This lecture presents an overview of important developments regarding the safety management of offshore structures. The hazards and the means to control the associated risk are categorized from a technical-physical as well as human and organizational point of view using actual accidents and near misses as examples. Considerations of the risk associated with fatigue, corrosion and other degradin...

The similarity property principle states that similar compounds have similar properties. In this study, we demonstrate that validity this principle holds well when the drug targets are protein domains. We leverage the similarity property principle to explore the druggability of CATH-FunFams, a type of protein domain and we use the associations between drugs and CATH-FunFams to explore drug poly...

In this paper, we propose a multi-view structural local subspace tracking algorithm based on sparse representation. We approximate the optimal state from three views: (1) the template view; (2) the PCA (principal component analysis) basis view; and (3) the target candidate view. Then we propose a unified objective function to integrate these three view problems together. The proposed model not ...

We propose a uniform, category-theoretic account of structural induction for inductively deened data types. The account is based on the understanding of inductively deened data types as initial algebras for certain kind of endofunctors T : B !B on a bicartesian/distributive category B. Regarding a predicate logic as a bration p : P!B over B , we consider a logical predicate lifting of T to the ...
