SUMMARY Many databases in molecular biology face the problem that the ever increasing rate of data production can no longer be handled by traditional methods, especially human curation. Therefore, a number of projects are currently investigating methods for automated sequence annotation. This paper describes the EBI's approach to this problem for protein sequences by integration of arbitrary an...

Abstract The use of the IoT protocol on medical equipment is expected to provide protection for personnel in dealing with Covid-19 patients, especially when are monitoring and setting up an equipment. This study aims (1) produce a control system breathing apparatus (Ventilator) based Internet Thing (IoT), (2) test ventilator function, (3) data transmission function protocol. method used Define,...

The DØ experiment faces many challenges enabling access to large datasets for physicists on four continents. The new concepts for distributed large scale computing implemented in DØ aim for an optimal use of the available computing resources while minimising the person-power needed for operation. The real live test of these concepts is of special interest for the LHC Computing GRID, LCG, which ...

5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is involved in regulation of both physiological and pathophysiological conditions in tissues throughout the body. 5-HT induces vascular smooth muscle constriction in most vessels. The vasoconstrictive effects of 5-HT are mediated by 5-HT1B and 5-HT2A receptors located on the membrane of smooth muscle cells, except in the intracranial arteries which constrict only thro...

In recent years, mercury has received increasing attention because of its known or suspected impacts on human health. Historically, this concern has resulted from occupational exposures (e.g., “Mad Hatter’s” disease), and from large-scale poisonings (Minamata and Iraq). Currently, however, concern is also focused on more subtle health effects. While use of thimerosal (an organic mercury compoun...

This paper examines the effect of macroeconomic releases on stock market volatility through a Poisson-Gaussian-GARCH process with time varying jump intensity, which is allowed to respond to such information. It is found that the day of the announcement, per se, has little impact on jump intensities. Employment releases are an exception. However, when macroeconomic surprises are considered, infl...

BACKGROUND Dengue is the most prevalent arboviral disease transmitted by Aedes aegypti worldwide, whose chemical control is difficult, expensive, and of inconsistent efficacy. Releases of Metarhizium anisopliae--exposed Ae. aegypti males to disseminate conidia among female mosquitoes by mating represents a promising biological control approach against this important vector. A better understandi...

Considerable debate exists over the primary cause of increased antibiotic resistance (AR) worldwide. Evidence suggests increasing AR results from overuse of antibiotics in medicine and therapeutic and nontherapeutic applications in agriculture. However, pollution also can influence environmental AR, particularly associated with heavy metal, pharmaceutical, and other waste releases, although the...

Interoperable Grid monitoring has been a hot topic since many years (Wolski et al 1999, Michael and Philip 2002). Standardization efforts have been made by the Open Grid Forum with respect to monitoring architecture (Zanikolas et al 2005) and data schema. Grid middleware efforts towards interoperability include GRIP, which resulted in an interoperability layer between UNICORE and GT2, OSG, LCG ...

Negative campaigning presents parties with a collective action problem. While parties would prefer to have their competitors attacked, potential backlash effects from negative messages mean that individual politicians typically lack the incentives to carry out such attacks. We theorize that parties solve this problem by implementing a division of labour that takes into account the incentives of...
