background: prediction of interaction sites within the membrane protein complexes using the sequence data is of a great importance, because it would find applications in modification of molecules transport through membrane, signaling pathways and drug targets of many diseases. nevertheless, it has gained little attention from the protein structural bioinformatics community. methods: in this stu...

In this paper we consider the following task: given an abstract state machine, characterize the subsets of initial values corresponding to different typical scenarios of the system behavior. In order to solve it we suggest formalization of the notion of scenario and then discuss possible approaches to the classification of the computations.

This paper presents a novel latent variable recurrent neural network architecture for jointly modeling sequences of words and (possibly latent) discourse relations that link adjacent sentences. A recurrent neural network generates individual words, thus reaping the benefits of discriminatively-trained vector representations. The discourse relations are represented with a latent variable, which ...

Data-driven techniques have been used for many computational linguistics tasks. Models derived from data are generally more robust than hand-crafted systems since they better reflect the distribution of the phenomena being modeled. With the availability of large corpora of spoken dialog, dialog management is now reaping the benefits of data-driven techniques. In this paper, we compare two appro...

"In this paper we question the pioneering work of Todaro, which states that rural-to-urban labor migration in less developed countries (LDCs) is an individual response to a higher urban expected income. We demonstrate that rural-to-urban labor migration is perfectly rational even if urban expected income is lower than rural income. We achieve this under a set of fairly stringent conditions: ...

Rice is the major source of food for half of the world’s population. Paddy production entails use of costly resources a quarter to one third of world’s annual fresh water supply, fossil fuels and synthetic fertilizers leading to high ecological foot prints. Paddy fields also emit greenhouse gases to global warming, soil and water pollution. The system of Rice Intensification (SRI) is an answer ...

Nowadays, by successful application of on time production concept in other concepts like production management and storage, the need to complete the processing of jobs in their delivery time is considered a key issue in industrial environments. Unrelated parallel machines scheduling is a general mood of classic problems of parallel machines. In some of the applications of unrelated parallel mac...
