The presentation gives an overview of present major changes in the environmental strategies and external premises for industrial environmental performance. Such changes are discussed in the lights of increasing waste and resource problems, the shift from environmental control to avoidance technologies, long-term perspectives and systems thinking, and the understanding of fundamental thermodynam...

Entity set expansion (ESE) is the problem that expands a small set of seed entities into a more complete set, entities of which have common traits. As a popular data mining task, ESE has been widely used in many applications, such as dictionary construction and query suggestion. Contemporary ESE mainly utilizes text and Web information. That is, the intrinsic relation among entities is inferred...

Transient homodimer protein interactions have been investigated by analyzing the influence of ionic strength (NaCl) on the electron self-exchange (the bimolecular reaction whereby the two oxidation states of a redox protein interconvert) rate constant (k(ese)) of four plastocyanins. The k(ese) values for the plastocyanins from spinach, Dryopteris crassirhizoma (a fern), and the green alga Ulva ...

This paper examines the role of entrepreneurship education in strengthening entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) and entrepreneurial intentions (EI). In addition, the nature of the relationship between ESE and students' intentions to pursue an entrepreneurial career is explored. Finally, the role of gender in moderating this relationship is tested. Data were collected at the beginning and the en...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) super-enhancers (ESEs) are essential for lymphoblastoid cell (LCL) growth and survival. Reanalyses of LCL global run-on sequencing (Gro-seq) data found abundant enhancer RNAs (eRNAs) being transcribed at ESEs. Inactivation of ESE components, EBV nuclear antigen 2 (EBNA2) and bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4), significantly decreased eRNAs at ESEs -428 and -525 kb ...

Nowadays, quality of service (QoS) is very popular in various research areas like distributed systems, multimedia real-time applications and networking. The requirements of these systems are to satisfy reliability, uptime, security constraints and throughput as well as application specific requirements. The real-time multimedia applications are commonly distributed over the network and meet var...
