Classification is an important task of machine intelligence in the field of information. The artificial neural network (ANN) is widely used for classification. However, the traditional ANN shows slow training speed, and it is hard to meet the real-time requirement for large-scale applications. In this paper, an improved brain-inspired emotional learning (BEL) algorithm is proposed for fast clas...

Extracting meaningful relationships with semantic significance from biomedical literature is often a challenging task. BioCreative V track4 challenge for the first time has organized a comprehensive shared task to test the robustness of the text-mining algorithms in extracting semantically meaningful assertions from the evidence statement in biomedical text. In this work, we tested the ability ...

The successful design and synthesis of a novel Pt complex of the histone deacteylase inhibitor belinostat are reported. Molecular modelling assisted in the identification of a suitable malonate derivative of belinostat (mal-p-Bel) for complexation to platinum. Reaction of [Pt(NH3)2(H2O)2](NO3)2 with the disodium salt of mal-p-Bel gave cis-[Pt(NH3)2(mal-p-Bel-2H)] (where -2H indicates that mal-p...

Automatic extraction of biological network information is one of the most desired and most complex tasks in biological and medical text mining. Track 4 at BioCreative V attempts to approach this complexity using fragments of large-scale manually curated biological networks, represented in Biological Expression Language (BEL), as training and test data. BEL is an advanced knowledge representatio...

We have previously shown that the regulation by interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) involves phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) metabolites in neonatal ventricular myocytes. Based on studies in which ONO-RS-082 is used to inhibit secretory PLA(2) and methyl arachidonyl fluorophosphonate is used to inhibit cytosolic PLA(2), our data suggest that a secretory PLA(2) met...

The ABO blood group is the most important blood group system in transfusion medicine. In addition to the normal levels of ABO antigen expression, Ael and Bel represent the two major blood types that have a weak expression of the A or B antigens on red blood cells. Due to the fact that typing of Ael and Bel by conventional serological methods is time consuming and sometimes gives false-positive ...

The relevance of network-based approaches in systems biology to achieve a better understanding of biological mechanisms has increased enormously. The Biological Expression Language (BEL) is well designed to collate findings from scientific literature into biological network models. To facilitate encoding and biocuration of such findings in BEL, a free and user-friendly web-based curation interf...

The human foamy virus (HFV) genome possesses three open reading frames (bel 1, 2, and 3) located between env and the 3' long terminal repeat. By analogy to other human retroviruses this region was selected as the most likely candidate to encode the viral transactivator. Results presented here confirmed this and showed further that a deletion introduced only into the bel 1 open reading frame of ...

A novel intelligent control strategy based on a brain emotional learning (BEL) algorithm is investigated in the application of the attitude control of a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in this study. The BEL model imitates the emotional learning process in the amygdala‐ orbitofrontal (A‐O) system of mammalian brains. Here it is used to develop the flight control system of the U...

Cellular levels of free arachidonic acid (AA) are controlled by a deacylation/reacylation cycle whereby the fatty acid is liberated by phospholipases and reincorporated by acyltransferases. We have found that the esterification of AA into membrane phospholipids is a Ca(2+)-independent process and that it is blocked up to 60-70% by a bromoenollactone (BEL) that is a selective inhibitor of a newl...
