This paper studies bilevel polynomial optimization. We propose a method to solve it globally by using optimization relaxations. Each relaxation is obtained from the Karush--Kuhn--Tucker ...

background: leukemia inhibitor factor (lif) is a very important pleiotropic cytokine which belongs to interleukin-6 (il-6) family. lif exerts multiple effects on different types of cells and tissues with numerous regulatory effects in vivo and in vitro. it is a lymphoid factor, which performs a number of activities including cholinergic neuron differentia­tion, control of stem cell pluripotency...

human epidermal growth factor receptor (her) family plays an important role in various types of cancers. as a result, antibodies against her and the mechanism of antigen-antibody binding action are under active investigation. we previously constructed a single-chain variable fragment (scfv) against her2, i.e. anti-her2 scfv, for expressing in the escherichia coli . in the present study, we repo...

This paper addresses the problem of inferring a regular expression from a given set of strings that resembles, as closely as possible, the regular expression that a human expert would have written to identify the language. This is motivated by our goal of automating the task of postmasters of an email service who use regular expressions to describe and blacklist email spam campaigns. Training d...

Regular path expression is one of the core components of XML query languages, and several approaches to evaluating regular path expressions have been proposed. In this paper, a new path expression evaluation approach, extent join, is proposed to compute both parent-children (‘/’) and ancestor-descendent (‘//’) connectors between path steps. Furthermore, two path expression optimization rules, p...
