The Ribosome Builder is a software project that provides tools and techniques to create dynamic models of macromolecular systems from the rapidly growing numbers of atomic structural models. It includes a computer program that allows the user to assemble the multiple molecular components within a 3D space and to define the hypothetical interactions of these components with the initial goal of u...

This paper demonstrates how an institution of higher education, explicitly Kazakhstan Institute of Economics, Management and Strategic Research, KIMEP, can apply the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to translate Voices of Customer (VoC) into program requirements. The student needs and requirements were identified to develop the foundation in delivering quality curriculum and services in higher...

Online transactions have become increasingly popular and deserve greater attention from a research perspective. Whereas there are various aspects of online transactions, this study specifically examined an online bargaining scenario utilizing software agents. User’s performance and attitudes were studied in a 2x2 factorial-design experiment. The independent variables were power distance (a dime...

The ever-growing usage of aspect-oriented development methodology in the field of software engineering requires tool support for both research environments and industry. So far, tool support for many activities in aspect-oriented software development has been proposed, to automate and facilitate their development. For instance, the AJaTS provides a transformation system to support aspect-orient...

This paper describes work in progress for the creation of a new open– source resource for Spanish: an HPSG–based treebank so–called Tibidabo. The annotation is performed semi–automatically. First, the corpus is automatically annotated by a symbolic HPSG–based grammar for Spanish implemented on the Linguistic Knowledge Builder system; then, the output is manually disambiguated. The existence of ...

A major limitation in understanding embryonic development is the lack of cell type-specific markers. Existing gene expression and marker atlases provide valuable tools, but they typically have one or more limitations: a lack of single-cell resolution; an inability to register multiple expression patterns to determine their precise relationship; an inability to be upgraded by users; an inability...

What is a web-based corpus and what is web-based corpus software? The answer is, strictly speaking, that there is no such thing as web-based corpus software. However, one should not be discouraged by this rather negative assessment. In fact, if one examines the title closely, different bracketings of the phrase might suggest interesting possibilities. For example, if one chooses to write it as ...

Chemistry is very interesting, but it is often regarded as a difficult subject. Computer software can make chemistry teaching easier, and keeps the students active. This paper seeks to introduce some implications of computer softwares in chemistry classroom teaching. These softwares include Powerpoint, Chemoffice, computer simulation softwares, LabVIEW software, some computational chemistry sof...

Nowadays, the information systems of large companies are quickly growing in complexity. In fact, tough new software development technologies and technical infrastructures are ever more powerful and allow higher degrees of flexibility, on the other hand this translates in a more complex solution for the final software systems and their maintainability results in a very challenging task. This is ...
