Nudix enzymes are a superfamily with a conserved common reaction mechanism that provides the capacity for the hydrolysis of a broad spectrum of metabolites. We used hidden Markov models based on Nudix sequences from the PFAM and PROSITE databases to identify Nudix hydrolases encoded by the Arabidopsis genome. 25 Nudix hydrolases were identified and classified into 11 individual families by pair...

We investigate the predictability of successful memes using their early spreading patterns in the underlying social networks. We propose and analyze a comprehensive set of features and develop an accurate model to predict future popularity of a meme given its early spreading patterns. Our paper provides the first comprehensive comparison of existing predictive frameworks. We categorize our feat...

Memetic Multi-Agent System (MeMAS) emerges as an enhanced version of multi-agent systems with the implementation of meme-inspired agents. Previous research of MeMAS has developed a computational framework in which a series of memetic operations have been designed for implementing multiple interacting agents. This paper further endeavors to address the specific challenges that arise in more comp...
