Jeffrey Goldberg's comments in "The Color of Suspicion"' are comprehensive, factual, and an indictment of the racist practice of profiling. I found it fascinating and revealing to read that racial profiling had its genesis in practices by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's behavioral science unit and the Drug Enforcement Administration's encouragement of state officials to profile drug couri...

This paper investigates whether AspectJ can be used for efficient profiling of Java programs. Profiling differs from other applications of AOP (e.g. tracing), since it necessitates efficient and often complex interactions with the target program. As such, it was uncertain whether AspectJ could achieve this goal. Therefore, we investigate four common profiling problems (heap usage, object lifeti...

Advancing in genome sequencing has greatly propelled the understanding of the living world, however, it is insufficient for full description of a biological system. Focusing on, proteomics has emerged as another large-scale platform for improving the understanding of biology. Proteomic experiments can be used for different aspects of clinical and health sciences such as food technology, biomark...

With the maturation of metabolomics science and proliferation of biobanks, clinical metabolic profiling is an increasingly opportunistic frontier for advancing translational clinical research. Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) approaches provide exciting opportunity to guide feature selection in agnostic metabolic profiling endeavors, where potentially thousands of independent data points mus...

CCTV (Closed-Circuit TeleVision) systems are broadly deployed in the present world. To ensure in-time reaction for intelligent surveillance, it is a fundamental task for real-world applications to determine the gender of people of interest. However, normal video algorithms for gender profiling (usually face profiling) have three drawbacks. First, the profiling result is always uncertain. Second...

Criminal profiling, referred to as offender profiling, psychological profiling or criminal personality profiling, is the derivation of inferences about a criminal from aspects of the crime (s) that he or she has committed. Available information from a crime and crime scene theoretically should point to a psychological portrait of the unknown perpetrator inferring such things as the offender’s m...

Mass spectrometry has brought unprecedented possibilities in the field of proteomics. The advances obtained in the last 10 years have been outstanding and have enabled faster and more reliable data acquisition and comparison. One powerful method developed was the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry profiling (MALDI-TOF MS profiling) approach, primarily u...

More and more, services and products are being personalised or tailored, based on user-related data stored in so called user profiles or user models. Although user profiling offers great benefits for both organisations and users, there are several psychological factors hindering the potential success of user profiling. The most important factors are trust, control and privacy concerns. This pap...

The parallel use of multiple pharmacophore models representing different pharmacological targets emerges as an in silico tool for compound activity profiling. This technology allows for the prediction of desired bioactivities together with potential adverse effects of a drug candidate. In thefield of ethnopharmacology,activity profiling can guide the rationalization of traditional drug uses and...
