HieranoiDB (http://hieranoiDB.sbc.su.se) is a freely available on-line database for hierarchical groups of orthologs inferred by the Hieranoid algorithm. It infers orthologs at each node in a species guide tree with the InParanoid algorithm as it progresses from the leaves to the root. Here we present a database HieranoiDB with a web interface that makes it easy to search and visualize the outp...

Studying natural language, and especially how people describe the world around them can help us better understand the visual world. In turn, it can also help us in the quest to generate natural language that describes this world in a human manner. We present a simple yet effective approach to automatically compose image descriptions given computer vision based inputs and using web-scale n-grams...

The perception about real estate properties, both for individuals and agents, is not formed exclusively by their intrinsic characteristics, such as surface and age, but also from property externalities, such as pollution, traffic congestion, criminality rates, proximity to playgrounds, schools and stimulating social interactions that are equally important. In this paper, we present the Real-Est...

Whole genome alignments and comparative analysis are key methods in the quest of unraveling the dynamics of genome evolution. Interactive visualization and exploration of the generated alignments, annotations, and phylogenetic data are important steps in the interpretation of the initial results. Limitations of existing software inspired us to develop our new tool AliTV, which provides interact...

Humans are always in a quest to extract information related to some topic or entity. Question answering system helps user to find the precise answer of the question articulated in natural language. Question answering system provides explicit, concise and accurate answer to user questions rather than providing set of relevant documents or web pages as answers as most of the information retrieval...

The software development project Quest provides tools to build correct software, especially for embedded systems. It connects the CASE-tool AutoFocus to the formal development tool VSE II, and the model checker SMV. To increase quality of non-formally developed programs a test environment is realized, containing a connection to the test-case classiication tool CTE. Proving the correctness of th...

The quest for the Holy Grail was considered the greatest adventure in the Arthurian legend. The quest for consciousness (the holy grail of contemporary neuroscience) is, similarly, one of the greatest scientific adventures of all times. Koch's book summarizes a 14-year old effort –and a personal quest-to understand, and narrow down, the neuronal correlates of consciousness (the NCC). The Quest ...

The question of how to represent and process uncertainty is of fundamental importance to the scientific process, but also in everyday life. Currently there exist a lot of different calculi for managing uncertainty, each having its own advantages and disadvantages. Especially, almost all are defining the domain and structure of uncertainty values a priori, e.g., one real number, two real numbers...

ali shariati was undoubtedly among the most important of the prerevolutionary islamist thinker particularly insofar as he made islam a politically respectable force for many young men and women in iran's traditional middle classes. shariati was novel for the time in terms of his education and intellectual influences. the clear attraction of ideology for shariati is that he believes by means of ...
