Discussion A method for identification of potassium channel sequences must provide a high sensitity and a good differentiation between true and false positives. This method was tested against the swissprot compilation. As it becomes evident from figure XX, there's a strict separation between true and false positives. To prevent poor recognition of unknown potassium channels, it must be made sur...

The toxic element arsenic is widespread in New Zealand’s aquatic and terrestrial environments. Arsenic is ubiquitous in all of the geothermal areas and waterways that fall within or pass-through the Taupo Volcanic Zone, an area in the central North Island that stretches from Mt Ruapehu to White Island (Figure 1). On its way to the surface, super-heated geothermal water dissolves appreciable amo...

As the language generation community explores the possibility of an evaluation program for language generation, it behooves us to examine our experience in evaluation of other systems that produce text as output. Large scale evaluation of summarization systems and of question answering systems has been carried out for several years now. Summarization and question answering systems produce text ...

The RECODE database is a compilation of translational recoding events (programmed ribosomal frameshifting, codon redefinition and translational bypass). The database provides information about the genes utilizing these events for their expression, recoding sites, stimulatory sequences and other relevant information. The Database is freely available at http://recode.genetics.utah.edu/.

This paper reports on the fourth version of the Mixed Integer Programming Library. Since MIPLIB is to provide a concise set of challenging problems, it became necessary to purge instances that became too easy. We present an overview of the 27 new problems and statistical data for all 60 instances.

We present a self-valuing learning technique which is ca-pable of learning how to grasp unfamiliar objects andgeneralize the learned abilities. The learning system con-sists of two components which distinguish between localand global quality criteria for grasp points. The localcriteria are not object-specific while the global criteriacover physical properties of each obj...
