In this paper we describe simple design of a kaleidoscope used for measuring the bidirectional reflectance distribution function with aim to obtain the bidirectional texture function of various surface samples. The first prototype of the kaleidoscope was designed in symmetrical configuration with four tapered mirror walls. We discuss the influence of different design parameters with respect to ...

In Model-Driven Engineering bidirectional model transformations emerged as an important ingredient to cope with scenarios such as change propagation, synchronization and to keep consistent system views whenever changes occurring on some view have to be propagated over the others. However, bidirectional mappings open a number of intricate issues that have been only partially solved by research. ...

Searching for genes encoding microRNAs (miRNAs) is an important task in genome analysis. Because the secondary structure of miRNA (but not the sequence) is highly conserved, the genes encoding it can be determined by finding regions in a genomic DNA sequence that match the structure. It is known that algorithms using a bidirectional search on the DNA sequence for this task outperform algorithms...

In this paper, we propose a variety of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) based models for sequence tagging. These models include LSTM networks, bidirectional LSTM (BI-LSTM) networks, LSTM with a Conditional Random Field (CRF) layer (LSTM-CRF) and bidirectional LSTM with a CRF layer (BI-LSTM-CRF). Our work is the first to apply a bidirectional LSTM CRF (denoted as BI-LSTM-CRF) model to NLP benchmark...

We consider bidirectional cooperating distributed (BCD) grammar systems in the sense of Asveld. Independently of their mode , , =, , or t, BCD grammar systems with two components characterize the re-cursively enumerable languages even with right-linear rules and without-productions. This sharply contrasts earlier results on solely generating or accepting grammars, where right-linear rules alway...

The case-crossover design compares exposures during the period of time of failure with one or more periods when failure did not occur and evaluates the potential excess risk using conditional logistic regression. In this simulation study, we applied several control sampling approaches to control for confounding by various temporal patterns of an exposure variable and evaluated the usefulness of...

CpG island methylation within promoters is known to silence individual genes in cancer. The involvement of this process in silencing gene pairs controlled by bidirectional promoters is unclear. In a screen for hypermethylated CpG islands in cancer, bidirectional promoters constituted 25.2% of all identified promoters, which matches with the genomic representation of bidirectional promoters. Fro...

A "bidirectional gene pair" comprises two adjacent genes whose transcription start sites are neighboring and directed away from each other. The intervening regulatory region is called a "bidirectional promoter." These promoters are often associated with genes that function in DNA repair, with the potential to participate in the development of cancer. No connection between these gene pairs and c...
