eukocytes have a better chance of sticking to neighboring cells with the right ligands if they rotate on their way by, based on results from Dwir et al. (page 649). Flowing leukocytes are captured via L-selectin interactions with carbohydrate ligands on vessel walls and subsets of other leukocytes. L-selectin is an unusual adhesive molecule—shear stress improves its adherance to ligands, wherea...

Sashka’s Technique applied to pFBP The key step in Sashka and Russel’s technique to prove lower bounds for pFBT was to prove that for each path p of length l, PrI [S(I) ⊢ PSp | I ⊢ PIp] ≤ 1 f . We extend this to a technique for pFBP. The key step is to prove that for each node v at depth l, PrI [S(I) ⊢ PSv | I ⊢ PIv] ≤ 1 f . My intuition was that PrI [S(I) ⊢ PSv | I ⊢ PIv] ≤ maxp∈v PrI [S(I) ⊢ ...

The BioSamples Database aggregates information for reference samples (such as cell lines or stock strains), as well as samples for which data exist in one of the EBI's other data resources (e.g. ArrayExpress [2], the European Nucleotide Archive [3], PRIDE [4]). Samples are described with a set of annotations. These annotations can be linked to ontology [5] (or controlled vocabulary [6]) terms, ...

In this paper, we present an improved version of recently proposed Quick Hypervolume algorithm for calculating exact hypervolume of the space dominated by a set of d-dimensional points. This value is often used as a quality indicator in multiobjective evolutionary algorithms and other multiobjective metaheuristics and the efficiency of calculating this indicator is of crucial importance especia...

UniChem is a simple, large-scale, non-redundant database of pointers between chemical structure identifiers. Its purpose is to optimise the efficiency with which structure-based hyperlinks are built and maintained between chemistry databases. This is particularly suitable for creating links 'on the fly' by the use of REST web services. Primarily, this service has been designed to maintain cross...

Main library for Southern Illinois University Carbondale [2] Holds more than 2.6 million volumes, 200,000 e-books, 43,000 current periodicals and serials, and over 3.6 million microform units Provides access to I-Share [3] (the statewide automated library system) and to a comprehensive array of databases and other electronic data files Offers a wide range of services, including Reference assist...

What is Europe PMC? Europe PMC [2] is a global, free, biomedical literature repository, providing access to worldwide life sciences articles, books, patents and clinical guidelines. The resource currently contains over 32 million abstracts and more than 4 million full-text articles (see Figure 1). A subset of the full-text information corpus is the open-access literature that can be downloaded ...

Many data mining algorithms make use of the well-known Inclusion-Exclusion principle. As a consequence, using this principle efficiently is crucial for the success of all these algorithms. Especially in the context of condensed representations, such as NDI, and in computing interesting measures, a quick inclusion-exclusion algorithm can be crucial for the performance. In this paper, we give an ...

State Machine Tools For more than 15 years, abstract state machines have been studied, practiced, and applied in modeling and specification of systems to bridge the gap between formal and pragmatic approaches. ASMs have become a well-known technique and assumed a major role in providing a solid and flexible mathematical framework for specification and modeling of virtually all kinds of discrete...
