We describe a new method of processing similarity queries of a proteic multiple alignment with a set (database) of protein sequences, or similarity queries of a protein sequence with a set of protein alignments. We use a representation of multiple alignments as alignment-graphs. Comparisons with diierent classical methods is made. This new method allows the detection of subtle similarities whic...

BACKGROUND Patients with metastatic, progressive or recurrent Ewing sarcoma (ES) have a dismal outcome. The combination of irinotecan and temozolomide has been proposed as an effective salvage regimen for some pediatric malignancies. Thus, we sought to evaluate this combination with vincristine for patients with relapsed and refractory ES. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-two patients with relaps...

Stem CO2 efflux (ES) plays an important role in the carbon balance of forest ecosystems. However, its primary controls at the global scale are poorly understood and observation-based global estimates are lacking. We synthesized data from 121 published studies across global forest ecosystems and examined the relationships between annual ES and biotic and abiotic factors at individual, biome, and...

In this paper, we describe the TelM eA2002 asynchronous online community, which uses embodied characters as expressive media to communicate messages. The functionality of the system and the challenges faced in designing it are discussed. Furthermore, we present the results of its first user evaluation.

The d etection of the set of syntactic fram es, i.e. syntactic entities a certain verb su bcategorizes for, is im portant especially for tasks like parsing and gram mar d evelopm ent. Machine-readable d ictionaries listing su bcategorization fram es usually give only expected fram es rather than actual ones and are therefore incom plete, or not available for som e languages, inclu d ing Mod ern...
