RNA molecules play vital biological roles, and understanding their structures gives us crucial insights into their biological functions. Model evaluation is a necessary step for better prediction and design of 3D RNA structures. Knowledge-based statistical potential has been proved to be a powerful approach for evaluating models of protein tertiary structures. In present, several knowledge-base...

background: Daycare centres/nurseries have become popular because of the need for working mothers to leave young children with caregivers. However, the high poverty level (54% relative and 35% extreme poverty) makes it difficult for disadvantaged parents to pay the high fees charged by the centres. This study describes an attempt to economically empower mothers through the organisation of free ...

Preface To refer to this work use one of these : A few minor corrections have been done so that it cannot be considered as an updated version of the original report. The author wish to thank J.C. Lasseran and A. Lebert for their unmeasurable help. This work couldn't have been done without them. Special thanks also for ITCF and ENSIA's Food Eng. Dept. teams.

While deterioration models consider the gradual reduction in quality and quantity of products over time, amelioration models assume the opposite. This paper is based on an earlier work by Hwang for finding an optimal economic order quantity solution for items subject to amelioration in a Weibull distribution. Hwang solved the problem with a graphical procedure. In this paper, a rigorous analyti...

This paper presents new experimental evidence on the relevance of feature mismatch between the head noun and the embedded noun in the comprehension of relative clauses. Exp. 1 shows that number mismatch determines an amelioration of both subjectand object-extracted relatives in English children. Exp. 2 shows that animacy mismatch per se does not play a role in German but 4-year-olds show a freq...

Variational Autoencoder (VAE) is one of the most popular generative models, and enormous advances have been explored in recent years. Due to the increasing complexity of the raw data and the model architecture, deep networks are needed in VAE models while few works discuss their impacts. According to our observation, VAE does not always benefit from deeper architecture: 1) Deeper encoder makes ...

Treatment of dense deposit disease (DDD) has not been established yet. Steroid therapy is considered as ineffective for DDD. We report an 8-year-old girl with DDD in whom steroid pulse therapy with subsequent oral steroid therapy led to disease remission. Serum C3 level improved in accordance with the amelioration of clinical signs. This case suggests that steroid pulse therapy with subsequent ...
