One of the most striking features of climate change in Asia is the change of the monsoon system, bringing new precipitation patterns to China. This has resulted in more flooding resulting from severe precipitation in southern China, and more droughts in the northern part of the country. Starting in the early 1980s, the Chinese government undertook research projects to better understand the risk...

The Gene Ontology Annotation (GOA) project at the EBI (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/goa) provides high-quality electronic and manual associations (annotations) of Gene Ontology (GO) terms to UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) entries. Annotations created by the project are collated with annotations from external databases to provide an extensive, publicly available GO annotation resource. Currently cove...

This paper seeks to solve the long-term transmission expansion planning problem in power systems more effectively by reducing solution search space and computational effort. The proposed methodology finds adds cutting planes based on structural insights about bus angle differences along paths. Two lemmas a theorem are which formally establish validity of these onto underlying mathematical formu...

In molecular biology, comparison of multiple Protein Protein Interaction (PPI) networks to extract subnetworks that are conserved during evolution across di↵erent species is helpful for studying complex cellular machinery. Most e↵orts produce promising results in creating alignments that show large regions of biological or topological similarity between the PPI networks of various species, but ...
