Abstract Increasing complexity and volume of research data pose increasing challenges for scientists to manage their efficiently. At the same time, availability reuse are becoming more important in modern science. The German government has established an initiative develop management (RDM) increase accessibility reusability at national level, Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur (NFDI). NFDI ...

Boosted Regression Trees (BRT) is one of the modelling techniques most recently applied to biodiversity conservation and it can be implemented with presence-only data through the generation of artificial absences (pseudo-absences). In this paper, three pseudo-absences generation techniques are compared, namely the generation of pseudo-absences within target-group background (TGB), testing both ...

The hydrogen [1,3]-sigmatropic shift in propene is predicted by the Woodward-Hoffman rules to occur by an antarafacial pathway, yet the lack of experimental evidence suggests that this pathway is not favorable. Two natural questions arise: (i) can the [1,3]-shift be made more favorable by a symmetry-forbidden multistep pathway, and (ii) can the energetics be influenced by a substituent on prope...

Testing object-oriented software is critical because object-oriented languages have been commonly used in developing modern software systems. Many efficient test input generation techniques for object-oriented software have been proposed; however, stateof-the-art algorithms yield very low code coverage (e.g., less than 50%) on large-scale software. Therefore, one important and yet challenging p...

In this work we propose an innovative approach to data mining problem. We propose very flexible data mining system based on serviceoriented architecture. Developing applications according to SOA paradigm emerges from the rapid development of the new technology direct known as sustainability science. Each of data mining functionalities is delivered by the execution of the proper Web service. The...

This paper presents a formalization of the Web Service composition problem as a search problem in an AND/OR graph, and a search algorithm for searching the graph to identify composite service(s) that satisfies a Web Service request. Given a service request that only can be satisfied by a composition of Web Services, we identify the service categories that are relevant to the request and dynamic...

Military boxing, a kind of Chinese martial arts, is widespread and health beneficial. In this paper, the authors introduce a military boxing learning system realized by 3D motion capture, Web3D and 3D interactive technologies. The interactions with the system are natural and intuitive. Users can observe and learn the details of each action of the military boxing under different views and scales...
