The systems biology markup language (SBML): a medium for representation and exchange of biochemical network models

MOTIVATION
Molecular biotechnology now makes it possible to build elaborate systems models, but the systems biology community needs information standards if models are to be shared, evaluated and developed cooperatively.


RESULTS
We summarize the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) Level 1, a free, open, XML-based format for representing biochemical reaction networks. SBML is a software-independent language for describing models common to research in many areas of computational biology, including cell signaling pathways, metabolic pathways, gene regulation, and others.

Developing Citizens ’ Trust towards Successful Adoption of E-Government : an Empirical Study from Saudi Arabia

Despite the significant influence of citizens’ trust towards successful adoption of e-government, the majority of research studies investigating trust in e-government focus only on technology and government agencies. This research provides a deep understanding of the concept of trust in e-government by investigating the influence of technology, government agencies, risk, citizens’ characteristic. Structure Equation Modelling PLS-SEM is utilized to analyse the collected data and to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings of the study reveals the positive and significant impacts of both technical factors and citizens’ characteristic while factors related to government agencies and risk provide negative impacts in trust in egovernment. Also, this paper identifies effective strategies that government need to develop citizens’ trust on their online services. Research contributions and limitations are also discussed in the end of the paper.
Does the application of constraint-induced movement therapy during acute rehabilitation reduce arm impairment after ischemic stroke?

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Motor dysfunction after unilateral deafferentation in primates can be overcome by restraining the unaffected limb. We asked whether a constraint-induced movement (CIM) program could be implemented within 2 weeks after stroke and whether CIM is more effective than traditional upper-extremity (UE) therapies during this period.


METHODS
Twenty-three persons were enrolled in a pilot randomized, controlled trial that compared CIM with traditional therapies. A blinded observer rated the primary end point, the Action Research Arm Test (ARA). Inclusion criteria were the following: ischemic stroke within 14 days, persistent hemiparesis, evidence of preserved cognitive function, and presence of a protective motor response. Differences between the groups were compared by using Student's t tests, ANCOVA, and Mann-Whitney U: tests.


RESULTS
Twenty subjects completed the 14-day treatment. Two adverse outcomes, a recurrent stroke and a death, occurred in the traditional group; 1 CIM subject met rehabilitation goals and was discharged before completing 14 inpatient days. The CIM treatment group had significantly higher scores on total ARA and pinch subscale scores (P:<0.05). Differences in the mean ARA grip, grasp, and gross movement subscale scores did not reach statistical significance. UE activities of daily living performance was not significantly different between groups, and no subject withdrew because of pain or frustration.


CONCLUSIONS
A clinical trial of CIM therapy during acute rehabilitation is feasible. CIM was associated with less arm impairment at the end of treatment. Long-term studies are needed to determine whether CIM early after stroke is superior to traditional therapies.
Disaggregated water sensing from a single, pressure-based sensor: An extended analysis of HydroSense using staged experiments

We present an extended analysis of our previous work on the HydroSense technology, which is a low-cost and easily installed single-point sensor of pressure for automatically disaggregating water usage activities in the home (Froehlich et al., 2009 [53]). We expand upon this work by providing a survey of existing and emerging water disaggregation techniques, a more comprehensive description of the theory of operation behind our approach, and an expanded analysis section that includes hot versus coldwater valve usage classification and a comparisonbetween two classification approaches: the template-based matching scheme used in Froehlich et al. (2009) [53] and a new stochastic approach using a Hidden Markov Model. We show that both are successful in identifying valveand fixturelevel water events with greater than 90% accuracies. We conclude with a discussion of the limitations in our experimental methodology and open problems going forward. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Face recognition based on the uncorrelated discriminant transformation

The extraction of discriminant features is the most fundamental and important problem in face recognition. This paper presents a method to extract optimal discriminant features for face images by using the uncorrelated discriminant transformation and KL expansion. Experiments on the ORL database and the NUST603 database have been performed. Experimental results show that the uncorrelated discriminant transformation is superior to the Foley}Sammon discriminant transformation and the new method to extract uncorrelated discriminant features for face images is very e!ective. An error rate of 2.5% is obtained with the experiments on the ORL database. An average error rate of 1.2% is obtained with the experiments on the NUST603 database. Experiments show that by extracting uncorrelated discriminant features, face recognition could be performed with higher accuracy on lower than 16 16 resolution mosaic images. It is suggested that for the uncorrelated discriminant transformation, the optimal face image resolution can be regarded as the resolution m n which makes the dimensionality N"mn of the original image vector space be larger and closer to the number of known-face classes. 2001 Pattern Recognition Society.

