The M3 workshop has, as its primary focus, the rapidly growing area of metagenomics, including the metadata standards and the meta-analysis approaches needed to organize, process and interpret metagenomics data. The PSB Workshop builds on the first M3 meeting, a Special Interest Group (SIG) meeting at ISMB 2009, organized by the Genomics Standards Consortium.

VÁZLEROVÁ M., STEINHAUSEROVÁ I. (2006): The comparison of the methods for the identification of pathogenic serotypes and biotypes of Yersinia enterocolitica: Microbiological methods and PCR. Czech J. Food Sci., 24: 217–222. In this study, pathogenic strains of Y. enterocolitica were identified by microbiological and PCR methods. The samples were collected from pigs, cattle, poultry, and slaught...

3D object classification with multi-view representation has become very popular, thanks to the progress on computer techniques and graphic hardware, and attracted much research attention in recent years. Regarding this task, there are mainly two challenging issues, i.e., the complex correlation among multiple views and the possible imbalance data issue. In this work, we propose to employ the hy...

Power distribution system in the country is characterized by high power losses, poor reliability of supply, frequent equipment burnouts etc. The traditional approach in electric power generation is to have centralized plants distributing electricity through an extensive transmission & distribution network. Distribution generation (dg) provides electric power at a site closer to the customer, el...

This paper presents a proposal for solving the Problem of Selecting Bailiffs by Districts (PSB/D) in the central of warrants in Maranho-Brazil using Genetic Algorithm (GA). The complete solution to the PSB/D problem is a Web-based software called GAPSB/D. We conducted several experiments to prove its applicability considering two scenarios. The first scenario represents the central of warrants ...

Recently, integrating several feature descriptors to be a powerful one has become a hot issue in the field of 3D object understanding. The fusing mechanism is so crucial that can significantly affect the performance of 3D model classification. In this paper, a powerful model for 3D model classification, which can novelly integrate several graphs, is proposed. This mechanism is based on graph fu...

Bioinformatics is a scientific area requiring powerful computing resources for exploring large sets of biological data. Sequence alignment is an important method in DNA and protein analysis. BLAST has become the most popular tool and implements a fast heuristic method for sequence alignment and searching. The goal of this paper is to estimate the scalability of parallel sequence alignment on th...
