Background Networks have been proven effective representations for the analysis of biological data. As such, there exist multiple methods to extract knowledge from biological networks. However, these approaches usually limit their scope to a single biological entity type of interest or they lack the flexibility to analyze user-defined data. Results We developed ProphTools, a flexible open-sou...

This article pursues two tasks. The first is to clarify the value and productivity of Williams’s Keywords: a vocabulary culture society (first edition 1976, second expanded 1983a) for project Cultural Studies. clarification helped, I argue, by reading it alongside Vološinov’s Marxism philosophy language (published in Russian 1929, translated into English 1973). related task speculative developm...

BACKGROUND Debates surrounding the use of conventional approaches in public health and the existence of perceived barriers to using the results of economic evaluations have led to questions posed as to how to establish priorities within public health schemes. The aims of this study were therefore to explore the feasibility and validity of economic evaluation techniques in developing priorities ...

The article is devoted to the problem of inconsistency in the pairwise comparisons based prioritization methodology. The issue of "inconsistency" in this context has gained much attention in recent years. The literature provides us with a number of different "inconsistency" indices suggested for measuring the inconsistency of the pairwise comparison matrix (PCM). The latter is understood as a d...

We study the development of conjunctive keyword searchable scheme which enables one to search encrypted documents by using more than one keyword. The notion of conjunctive keyword searching was presented by Golle et al. in 2004. However, their security model was constructed in a symmetric-key setting which is not applicable for the overall applications in the reality. So Park et al. extended Go...

In this paper we present several proofs on the extension of M. Riesz fractional integration and di¤erentiation to the contexts of spaces of homogeneous type and measure metric spaces with non-doubling measures. 1. Introduction, some de…nitions, and a basic lemma Professor M. Ash asked me to write a survey article on some of the results that Stephen Vági and I obtained in the nineties on fractio...

This article provides a critical appraisal of the concept of sustainable development in light of climate change. As the latest climate change science indicates strong effects of anthropogenic activity on global warming, we review the pros and the cons of prioritizing development over environmental protection. The methodology used consists in critically discussing the arguments of scientists and...
