Wetlands are valuable urban resources and can provide various ecosystem services for cities. In order to face the continuous urbanization market economy environment, relevant government-related management, decision-makers, stakeholders make objective comprehensive value judgments decide fate of wetland resources. Our quantitative approach provided by wetlands produced clear, direct, persuasive ...

Recognition and translation of named entities (NEs) are two current research topics with regard to the proliferation of electronic documents exchanged through the Internet. The need to assimilate these documents through NLP tools has become necessary and interesting. Moreover, the formal or semiformal modeling of these NEs may intervene in both processes of recognition and translation. Indeed, ...

In practice, many named entities (NEs) are multiword. Most of the research, done on mining the NEs from the comparable corpora, is focused on the single word transliterated NEs. This work presents an approach to mine Multiword Named Entities (MWNEs) from the text re-use document pairs. Text re-use, at document level, can be seen as noisy parallel or comparable text based on the level of obfusca...

During nuclear import, cytosolic transport factors move through the nuclear pore complex (NPC) to the nuclear compartment. Kap95p is required during import for docking the nuclear localization signal-receptor and ligand to the NPC. Recycling of this factor back to the cytoplasm is necessary for continued rounds of import; however, the mechanism for Kap95p recycling is unknown. We have determine...

The therapeutic effect of chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is significantly restricted by the stern reaction conditions and slow rate Fenton (pH 3-4). Herein, we report an ultrasmall trimetallic (Pd, Cu, Fe) alloy nanozyme (PCF-a NEs) possessing dynamic active-site synergism, thus exhibiting a cascade glutathione peroxidase (POD) mimicking activities in circumneutral pH. PCF-a NEs exhibit phototherma...

During the next decade, emerging technologies will help populating the physical space with ubiquitous networks of embedded systems (NES). Programming NES requires new abstractions and computing models since the current programming models are not designed for the scale and volatility encountered in these networks. This paper presents Spatial Programming (SP), a novel programming model for NES. T...

Nuclear export receptor CRM1 binds highly variable nuclear export signals (NESs) in hundreds of different cargoes. Previously we have shown that CRM1 binds NESs in both polypeptide orientations (Fung et al., 2015). Here, we show crystal structures of CRM1 bound to eight additional NESs which reveal diverse conformations that range from loop-like to all-helix, which occupy different extents of t...

OBJECTIVE Globally obesity has reached epidemic proportions with alarming rates in the Arabian Gulf countries. The impact of behavioral eating habits and in particular night eating syndrome (NES) have not been emphasized in the region. This study assessed the proportion of NES in an Omani Arab adult population sample. METHOD A night eating syndrome questionnaire (NEQ) was distributed to Omani...
