Protein remote homology detection has attracted a great deal of interest as it is one of the most important problems in bioinformatics. Profile-based methods recently achieve the state-of-the-art performance. A key step to improve the performance of these methods is to find a suitable approach to use the evolutionary information in the profiles. In this study, we propose the profile-based prote...

This communication presents some aspects of an on-going research on a class of indicators of scientific visibility. Relying on a new usage of classic citation distribution studies, the "activity index in citation classes" (AIC) describes the "relative citation profile" or distribution of actors' articles among quantile classes of citations defined by the world reference. AIC exists in multiple ...

The authors are performance specialists with experience in software engineering, and contributors to the definition of the performance sub-profile of the UML SPT Profile [6]. Our viewpoint is that the profile should be usable in everyday practice by software developers. We have used it in a dozen examples and have found it largely effective. Our domain is distributed systems for telecom and bus...

The aim in information filtering is to provide users with a personalised selection of information, based on a description of their interest profile. In some domains, users will want access to such profiles even if they are system generated. We have performed a study of the effects of combining automatic profiling with explicit user involvement. Firstly, we wanted to explore if a machine-learned...

The important step in the turbine aerodynamic design is generation of blade element profiles to achieve the required flow deflection and smooth flow acceleration with minimum losses. During profile generation, in addition to aerodynamic performance, additional constraints of thermal, structural and castability requirements need to be considered. Thus profile generation is a trade-off between co...

Currently, most profile control agents would be degraded in strong alkaline condition. They could not be applied in ASP (alkaline, surfactant and partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide) flooding. To solve this problem, a new kind of alkali-resistant gel for deep profile has been studied. Based on the profile control mechanism of profile agent and the crosslinking mechanism of the polymer, the sele...

To indicate the best airfoil profile for different sections of a blade, five airfoils; included S8xx, FFA and AH series was studied. Among the most popular wind power blades for this application were selected, in order to find the optimum performance. Nowadays, modern wind turbines are using blades with multi airfoils at different sections. SST-K-ω model with different wind speed at large scale...

In many industrial and non-industrial applications the quality of a process or product is characterized by a relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables. This relationship is referred to as profile. In the past decade, profile monitoring has been extensively studied under the normal response variable, but it has paid a little attention to the profile with the ...

In this paper, we evaluate performance of 6LoWPAN and PANA over a mesh network based on mathematical analysis, considering IEEE 802.15.4 MAC/PHYbehavior, 6LoWPAN behavior including fragmentation and PANA protocol behavior. End-to-end IP packet error rate, mean end-to-end IP packet delay, PANA session failure rate and mean PANA session establishment delay are used as the performance criteria. We...
