Development of the Arabidopsis Small RNA Project (ASRP) Database, which provides information and tools for the analysis of microRNA, endogenous siRNA and other small RNA-related features, has been driven by the introduction of high-throughput sequencing technology. To accommodate the demands of increased data, numerous improvements and updates have been made to ASRP, including new ways to acces...

In the context of a Spatial Data Infrastructure ontologies are used to denote a formally represented knowledge that is mainly used to improve data sharing and information retrieval. This work describes a web service called Web Ontology Service, based on the OGC Web Service Architecture specification, whose purpose is to facilitate the management and use of ontologies in a Spatial Data Infrastru...

⎯ A URC (Ubiquitous Robotic Companion) is a new concept for a network-based service robot. It allows the service robot to extend its functions and services by utilizing external sensor networks and remote computing servers. It also provides the robot’s services at any time and any place. The URC requires not only the hardware infrastructure such as ubiquitous networks or sensor networks and hig...

The article presents the Giellatekno & Divvun language technology resources, more specifically the effort to utilise open-source tools to improve the build infrastructure, and the solutions to help adapt to best practices for software development. The article especially discusses how the infrastructure has been remade to cope with an increasing number of languages without incurring extra overhe...

Dynamic optimization of computer programs can dramatically improve their performance on a variety of applications. This paper presents an efficient infrastructure for dynamic recompilation that can support a wide range of dynamic optimizations including profile-driven optimizations. The infrastructure allows any section of code to be optimized and regenerated on-the-fly, even code for currently...

Surface water quality deterioration is a serious problem in many rapidly urbanizing catchments in developing countries. There is currently a lack of studies that quantify water quality variation (deterioration or otherwise) due to both socio-economic and infrastructure development in a catchment. This paper investigates the causes of water quality changes over the rapid urbanization period of 1...

Under the pressure exerted by COVID-19 and geopolitical conflicts, establishing how to enhance urban economic resilience cope with external risks has become focus of many studies. This study considers “Broadband China” program as a quasi-natural experiment uses panel data from 106 Chinese cities between 2011 2020 explore influence digital infrastructure on through difference-in-differences (DID...
