As protein databases continue to grow in size, exhaustive search methods that compare a query structure against every database structure can no longer provide satisfactory performance. Instead, the filter-and-refine paradigm offers an efficient alternative to database search without compromising the accuracy of the answers. In this paradigm, protein structures are represented in an abstract for...

In this paper, we present a new adaptive feature scaling scheme for ultrahigh-dimensional feature selection on Big Data, and then reformulate it as a convex semi-infinite programming (SIP) problem. To address the SIP, we propose an efficient feature generating paradigm. Different from traditional gradient-based approaches that conduct optimization on all input features, the proposed paradigm it...

As claimed by many behavioral scientists, designing should be based on the knowledge of interaction between human and environment. Environmental quality is also created in the context in which humans interact with their environment. To achieve such quality, designers should develop appropriate models for explaining this relationship, and this requires an understanding of human nature and the en...

1. ABSTRACT This paper argues that the nature and importance of organisation structure and the underpinning design principles are not well understood and yet they play a key role in organisational performance. Existing organisational forms and their design principles are examined via a brief history of the development of modern forms of organisation. There is evidence to suggest that classical ...

In a recent paper inNature, Venkatesh et al. (2014) cast valuable new light on the molecular underpinnings of vertebrate evolution with their publication of the genome of the elephant shark Callorhinchus. Noting that among the gene families involved in bone formation, the SCPP family is the only one absent in Callorhinchus (and probably other chondrichthyans), they argue that this absence is pr...

This study aimed to explore the role of language type in personality ethic- as a social paradigm. To do so, 30 Iranian advanced bilingual EFL university students were selected based on their performance on the OPT. Then, they were asked to respond to an ethical survey as modelled by Poulshock in two Persian and English versions at the time interval of one month. Their responses to both versions...

Sea mode transportation requires tools to transport goods safely from the origin country destination country. These called containers or cargo containers. container shipping industry is an that provides purpose this study to: 1) prove...
