Modular targeting is promising in drug research at the network level, but it is challenging to quantificationally identify the precise on-modules. Based on a proposed Modudaoism (MD), we defined conserved MD (MDc) and varied MD (MDv) to quantitatively evaluate the conformational and energy variations of modules, and thereby identify the conserved and discrepant allosteric modules (AMs). Compare...

Two types of scalabilities exist in current scalable video streaming schemes: (1) nested scalability, in which different representations (i.e., descriptions) of each frame are generated using layered scalable coding and have to be decoded in a fixed sequential order, and (2) parallel scalability, which is used in multiple description coding (MDC) where different descriptions are mutually refina...

With Asymmetric Multiple Description Coding we address the transmission case where there is a plethora of communication paths between sender and receiver, all with a different bandwidth and different levels of reliability (in terms of packet loss rate). For this scenario we have several possibilities for coding and transmission at our disposal, namely Round-Robin transmission, Layered Coding, T...

There is a steadily increasing need for autonomous systems that must be able to function with minimal human intervention to detect and isolate faults, and recover from such faults. In this paper we present a novel hybrid Model based and Data Clustering (MDC) architecture for fault monitoring and diagnosis, which is suitable for complex dynamic systems with continuous and discrete variables. The...

In [1] we proposed a balanced Multiple Description Coding (MDC) scheme based on the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). This MDC includes an efficient bit allocation procedure that dispatches the source image redundancy between different channels. The amount of redundancy is controlled according to the Bit Error Rate of the different channels. Here, we propose to extend this approach for low bit ...

We have previously shown that very few rotavirus (RV)-specific T cells that secrete gamma interferon circulate in recently infected and seropositive adults and children. Here, we have studied the interaction of RV with myeloid immature (IDC) and mature dendritic cells (MDC) in vitro. RV did not induce cell death of IDC or MDC and induced maturation of between 12 and 48% of IDC. Nonetheless, RV ...

Digital technology offers an opportunity for increased productivity in public organizations, but organizations struggle to gain revenue from their investments, known as the paradox. This study examines role and relations of digital adoption (DA), deliberate learning (DL), managerial dynamic capability (MDC) on improving a transformation (DT) process Norwegian courts. The results show that DL ha...

A 3D printed solution flow type micro droplet cell (Sf-MDC) was attached to an optical microscope, making it possible switch between the lens and Sf-MDC at same observation/measurement area. Using this setup, precipitates in Al-Si alloy were investigated. Open circuit potential measurements potentiodynamic conducted various surface areas of alloy. The precipitate area ratio affected open potent...

One of the criteria for inferring a species tree from a collection of gene trees, when gene tree incongruence is assumed to be due to incomplete lineage sorting (ILS), is Minimize Deep Coalescence (MDC). Exact algorithms for inferring the species tree from rooted, binary trees under MDC were recently introduced. Nevertheless, in phylogenetic analyses of biological data sets, estimated gene tree...

It is expected that video streaming services will play an important role in 4G wireless systems. Since video communication has typically large and varying bandwidth requirements, high spectrum utilization techniques are needed to support high quality video. In this paper we propose a combination of Cooperative Header Compression (COHC) method with Multiple Description Coding (MDC), which introd...