The road pavement condition affects safety and comfort, traffic and travel times, vehicles 8 operating cost and emission levels. In order to optimize the road pavement management and 9 guarantee satisfactory mobility conditions for all the road users, the Pavement Management 10 System (PMS) is an effective tool for the road manager. An effective PMS requires the availability of 11 pavement distress data, the possibility of data maintenance and updating, in order to evaluate the 12 best maintenance program. In the last decade, many researches have been focused on pavement 13 distress detection, using a huge variety of technological solutions for both data collection and 14 information extraction and qualification. This paper presents a literature review of data collection 15 systems and processing approach aimed at the pavement condition evaluation. Both commercial 16 solutions and research approaches have been included. The main goal is to draw a framework of 17 the actual existing solutions, considering them from a different point of view in order to identify 18 the most suitable for further research and technical improvement, also considering the automated 19 and semi-automated emerging technologies. An important attempt is to evaluate the aptness of the 20 data collection and extraction to the type of distress, considering the distress detection, 21 classification and quantification phases of the procedure. 22

Near-Duplicates Detection and Elimination Based on Web Provenance for Effective Web Search

Users of World Wide Web utilize search engines for information retrieval in web as search engines play a vital role in finding information on the web. However, the performance of a web search is greatly affected by flooding of search results with information that is redundant in nature i.e., existence of nearduplicates. Such near-duplicates holdup the other promising results to the users. Many of these near-duplicates are from distrusted websites and/or authors who host information on web. Such nearduplicates may be eliminated by means of Provenance. Thus, this paper proposes a novel approach to identify such near-duplicates based on provenance. In this approach a provenance model has been built using web pages which are the search results returned by existing search engine. The proposed model combines both content based and trust based factors for classifying the results as original or near-duplicates. Keywords— Web search, Near-duplicates, Provenance, Semantics,
Graph databases: A survey

In the era of big data, data analytics, business intelligence database management plays a vital role from technical business management and research point of view. Over many decades, database management has been a topic of active research. There are different type of database management system have been proposed over a period of time but Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) is the one which has been most popularly used in academic research as well as industrial setup[1]. In recent years, graph databases regained interest among the researchers for certain obvious reasons. One of the most important reasons for such an interest in a graph database is because of the inherent property of graphs as a graph structure. Graphs are present everywhere in the data structure, which represents the strong connectivity within the data. Most of the graph database models are defined in which data-structure for schema and instances are modeled as graph or generalization of a graph. In such graph database models, data manipulations are expressed by graph-oriented operations and type constructors [9]. Now days, most of the real world applications can be modeled as a graph and one of the best real world examples is social or biological network. This paper gives an overview of the different type of graph databases, applications, and comparison between their models based on some properties.
Researching Mental Health Disorders in the Era of Social Media: Systematic Review

BACKGROUND
Mental illness is quickly becoming one of the most prevalent public health problems worldwide. Social network platforms, where users can express their emotions, feelings, and thoughts, are a valuable source of data for researching mental health, and techniques based on machine learning are increasingly used for this purpose.


OBJECTIVE
The objective of this review was to explore the scope and limits of cutting-edge techniques that researchers are using for predictive analytics in mental health and to review associated issues, such as ethical concerns, in this area of research.


METHODS
We performed a systematic literature review in March 2017, using keywords to search articles on data mining of social network data in the context of common mental health disorders, published between 2010 and March 8, 2017 in medical and computer science journals.


RESULTS
The initial search returned a total of 5386 articles. Following a careful analysis of the titles, abstracts, and main texts, we selected 48 articles for review. We coded the articles according to key characteristics, techniques used for data collection, data preprocessing, feature extraction, feature selection, model construction, and model verification. The most common analytical method was text analysis, with several studies using different flavors of image analysis and social interaction graph analysis.


CONCLUSIONS
Despite an increasing number of studies investigating mental health issues using social network data, some common problems persist. Assembling large, high-quality datasets of social media users with mental disorder is problematic, not only due to biases associated with the collection methods, but also with regard to managing consent and selecting appropriate analytics techniques.
Exercise prescription for overhead athletes with shoulder pathology: a systematic review with best evidence synthesis.

OBJECTIVE
To produce a best evidence synthesis of exercise prescription used when treating shoulder pathology in the overhead athlete.


DESIGN
A systematic review of exercises used in overhead athletes including case studies and clinical commentaries.


DATA SOURCES
MEDLINE, PubMed, SPORTDiscus and CINAHL from database inception through July 8, 2016.


METHODS
We examined data from randomised controlled trials and prospective cohort (level I-IV evidence) studies that addressed exercise intervention in the rehabilitation of the overhead athlete with shoulder pathology. Case studies and clinical commentaries (level V evidence) were examined to account for expert opinion-based research. Data were combined using best evidence synthesis and graded (A-F) recommendations (Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine).


