Personalized PageRank (PPR) is a measure of the importance of a node in a graph from the perspective of another node (we call these nodes the target and the source, respectively). PPR has been used in many applications, such as offering a Twitter user (the source) personalized recommendations of who to follow (targets deemed important by PPR). Computing PPR at scale is infeasible for networks l...

pharaonis phoborhodopsin (ppR; also pharaonis sensory rhodopsin II, psRII) is a receptor of the negative phototaxis of Natronobacterium pharaonis. In halobacterial membrane, ppR forms a complex with its transducer pHtrII, and this complex transmits the light signal to the sensory system in the cytoplasm. In the present work, the truncated transducer, t-Htr, was used which interacts with ppR [Su...

Personalized PageRank (PPR) computation is a fundamental operation in web search, social networks, and graph analysis. Given a graphG, a source s, and a target t, the PPR query π(s, t) returns the probability that a random walk on G starting from s terminates at t. Unlike global PageRank which can be effectively pre-computed and materialized, the PPR result depends on both the source and the ta...

Cytoplasmic male sterility is a maternally inherited trait in higher plants that prevents the production of functional pollen. Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility in radish (Raphanus sativus) is regulated by the orf138 mitochondrial locus. Male fertility can be restored when orf138 accumulation is suppressed by the nuclear Rfo locus, which consists of three genes putatively encoding highly similar...

The reported geographical variations in the prevalence of photoparoxysmal response (PPR) among epilepsy patients have been variously attributed to methodological problems such as patient selection, technique of intermittent photic stimulation (IPS) and definition of PPR, and environmental and racial factors. We determined the prevalence rate of PPR among South Indian epilepsy patients and compa...

Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins are eukaryotic RNA-binding proteins that are commonly found in plants. Organelle transcript processing and stability are mediated by PPR proteins in a gene-specific manner through recognition by tandem arrays of degenerate 35-amino-acid repeating units, the PPR motifs. However, the sequence-specific RNA recognition mechanism of the PPR protein remains lar...

Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a highly contagious viral disease of domestic and wild small ruminants and thus has serious socioeconomic implications. In Pakistan, during the year 2012-2013, estimated losses due to PPR were worth Rs. 31.51 billions. Close contact between infected and susceptible animals is an important route of transmission of PPR. Therefore, carrier animals play an import...

OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to determine the outcome of trivial or mild periprosthetic regurgitation (PPR) identified by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). BACKGROUND The clinical significance, natural history and correlates of trivial or mild PPR detected early after surgery are unknown. METHODS Between 1992 and 1997, 608 consecutive patients underwent isolate...

This paper addresses a pipelined partial rolling (PPR) architecture for the AES encryption. The key technique is the PPR architecture. With the proposed architecture on the Altera Stratix FPGA, two PPR implementations achieve 6.45Gbps throughput and 12.78Gbps throughput, respectively. Compared with the unrolling implementation that achieves a throughput of 22.75Gbps on the same FPGA, the two PP...
