The similarity of pair-wise diseases reveals the molecular relationships between them. For example, similar diseases have the potential to be treated by common therapeutic chemicals (TCs). In this paper, we introduced DisSim, an online system for exploring similar diseases, and comparing corresponding TCs. Currently, DisSim implemented five state-of-the-art methods to measure the similarity bet...

in recent years, underactuated nonlinear dynamic systems trajectory tracking, such as space robots and manipulators with structural flexibility, has become a major field of interest due to the complexity and high computational load of these systems. hierarchical sliding mode control has been investigated recently for these systems; however, the instability phenomena will possibly occur, especia...

the rapid growth of world wide web has affected the nature of interactions between customers and companies enormously. one significant consequence of this phenomenon is definitely the emergence and development of e-commerce websites and online stores all over the web. in spite of its great benefits, online shopping could turn into a complicated procedure from the customer point of view. in most...

In (Mellebeek et al., 2005), we proposed the design, implementation and evaluation of a novel and modular approach to boost the translation performance of existing, wide-coverage, freely available machine translation systems, based on reliable and fast automatic decomposition of the translation input and corresponding composition of translation output. Despite showing some initial promise, our ...

Online communities are a fundamental and increasingly important part of the Web. Sites such as Y! Answers, flickr, MySpace, and YouTube are well-known examples. Further, online applications in diverse domains increasingly incorporate community tools, and the richness of the baseline community offerings is growing rapidly. We routinely see bulletin boards with presence and realtime chat, rating ...

0740-7475/98/$10.00 © 1998 IEEE 17 EMBEDDED SYSTEMS are computers incorporated in consumer products or other devices to perform application-specific functions. The product user is usually not even aware of the existence of these systems. From toys to medical devices, from ovens to automobiles, the range of products incorporating microprocessor-based, softwarecontrolled systems has expanded rapi...

Almost every e-commerce site employs a so-called reputation mechanism that collects and publishes ratings from its users which then allow other market participants to make betterinformed choices. It is instructive to distinguish between two kinds of reputation mechanisms in accordance with the problems they address: those that are employed by online opinion forums, such as Amazon Reviews, are b...

recently, internet is widely used in our daily life, caused online customer growing rapidly, then the amount of online store rising quickly. therefore, it is an important issue for online stores to stand out from the crowd, even boost sales and profit. many enterprises had invested resource on online store, but great amount of stores were closedown. the major reason is operator spend many effor...
