The biological interpretation of gene expression microarray results is a daunting challenge. For complex diseases such as cancer, wherein the body of published research is extensive, the incorporation of expert knowledge provides a useful analytical framework. We have previously developed the Exploratory Visual Analysis (EVA) software for exploring data analysis results in the context of annota...

To estimate the frequency of isolated enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) in patients with non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in an Egyptian population sample and to correlate its size with the degree of hearing loss. The study group comprised 16 patients (32 ears) suffering from non-syndromic SNHL since childhood. After a complete basic audiological evaluation, all patients were su...

The EVA descriptor is derived from fundamental IR and Raman range molecular vibrational frequencies. EVA is sensitive to 3-D structure, but has an advantage over field-based 3-D QSAR methods inasmuch as it is invariant to both translation and rotation of the structures concerned and thus structural superposition is not required. The latter property and the demonstration of the effectiveness of ...

EVA is a web-based server that evaluates automatic structure prediction servers continuously and objectively. Since June 2000, EVA collected more than 20,000 secondary structure predictions. The EVA sets sufficed to conclude that the field of secondary structure prediction has advanced again. Accuracy increased substantially in the 1990s through using evolutionary information taken from the div...

The effects of transition metals on the hydrophobicity of nano–structured layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and the compatibility of LDHs/ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) composites have seldom been reported. NiMgAl–LDHs slightly surface–modified with stearate and doped with transition metal cations (Mn2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Zn2+) are investigated. Compared to the pure EVA, not only were the maximal degrad...

Ethylene vinyl acetate blends (EVA-B) (at 19 and 28 wt% acetate) were supplied by the footwear industry, along with an industrial (reference) compound labeled EVA-ref. EVA waste is sub-product crosslinked (injection sprues unused midsoles), that was particulate through a micronization process as EVA-w. The objective of present work to evaluate processability rheological parameters (using torque...

there are several methods for measuring the performance and value of a company. these are, earnings per share, earnings growth rate, dividend per share, rate of return on equity and free cash flow. the purpose of this article is to show that all these criteria have some deficiencies and will introduce a new criterion called economic value added (eva). eva is computed by subtracting capital char...

A more quantitative approach to the analysis of astronaut extravehicular activity (EVA) tasks is needed because of their increasing complexity, particularly in preparation for the on-orbit assembly of the International Space Station. Existing useful EVA computer analyses produce either high-resolution three-dimensional computer images based on anthropometric representations or empirically deriv...
