poor devote to food purchases. Many commentators have predicted that food supplies in the Asia-Pacific region will become much more limited in the future as the result of popul...
