Reproducibility of Science is considered as one of the main principles of the scientific method, and refers to the ability of an experiment to be accurately reproduced, by third person, in complex experiment every detail matters to ensure the correct reproducibility. In the context of the ICCS 2011, Elsevier organized the executable paper grand challenge a contest to improve the way scientific ...

Research studies frequently yield conflicting results. Resolving these conflicts is a grand challenge to effective application of research results. This paper presents a new framework for encapsulating the context and findings of research studies into a dimensional knowledge base which makes it easy to identify the conflicting results, and to explore the differences in context that might explai...

Protein structure prediction has been a “grand challenge” problem in the structure biology over the last few decades. Protein quality assessment plays a very important role in protein structure prediction. In the paper, we propose a new protein quality assessment method which can predict both local and global quality of the protein 3D structural models. Our method uses both multi and single mod...

As the next generation of engineers, engineering students at the local level have specific views on what key issues should be addressed in the coming decades. Results of a University of Kansas survey completed by over 220 engineering students from sophomores to graduate students in seven engineering majors from five departments are reported, analyzed, and compared with the 14 Grand Challenges f...

I. ABSTRACT Modern computational science is largely a model-building activity. At first sight, the models that scientists construct seem to differ radically from those used in model-based engineering. Scientists tend to build indicative ('how things are') models of the world using sets of continuous equations, while engineers tend to build optative ('how things should be') models of the world u...

The World Wide Web is rapidly emerging as an important medium for commerce as well as for the dissemination of information related to a wide range of topics (e.g., business and government). According to most predictions, the majority of human information will be available on the Web. These huge amounts of data raise a grand challenge, namely, how to turn the Web into a more useful information u...

Résumé. Pour mieux analyser et extraire de la connaissance de flots de données, des approches spécifiques ont été proposées ces dernières années. L’un des challenges auquel elles doivent faire face est la détection de changement dans les données. Alors que de plus en plus de données qualitatives sont générées, peu de travaux de recherche se sont intéressés à la détection de changement dans ce c...

Delivering safe and effective therapeutic treatment to patients is one of the grand challenges in modern medicine. However, drug safety research has been progressing slowly in recent years, compared to other fields such as biotechnologies and precision medicine, due to the mechanistic complexity of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). To fill up this gap, we develop a new database, the Adverse Drug R...

In this paper‎, ‎we introduce the notion of $(m,n)$-‎algebr‎aically compact modules as an analogue of algebraically‎ ‎compact modules and then we show that $(m,n)$-algebraically‎ ‎compactness‎ ‎and $(m,n)$-pure injectivity for modules coincide‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎further characterizations of a‎ ‎$(m,n)$-pure injective module over a commutative ring are given‎.
