The recent expansion in our knowledge of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) has allowed the annotation and prediction of hundreds of thousands of interactions. However, the function of many of these interactions remains elusive. The interactions of Eukaryotic Linear Motif (iELM) web server provides a resource for predicting the function and positional interface for a subset of interactions med...

In this paper, we give a combinatorial characterization of the special graphs of fat Hoffman graphs containing K1,2 with smallest eigenvalue greater than −3, where K1,2 is the Hoffman graph having one slim vertex and two fat vertices.

Low-permeability near-critical volatile reservoirs are characterized by light oil, complex fluid phase, and strong reservoir inhomogeneity, etc. Purely injecting CO2 will create a series of problems, such as serious gas channeling, low sweep efficiency, oil recovery. Therefore, in this paper, through combination experiments simulations the process studying problem from simple to complex, we car...

We report on a model-based approach to system-software coengineering which is tailored to the specific characteristics of critical onboard systems for the aerospace domain. The approach is supported by a System-Level Integrated Modeling (SLIM) Language by which engineers are provided with convenient ways to describe nominal hardware and software operation, (probabilistic) faults and their propa...

We show that any rational convex polytope is polynomial-time representable as a three-way linesum transportation polytope of “slim” (r, c, 3) format. This universality theorem has important consequences for linear and integer programming and for confidential statistical data disclosure. We provide a polynomial-time embedding of arbitrary linear programs and integer programs in such slim transpo...

Multiway tables with specified marginals arise in a variety of applications in statistics and operations research. We provide a comprehensive complexity classification of three fundamental computational problems on tables: existence, counting, and entry-security. One outcome of our work is that each of the following problems is intractable already for “slim” 3tables, with constant number 3 of r...
