We discuss some features of the new logic programming language DALI for agents and multi-agent systems. In particular, we aim at illustrating the treatment of proactivity, which is based on the mechanism of the internal events. This mechanism is general and flexible, and it is different from all the other approaches that can be found in the literature. In this paper, as a case-study we discuss ...

BRAGI offers an efficient visual access to sequence alignment information, 3D alignments and annotated protein structure-function correlations. As a new feature we have mapped information from SWISSPROT and InterPro to individual entries of the PDB. 3D structural alignments from DALI database were converted to XML files for easy access in BRAGI. BRAGI provides interactive access to NCBI-Blast a...

Dali and HSSP are derived databases organizing protein space in the structurally known regions. We use an automatic structure alignment program (Dali) for the classification of all known 3D structures based on all-against-all comparison of 3D structures in the Protein Data Bank. The HSSP database associates 1D sequences with known 3D structures using a position-weighted dynamic programming meth...

This paper illustrates advances over existing implementation work performed on DALI, which is a logic prolog-based framework for defining agents and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) developed at University of L’Aquila since 1999, and publicly available. In previous work, DALI features were already extended in view of cognitive robotic applications and Complex Event Processing. Here, we show how to def...

The Dali server (http://ekhidna2.biocenter.helsinki.fi/dali) is a network service for comparing protein structures in 3D. In favourable cases, comparing 3D structures may reveal biologically interesting similarities that are not detectable by comparing sequences. The Dali server has been running in various places for over 20 years and is used routinely by crystallographers on newly solved struc...

This document describes the Data Access Layer Interface (DALI). DALI defines the base web service interface common to all Data Access Layer (DAL) services. This standard defines the behaviour of common resources, the meaning and use of common parameters, success and error responses, and DAL service registration. The goal of this specification is to define the common elements that are shared acr...

We report here a human case of Taenia asiatica infection which was confirmed by genetic analyses in Dali, China. A patient was found to have symptoms of taeniasis with discharge of tapeworm proglottids. By sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) gene, we observed nucleotide sequence identity of 99% with T. asiatica and 96% with T. saginata. Using the cytochrome b (...
