Generally, Event Extraction is to identify any instance of a particular class of events in a natural language text, to extract the relevant arguments of the event, and to represent the extracted information into a structured form.1Let us define Event on the binary relation between two entities for special event verbs which are predefined by biologists. Here, Entity means biomedical entities suc...

In these notes we aim to capture some important patterns for building secure systems, and, in particular, what you can do at design time to improve security. How can you choose an architecture that will help reduce the likelihood of flaws in your system, or increase the likelihood that you will be able to survive such flaws? We begin with a powerful concept, the notion of a trusted computing ba...

In this paper, we evaluate different lexico-syntactic patterns in regard to their usefulness for ontology building. Each pattern is analysed individually to determine its respective probability to return the hyponymy relation. We also create different ontologies according to this accuracy criteria to show how it influences the resulting ontology. Using patterns with a success rate over 80% lead...

Design patterns are a topic of great current interest within the object-oriented programming community. The motivation is both economical and intellectual. On one hand, there is the hope of establishing a common culture and language that fosters communicatino and growth in the software engineering field. While a community dominated by empiricism is seeking to achieve higher levels of formality ...

Building genetic regulatory networks from time series data of gene expression patterns is an important topic in bioinformatics. Probabilistic Boolean networks (PBNs) have been developed as a model of gene regulatory networks. PBNs are able to cope with uncertainty, corporate rule-based dependencies between genes and uncover the relative sensitivity of genes in their interactions with other gene...

green architecture, or green design, is an approach to building that minimizes harmful effects on human health and the environment. the “green” architect or designer attempts to safeguard air, water, and earth by choosing eco-friendly building materials and construction practices. so, green architecture is building and structure design philosophy that aims at minimal use of non-renewable and/or...

in this paper, acceptance criteria of steel building code, comprehensive and quick evaluation procedures for x-bracing, are compared to each other parametrically and numerically. for this purpose, it is assumed first that the sample building is designed to meet steel building code and then by introducing transform parameters and using stress ratio of the designed components, acceptance of the d...

Quality and process improvement programs usually require organizations to run a repository such as an experience base. However, setting up the schema of an experience base requires expert knowledge. But schema experts are not always available to support the setup of a new experience base. One promising solution is to capture their knowledge in patterns or building blocks. This paper describes a...

Parallel application design and development is a major area of interest in the domain of high performance scientific and industrial computing. In fact, parallel computing is becoming an integral part in several major application domains, for instance: space, medicine, cancer and genetic research, graphics and animation, image processing-to name a few. With the advent of fast interconnecting net...
