We describe an efficient method for partial complementary shape matching for use in rigid protein-protein docking. The local shape features of a protein are represented using boolean data structures called Context Shapes. The relative orientations of the receptor and ligand surfaces are searched using precalculated lookup tables. Energetic quantities are derived from shape complementarity and b...

The aim of this work is summarizing the current state of the art in the field of ontology visualization. For this purpose the method of systematic literature analysis has been applied. Publications on and in ESWC, ISWC, KEOD, AVI, and JUCS have been systematically searched for research results regarding ontology visualizations. Besides a general map of activity in the area, especially the conte...

epstein-barr virus (ebv) was discovered 50 years ago from an african burkitt lymphoma cell line. ebv-associated lymphoproliferative disorders (lpds) are life-threatening diseases, especially in children. in this article, we review ebv-associated lpds, especially in the area of primary immunodeficiency disease (pid). we searched pubmed for publications with key words including ebv infection, lym...

Patients with hemispatial neglect are impaired at moving their attention to a target on the conrralesional display side. In the present study, visual display area was varied independently of the number of items displayed within the area. Patients searched for the absence of a simple visual feature in displays that produce serial search performance in normals (R. Klein, 1988; A. Treisman & J. So...

Cloud computing in eHealth is an emerging area for only few years. There needs to identify the state of the art and pinpoint challenges and possible directions for researchers and applications developers. Based on this need, we have conducted a systematic review of cloud computing in eHealth. We searched ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, Inspec, ISI Web of Science and Springer as well as releva...

OBJECTIVES To assess the evaluative research literature on the costs, quality and effectiveness of different locations of care for older patients. METHODS A systematic review of evaluative research from 1988 using CRD4 guidelines. Twenty-five databases were searched, using processes developed specially for this review. Library OPACS, the Internet and research registers were also searched for ...

This paper describes a method for the detection and tracking of human face and facial features. Skin segmentation is learnt from samples of an image. After detecting a moving object , the corresponding area is searched for clusters of pixels with a known distribution. Since we only use the hue (color) component this process is quite insensitive to illumination changes. The face localization pro...
