In 2008, IRD started to work on setting up a knowledge base (named Ecoscope) about Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries domain (EAF) in the context of a marine ecology laboratory studying Exploited Marine Ecosystems in different regions of the world. This application was meant to fit the needs of researchers by improving knowledge and related information resources management [14,12]. Among other goa...

application of up to date knowledge and information, diagnosis, education, sharing, development, utilization and maintenance of knowledge is essential for the organizations, especially physical education organization, to continue their existence. the aim of this research was to study the relationship of knowledge management and its components and human resource performance. the study was descri...

This paper explores the process of product replacement within management consultancies.

We describe an efficient approach to model the binding interaction of the disordered effector protein to its cognate chaperone in the type III secretion system (T3SS). Starting from de novo models, we generated ensembles of unfolded conformations of the Yersinia effector YopE using REMD simulations and docked them to the chaperone SycE using a multistep protein docking strategy. The predicted Y...

Naturally occurring cancers in dogs, cats and humans share biological features, including ...
