SUMMARY GoFish is a Java application that allows users to search for gene products with particular gene ontology (GO) attributes, or combinations of attributes. GoFish ranks gene products by the degree to which they satisfy a Boolean query. Four organisms are currently supported: Saccaromyces cerevisiae, Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, and M.musculus.

Because emissions from solid fuel burning in traditional stoves impacts global climate change, the regional environment, and household health, there is today a real fascination with improved cook stoves (ICS). Nonetheless, surprisingly little is known about what households like about these energy products. We report on preferences for ICS attributes in a large sample of 2,120 rural households i...

Currently, there is an ongoing debate related to the large environmental impact of livestock greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and negative effect saturated fat contained in animal foods on human health. In response these adverse effects, dairy producers have adopted strategies reduce effects by modifying conventional feed composition. This study investigated, for first time, Finnish consumers’ wi...

OBJECTIVES Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) are routinely used to elicit patient preferences to improve health outcomes and healthcare services. While many fractional factorial designs can be created, some are more statistically optimal than others. The objective of this simulation study was to investigate how varying the number of (1) attributes, (2) levels within attributes, (3) alternative...

Meat and meat products are closely associated with the daily eating habits of people around the world. Quality monitoring of meat and meat products is essential to ensure public health. In recent years, the meat industry has employed state-of-the art, high-speed processing technology, and meat processors need rapid, non-destructive, easy-touse technology to monitor the safety and quality of mea...

Recommender system is a promising technology for companies to present personalised offers to their customers. But this technology suffers from sparsity problem. In addition, most researches are based on explicit rating. But most users do not spend time for rating of products. Therefore, this research proposes an effective recommendation based on user behaviour. Since users express their opinion...

What types of asylum seekers are Europeans willing to accept? We conducted a conjoint experiment asking 18,000 eligible voters in 15 European countries to evaluate 180,000 profiles of asylum seekers that randomly varied on nine attributes. Asylum seekers who have higher employability, have more consistent asylum testimonies and severe vulnerabilities, and are Christian rather than Muslim receiv...

Communication plans are intrinsic to project management. However, the time and cost effects of communication plan choices have largely been overlooked. Herein, we study the impact of three types of communications plans that implement collaborative information technologies (CITs) (i.e., asynchronous, synchronous and both) on the key project metrics of communication cost and project schedule perf...
