We present a comprehensive set of mock 2dF and SDSS galaxy redshift surveys constructed from a set of large, high-resolution cosmological N -body simulations. The radial selection functions and geometrical limits of the catalogues mimic those of the genuine surveys. The catalogues span a wide range of cosmologies, including both open and flat universes. In all the models the galaxy distribution...

Social media has dramatically changed how we communicate and collaborate both publically and internally within an organization. However, minimal research has examined the impact this media may have within the enterprise, specifically in a virtual team environment. This research examines the use of one social media, Social Networking Sites (SNS), and how the information available through this te...

This paper introduces the Web TextFull linkage to Linked Open Data (WTF-LOD) dataset intended for large-scale evaluation of named entity recognition (NER) systems. First, we present the process of collecting data from the largest publically-available textual corpora, including Wikipedia dumps, monthly runs of the CommonCrawl, and ClueWeb09/12. We discuss similarities and differences of related ...

In face recognition, LDA often encounters the so-called small sample size (SSS) problem, also known as curse of dimensionality. This problem occurs when the dimensionality of the data is quite large in comparison to the number of available training images. One of the approaches for handling this situation is the subspace LDA. It is a two-stage framework: it first uses PCA-based method for dimen...

In this paper we demonstrate approaches for opinion mining in Latvian text. Authors have applied, combined and extended results of several previous studies and public resources to perform opinion mining in Latvian text using two approaches, namely, semantic polarity analysis and machine learning. One of the most significant constraints that make application of opinion mining for written content...

A new predictive toxicology tool, REACHAcross, a collaboration between UL and researchers from Johns Hopkins University, will contribute strongly to reduced animal use. REACHAcross was initially created using the publically available toxicology data from nearly 10,000 chemicals registered under REACH and has since been expanded to include toxicology data from other public databases. This highly...

Bioinformatics applies unbiased approaches to develop statistically-robust insight into health and disease. At the global, or "20,000 foot" view bioinformatic analyses of vitamin D receptor (NR1I1/VDR) signaling can measure where the VDR gene or protein exerts a genome-wide significant impact on biology; VDR is significantly implicated in bone biology and immune systems, but not in cancer. With...

The occurrence of large publically available repositories of human breast tumor gene expression profiles provides an important resource to discover new breast cancer biomarkers and therapeutic targets. For example, knowledge of the expression of the estrogen and progesterone hormone receptors (ER and PR), and that of the ERBB2 in breast tumor samples enables choice of therapies for the breast c...

Flush end-plate (FEP) connections are one of the most popular bolted steel in construction practice. These possess a semi-rigid moment-rotation behavior that betwixt rigid and pinned connections. Nonetheless, they commonly idealized as design numerical simulations. This paper investigates flexibility, strength ductility such holistic manner, based on recently compiled comprehensive database mor...

Abstract We present a new magnetic compilation for Central Gondwana conformed to recent satellite model (LCS-1) with the help of an equivalent layer approach, resulting in consistent levels, corrections that have not previously been applied. Additionally, we use data its full spectral content, which helps include India, where high resolution aeromagnetic are publically available. As India is lo...
