UNLABELLED The cytokines/related receptors system represents a complex regulatory network that is involved in those chronic inflammatory processes which lead to many diseases as cancers. We developed a Cytokine Receptor Database (CytReD) to collect information on cytokine receptors related to their biological activity, gene data, protein structures and diseases in which these and their ligands ...

Motivated to realize the speech-driven information retrieval systems that accept spontaneously spoken queries, we developed a method to collect such speech data derived from the pre-defined search topics that had been systematically constructed for IR research. In order to evaluate both our method and the performance of the document retrieval by using the spontaneously spoken queries, we took p...

To make good decisions, businesses try to gather good intelligence information. Yet managing and processing a large amount of unstructured information and data stand in the way of greater business knowledge. An effective business intelligence tool must be able to access quality information from a variety of sources in a variety of forms, and it must support people as they search for and analyze...

A set of identical, mobile agents is deployed in a weighted network. Each agent possesses a battery a power source allowing the agent to move along network edges. Agents use their batteries proportionally to the distance traveled. At the beginning, each agent has its initial information. Agents exchange the actually possessed information when they meet. The agents collaborate in order to perfor...

When investigators are faced with a target system, they want to find sensitive information such as userID and password. Unfortunately, sensitive information can not be found on the hard drive in most cases. Consequently, sensitive information needs to be gathered from physical memory. In our research, we have found lots of sensitive information from physical memory by different techniques. Besi...

This paper addresses the issue of how to approach gathering sensitive data in less-than-ideal circumstances. We discuss the challenges presented in gathering data about drug use and drug market participation among arrestees, and will suggest strategies to overcome these challenges. Themes include the importance of participants' understanding that the research is not part of their individual cri...
