Analyzing protein binding sites provides detailed insights into the biological processes proteins are involved in, e.g., into drug-target interactions, and so is of crucial importance in drug discovery. Herein, we present novel alignment-independent binding site descriptors based on DrugScore potential fields. The potential fields are transformed to a set of information-rich descriptors using a...

In this paper, a novel feature-based image watermarking scheme is proposed. Zernike moments which have invariance properties are adopted in the scheme. In the proposed scheme, feature points are first extracted from host image and several circular patches centered on these points are generated. The patches are used as carriers of watermark information because they can be regenerated to locate w...

HOCR is abbreviated as Handwritten Optical Character Recognition. HOCR is a process of recognition of different handwritten characters from a digital image of documents. Handwritten automatic character recognition has attracted many researchers all over the world to contribute handwritten character recognition domain. Shape identification and feature extraction is very important part of any cha...

Structural genomics initiatives have started to accumulate protein structures of unknown function in an increasing pace. Conventional sequence-based function prediction methods are not able to provide useful function information to most of such structures. Thus, structure-based approaches have been developed, which predict function of proteins by capturing structural characteristics of function...

Let m be a positive integer whose smallest prime divisor is denoted by p, and let Zm denote the cyclic group of residues modulo m. For a set B = {x1, x2, . . . , xm} of m integers satisfying x1 < x2 < · · · < xm, and an integer j satisfying 2 ≤ j ≤ m, define gj(B) = xj − x1. Furthermore, define fj(m, 2) (define fj(m, Zm)) to be the least integer N such that for every coloring ∆ : {1, . . . ,N} ...

Our goal will be to find subsets of Zm that form groups under the operation of multiplication modulo m. By utilizing the isomorphism Zm ∼= Zn ⊕ Zk, we will find multiplicative groups contained in Zn ⊕ Zk and then map these back to Zm. In particular, if m = nk with gcd(n, k) = 1, our objective is to find particular multiplicative subsets of Zn × Zk that are groups and whose first coordinate is a...

Abstract With the continuous progress of science and information technology, people begin to study in field intelligence, machine learning is one key contents. At present, human beings have made some intelligent robot, speech recognition network search. The method character based on great significance technology. In this paper, an improved CRNN algorithm feature fusion proposed, which combines ...

A critical step in the visual navigation of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) is horizon line detection, which can be used to adjust altitude as well for obstacle avoidance complex environments. In this paper, a real-time and accurate detection method proposed. Our approach first differentiates complexity navigational scenes using angular second moment (ASM) parameters grey level co-occurrence m...

Received July 7, 1993; revised manuscript received November 22, 1993; accepted December 14, 1993 We propose orthogonal Fourier-Mellin moments, which are more suitable than Zernike moments, for scaleand rotation-invariant pattern recognition. The new orthogonal radial polynomials have more zeros than do the Zernike radial polynomials in the region of small radial distance. The orthogonal Fourier...

The pancreas plays an important role in the homeostasis of zinc (Zn), a nutritionally essential metal. In several previous studies, Zn ions induced inflammatory changes exocrine pancreas; however, little is known about complexes. this study, we microscopically, immunohistochemically, and ultrastructurally examined pancreatic lesions Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats by 4-week repeated oral dose toxicity...
