Graphs are used to model chemical compounds and drugs. In the graphs, each vertex represents an atom of molecule and edges between the corresponding vertices are used to represent covalent bounds between atoms. The Wiener polarity index W p (G) of a graph G is the number of unordered pairs of vertices u, v of G such that the distance between u and v is equal to 3. The trees and unicyclic graphs...

Antimicrobial peptides occupy a prominent place in the production of pharmaceuticals, because of their effective contribution to the protection of the immune system against almost all types of pathogens. These peptides are thoroughly studied by computational methods designed to shed light on their main functions. In this paper, we propose a computational approach, named the Polarity Profile met...

in this study the effect of input parameters of the edm process (pulse on-time, duty cycle and tool polarity), on the material removal rate (mrr), tool wear ratio (twr) and maximum surface roughness (rmax) in the machining aisi h13 tool steel has been studied. this study shows that increasing the duty cycle in the two conditions of tool polarity, material removal rate and the maximum surface ro...

This paper describes the SHELLFBK system that participated in SemEval 2015 Tasks 9, 10, and 11. Our system takes a supervised approach that builds on techniques from information retrieval. The algorithm populates an inverted index with pseudo-documents that encode dependency parse relationships extracted from the sentences in the training set. Each record stored in the index is annotated with t...

The lipoproteins are an important group of cargo proteins known for their unique capability to transport lipids. By applying the Polarity index algorithm, which has a metric that only considers the polar profile of the linear sequences of the lipoprotein group, we obtained an analytical and structural differentiation of all the lipoproteins found in UniProt Database. Also, the functional groups...

BACKGROUND A large number of patients with bipolar disorder (BD) can be characterized by predominant polarity (PP), which has important implications for relapse prevention. Recently, Popovic et al. (EUR NEUROPSYCHOPHARM 22(5): 339-346, 2012) proposed the Polarity Index (PI) as a helpful tool in the maintenance treatment of BD. As a numeric expression, it reflects the efficacy of drugs used in t...

The magnetic counterpart of the CNV, the contingent magnetic variation (CMV), was investigated in an Go/No Go design: subjects moved their index finger to the offset of a 4 sec tone of a certain frequency in the Go condition and were asked not to move during presentation of a 4 sec tone of different frequency in the No Go condition. During the preparatory interval, both the CMV and the electric...

Gestalt factors of collinearity and similarity facilitate two fundamental perceptual tasks: grouping elements into figures and segmentation of figures from the ground. We have used a global-local paradigm to examine the psychophysical and neural correlates of these processes in humans: observers discriminated between orientations of either a three-Gabor group (grouping), or of a central Gabor w...
