This research addresses the problem of prediction of protein-protein interactions (PPI) when integrating diverse kinds of biological information. This task has been commonly viewed as a binary classification problem (whether any two proteins do or do not interact) and several different machine learning techniques have been employed to solve this task. However the nature of the data creates two ...

UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical usefulness of PET/CT or CT-attenuated PET in the evaluation of patients with oral cavity cancer (OCC) in whom dental artifacts distorted the conventional CT or MR images of the oral cavity. METHODS A PET/CT scan, in addition to a CT or MRI scan, was performed in 69 patients with OCC who had dentures or dental implants. A tot...

We propose a new compressed text index built upon grammar compression based on induced suffix sorting [Nunes et al., DCC’18]. show that this exhibits locality sensitive parsing property, which allows us to specify, given pattern P, certain substrings of called cores, are similarly parsed in the whenever these occurrences extensible P. Supported by length m, we can locate all its \(\text {occ}\)...

Main-memory multicore transactional systems have achieved excellent performance using single-version optimistic concurrency control (OCC), especially on uncontended workloads. Nevertheless, based other protocols, such as hybrid OCC/ locking and variations multiversion (MVCC), are reported to outperform the best OCC systems, with increasing contention. This paper shows that implementation choice...

BACKGROUND Increases in the incidence of squamous cell oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) have been reported from some countries, but have not been assessed in Australia or New Zealand. This study examines trends for squamous cell OPC and squamous cell oral cavity cancer (OCC) in two similarly sized populations, New Zealand and Queensland, Australia. METHODS Incidence data for 1982-2010 were obtained...

BACKGROUND Recent studies have demonstrated an elevated risk of oral cavity cancers (OCC) among socioeconomically deprived populations, whose increasing presence in suburban neighbourhoods poses unique challenges for equitable health service delivery. The majority of studies to date have utilised aspatial methods to identify OCC. In this study, we use high-resolution geographical analyses to id...

Error Tree is a novel tree structure that is mainly oriented to solve the approximate pattern matching problems, Hamming and edit distances, as well as the wildcards matching problem. The input is a text of length n over a fixed alphabet of length Σ, a pattern of length m, and k. The output is to find all positions that have ≤ k Hamming distance, edit distance, or wildcards matching with P . Th...

Although an optimistic approach has been shown to be better than locking protocols for real-time database systems (RTDBS), it has the problems of unnecessary restarts and heavy restart overhead. In this paper, we propose a new optimistic concurrency control protocol called OCC-DATI. In OCC-DATI the number of transaction restarts is minimized by dynamic adjustment of the serialization order of t...
