Building 3D body models is an important task for virtual and augmented reality applications in telerehabilitation, education, 3DTV, entertainment and tele-presence. We propose a real-time full 3D reconstruction system that combines visual features and shape-based alignment using low cost depth sensor and video cameras targeting three-dimensional conferencing applications. With this approach we ...

DIAL (dihedral alignment) is a web server that provides public access to a new dynamic programming algorithm for pairwise 3D structural alignment of RNA. DIAL achieves quadratic time by performing an alignment that accounts for (i) pseudo-dihedral and/or dihedral angle similarity, (ii) nucleotide sequence similarity and (iii) nucleotide base-pairing similarity. DIAL provides access to three ali...

In this article, we introduce three views of product development complexity: a process view, a product view, and an organization view. We are able to learn about the complex social phenomenon of product development by studying the patterns of interaction across the decomposed elements within each view. We also compare the alignment of the interaction patterns, between the product, process, and ...

Knowledge graphs (KGs) provide a wealth of prior knowledge for the research on social networks. Cross-lingual entity alignment aims at integrating complementary KGs from different languages and thus benefits various knowledge-driven network studies. Recent methods often take an embedding-based approach to model relation embedding KGs. However, these studies mostly focus information itself its s...

Achieving business-IT alignment is one of the main purposes and also challenges of organizations. Many studies have indicated the importance of aligning information systems (IS) function with other business functions. The main purpose of this survey is evaluating business-IT alignment focusing on social and technical dimensions of business-IT alignment in Bank Mellat. The data was collected thr...

This paper presents a novel language-independent context-based sentence alignment technique given parallel corpora. We can view the problem of aligning sentences as finding translations of sentences chosen from different sources. Unlike current approaches which rely on pre-defined features and models, our algorithm employs features derived from the distributional properties of sentences and doe...

In order to successfully govern an enterprise, business and information technology must be aligned. With proper alignment comes many benefits, including improved risk mitigation and more effective use of IT resources. Undoubtedly, the challenge and complexity of this endeavour is enormous and has previously been addressed in research literature and by practitioners. The Strategic Alignment Matu...

Summary: Combo is a comparative genome browser that provides a dynamic view of whole genome alignments along with their associated annotations. Combo provides two different visualization perspectives. The perpendicular (dot plot) view provides a dot plot of genome alignments synchronized with a display of genome annotations along each axis. The parallel view displays two genome annotations hori...
