The well known influence maximization problem [1] (or viral marketing through social networks) deals with selecting a few influential initial seeds to maximize the awareness of product(s) over the social network. In this paper, we introduce a novel and generalized version of the influence maximization problem that considers simultaneously the following three practical aspects: (i) Often cross-s...

background: recent interests have mainly focused on the roles of serum calcium and phosphorus and their product (ca-p product) in the development of valvular heart disease. the present study assessed the relationship between the ca-p product and the severity of valvular heart disease in end-stage renal disease (esrd) patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis. methods: this cross-sectional study ...

The literature contains several reports evaluating the abilities of deep neural networks in text transfer learning. To our knowledge, however, there have been few efforts to fully realize the potential of deep neural networks in cross-domain product review sentiment classification. In this paper, we propose a two-layer convolutional neural network (CNN) for cross-domain product review sentiment...

We have used the homobifunctional cross-linking reagent disuccinimidyl suberate (DSS) to identify proteins that are adjacent to nascent polypeptides undergoing translocations across mammalian rough ER. Translocation intermediates were assembled by supplementing cell free translations of truncated mRNAs with the signal recognition particle (SRP) and microsomal membrane vesicles. Two prominent cr...

PURPOSE To determine the levels of pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline, two mature enzymatic cross-links, and pentosidine, an advanced glycation end product (AGE) cross-link, in the human vitreous, and to investigate the correlations among the cross-links and the effects of aging and diabetes mellitus (DM) on the levels of cross-links. METHODS Forty-five vitreous samples were collected from 32...

The quality of user experience is intricately related to the users’ cultural characteristics. However, not many studies have dealt with important cultural characteristics which are closely related to user experience. The main goals of this study are to identify important cultural dimensions that are closely related to the user experience of consumer electronic products and to measure them in di...

Collaborative product development (CPD) has been widely accepted as an advanced collaboration paradigm that combines geographically distributed product development teams to develop product collaboratively and efficiently. Interoperability of cross-organizational workflows is important for CPD to facilitate the successful execution of the whole product development process across enterprises boun...
