MOTIVATION To understand the behaviour of complex biological regulatory networks, a proper integration of molecular data into a full-fledge formal dynamical model is ultimately required. As most available data on regulatory interactions are qualitative, logical modelling offers an interesting framework to delineate the main dynamical properties of the underlying networks. RESULTS Transposing ...

Using bit-parallelism has resulted in fast and practical algorithms for approximate string matching under the Levenshtein edit distance, which permits a single edit operation to insert, delete or substitute a character. Depending on the parameters of the search, currently the fastest non-filtering algorithms in practice are the O(kn!m/w") algorithm of Wu & Manber, the O(!km/w"n) algorithm of Ba...

Many of the highest performance approaches for electronic paper use voltage to reveal or hide dark pigments or dyes over a white pixel surface, and the reflectance of white pixels is lower than in real paper because the dark pigments or dyes can never be fully removed from the visible pixel area. Here, we introduce a re-designed approach for electronic paper that transposes coloured ink in fron...

This paper presents a reappraisal of how conventional lectures could meet the expectations of ‘digital native’ students. Our approach is to consider how digital media could be integrated further into the lecture by transposing knowledge through artistic as well as pedagogical means to form a ‘performance lecture’. We began by developing a design and evaluation framework to foster new creative t...

Two divided visual field lexical decision experiments were conducted to examine the role of the cerebral hemispheres in transposed-letter similarity effects. In Experiment 1, we created two types of nonwords: nonadjacent transposed-letter nonwords (TRADEGIA; the base word was TRAGEDIA, the Spanish for TRAGEDY) and two-letter different nonwords (orthographic controls: TRATEPIA). In Experiment 2,...

Institutional recommendation is an important factor for building trust in business or social interactions. Institutional ratings are issued by trusted authorities such as public bodies or reference publications. They assess people’s expertise, the quality of products or services or the economic health of companies among other. Institutional ratings are characterized by objective and repeatable ...

Alu elements are the most abundant transposable elements in human, which comprise 11% of the total genomic DNA and propagate by copying themselves within the genome transposing to another region. Depending on where these DNA segments land within a genome, inserted copies could have major influence directly either on the expressed phenotype, functions or facilitate other repeat-induced genomic c...

Transposable elements (TEs) occupy a large fraction of metazoan genomes and pose a constant threat to genomic integrity. This threat is particularly critical in germ cells, as changes in the genome that are induced by TEs will be transmitted to the next generation. Small noncoding piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) recognize and silence a diverse set of TEs in germ cells. In mice, piRNA-guided tran...

When transposing large matrices using SDRAM memories, typically a control overhead significantly reduces the data throughput. In this paper, a new address mapping scheme is introduced, taking advantage of multiple banks and burst capabilities of modern SDRAMs. Other address mapping strategies minimize the total number of SDRAM page-opens while traversing the two-dimensional index-space in row o...

The paper is a study on natural language (NL) from the viewpoint of the conceptual model integration. The universality, unifying abilities, natural extensibility, logic and reusability of NL, as well as its morphological and syntactic stability, made the modelers think of transposing these features to object and process modeling. A correspondence is established here between the main concepts an...
