Authors had reported before two dual Boolean algebras to understand the underlying logic of the genetic code structure. In such Boolean structures, deductions have physico-chemical meaning. We summarize here as these algebraic structures can help us to describe the gene evolution process. Particularly in the experimental confrontation has been found that most of the mutations of several protein...

Existing supervised learning techniques can support product recommendations but are ineffective in scenarios characterized by single-class learning; i.e., training samples consisted of some positive examples and a much greater number of unlabeled examples. To address the limitations inherent in existing single-class learning techniques, we develop COst-sensitive Learning-based Positive Example ...

Lidar has considerable potential as an early forest "re detection technique, presenting considerable advantages when compared to the passive detection methods based on infrared cameras currently in common use, due to its higher sensitivity, ability to accurately locate the "re and the fact that it does not need line of sight to the 3ames. The method has recently been demonstrated by the authors...

Post-registration studies describe parameters of real-life clinical practice such as the treated population, conditions of treatment initiation, treatment duration, adherence, associated benefits/risks as well as the impact on treatment strategies, healthcare procedures and on public health. The results of these studies are used in particular for re-evaluation, re-registration or in application...
