ComiR is a web tool for combinatorial microRNA (miRNA) target prediction. Given an messenger RNA (mRNA) in human, mouse, fly or worm genomes, ComiR computes the potential of being targeted by a set of miRNAs, each of which can have zero, one or more targets on its 3'untranslated region. In determining the regulatory potential of an mRNA from a set of miRNAs, ComiR uses user-provided miRNA expre...

UNLABELLED The drug classification scheme of the World Health Organization (WHO) [Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC)-code] connects chemical classification and therapeutic approach. It is generally accepted that compounds with similar physicochemical properties exhibit similar biological activity. If this hypothesis holds true for drugs, then the ATC-code, the putative medical indication are...

Adapting radiation delivery to respiratory motion is made possible through corrective action based on real-time feedback of target position during respiration. The advantage of this approach lies with its ability to allow tighter margins around the target while simultaneously following its motion. A significant hurdle to the successful implementation of real-time target-tracking-based radiation...

to evaluate and predict component-based software security, a two-dimensional model of software security is proposed by stochastic petri net in this paper. in this approach, the software security is modeled by graphical presentation ability of petri nets, and the quantitative prediction is provided by the evaluation capability of stochastic petri net and the computing power of markov chain. each...

abstract accurate prediction of hourly minimum temperature is required for various crop models which simulate photosynthesis and transpiration. such data can be used for crop protection and reducing the crops injuries due to freezing as well. our objective of this study is employing trigonometric and pattern recognition (k-nn) approaches to evaluate their potential in prediction of hourly tempe...

Abstract Introduction: Estrogen receptor-positive (ER-positive) breast cancer is a subgroup of breast tumors that is more likely to respond to hormone therapy. ER-positive and ER- negative breast cancers tend to show different patterns of metastasis because of different signaling cascade and genes that are activated by estrogen response. Genetic factors can contribute to high rates of metastas...
