Graph mining is an important research area with a plethora of practical applications. Core decomposition in networks, is a fundamental operation strongly related to more complex mining tasks such as community detection, dense subgraph discovery, identification of influential nodes, network visualization, text mining, just to name a few. In this tutorial, we present in detail the concept and pro...

We present an algorithm for graph based saliency computation that utilizes the underlying dense subgraphs in finding visually salient regions in an image. To compute the salient regions, the model first obtains a saliency map using random walks on a Markov chain. Next, k-dense subgraphs are detected to further enhance the salient regions in the image. Dense subgraphs convey more information abo...

This paper concerns the problem of computing the densest k-vertex subgraph of a given graph, namely, the subgraph with the most edges, or with the highest edges-to-vertices ratio. A sequence of approximation algorithms is developed for the problem! with each step yielding a better ratio at the cost of a more complicated solution. The approximation ratio of our final algorithm is O(n0,3””5). We ...

Small guanosine triphosphatases of the Rab family regulate intracellular vesicular trafficking. Rab2 is highly expressed in the nervous system, yet its function in neurons is unknown. In Caenorhabditis elegans, unc-108/rab-2 mutants have been isolated based on their locomotory defects. We show that the locomotion defects of rab-2 mutants are not caused by defects in synaptic vesicle release but...

background: dense granule antigens (gra antigens) of toxoplasma gondii induce strong antibody response in humans and are considered as useful diagnostic antigens. previous studies reported expression of amino terminal gra8 protein in fusion with large tags such as glutathione-s-transferase. the present study aimed to produce soluble full length immunogenic gra8 in bacteria. methods: gra8 comple...

in order to increase the efficiency of the conveyance of the granular solids, a new experimental set-up is designed. the test rig has longitudinal trapezoidal slots in its conveying pipes. through experimentation, a correlation for friction factor in terms of solid mass flow rate, fluid flow rate and froude number is presented. it is shown that the mixture friction factor for pipes with inner t...

abstract   background: recently, small dense low density lipoprotein (sdldl) has been highlighted as a new risk factor for the coronary artery disease (cad).small dense ldls are believed to be atherogenic since these particles are taken up more easily by arterial wall. they are readily oxidized and have reduced affinity for low density lipoprotein (ldl) receptor and increased affinity for arter...