RESULTS
There were 33 unique exercises in six level I-IV studies that met our inclusion criteria. Most exercises were single-plane, upper extremity exercises performed below 90o of elevation. There were 102 unique exercises in 33 level V studies that met our inclusion criteria. These exercises emphasised plyometrics, kinetic chain and sport-specific training.


CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE
Overall, evidence for exercise interventions in overhead athletes with shoulder pathology is dominated by expert opinion (grade D). There is great variability between exercise approaches suggested by experts and those investigated in research studies and the overall level of evidence is low. The strongest available evidence (level B) supports the use of single-plane, open chain upper extremity exercises performed below 90° of elevation and closed chain upper extremity exercises. Clinical expert pieces support a more advanced, global treatment approach consistent with the complex, multidimensional nature of sport.
Blind grasping: Stable robotic grasping using tactile feedback and hand kinematics

We propose a machine learning approach to the perception of a stable robotic grasp based on tactile feedback and hand kinematic data, which we call blind grasping. We first discuss a method for simulating tactile feedback using a soft finger contact model in GraspIt!, which is a robotic grasping simulator [10]. Using this simulation technique, we compute tactile contacts of thousands of grasps with a robotic hand using the Columbia Grasp Database [6]. The tactile contacts along with the hand kinematic data are then input to a Support Vector Machine (SVM) which is trained to estimate the stability of a given grasp based on this tactile feedback and also the robotic hand kinematics. Experimental results indicate that the tactile feedback along with the hand kinematic data carry meaningful information for the prediction of the stability of a blind robotic grasp.
Document Page Segmentation and Layout Analysis Using Soft Ordering

A document image is composed of a variety of physical entities or regions such as text blocks, lines, words, figures, tables, and background. We could also assign functional or logical labels such as sentences, titles, captions, author names, and addresses to some of these regions. The process of document structure and layout analysis tries to decompose a given document image into its component regions and understand their functional roles and relationships. The processing is carried out in multiple steps, such as preprocessing, page decomposition, structure understanding, etc. We will look into each of these steps in detail in the following sections. Document images are often generated from physical documents by digitization using scanners or digital cameras. Many documents, such as newspapers, magazines and brochures, contain very complex layout due to the placement of figures, titles, and captions, complex backgrounds, artistic text formatting, etc. (see Figure 1). A human reader uses a variety of additional cues such as context, conventions and information about language/script, along with a complex reasoning process to decipher the contents of a document. Automatic analysis of an arbitrary document with complex layout is an extremely difficult task and is beyond the capabilities of the state-of-the-art document structure and layout analysis systems. This is interesting since documents are designed to be effective and clear to human interpretation unlike natural images.
Fast Eigenspace Approximation using Random Signals

We focus in this work on the estimation of the first k eigenvectors of any graph Laplacian using filtering of Gaussian random signals. We prove that we only need k such signals to be able to exactly recover as many of the smallest eigenvectors, regardless of the number of nodes in the graph. In addition, we address key issues in implementing the theoretical concepts in practice using accurate approximated methods. We also propose fast algorithms both for eigenspace approximation and for the determination of the kth smallest eigenvalue λk. The latter proves to be extremely efficient under the assumption of locally uniform distribution of the eigenvalue over the spectrum. Finally, we present experiments which show the validity of our method in practice and compare it to state-of-the-art methods for clustering and visualization both on synthetic smallscale datasets and larger real-world problems of millions of nodes. We show that our method allows a better scaling with the number of nodes than all previous methods while achieving an almost perfect reconstruction of the eigenspace formed by the first k eigenvectors.

Knowledge management technologies and applications - literature review from 1995 to 2002

This paper surveys knowledge management (KM) development using a literature review and classification of articles from 1995 to 2002 with keyword index in order to explore how KM technologies and applications have developed in this period. Based on the scope of 234 articles of knowledge management applications, this paper surveys and classifies KM technologies using the seven categories as: KM framework, knowledge-based systems, data mining, information and communication technology, artificial intelligence/expert systems, database technology, and modeling, together with their applications for different research and problem domains. Some discussion is presented, indicating future development for knowledge management technologies and applications as the followings: (1) KM technologies tend to develop towards expert orientation, and KM applications development is a problem-oriented domain. (2) Different social studies methodologies, such as statistical method, are suggested to implement in KM as another kind of technology. (3) Integration of qualitative and quantitative methods, and integration of KM technologies studies may broaden our horizon on this subject. (4) The ability to continually change and obtain new understanding is the power of KM technologies and will be the application of future works. q 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Cartoon-recognition using video & audio descriptors

We present a new approach for classifying mpeg-2 video sequences as `cartoon' or `non-cartoon' by analyzing specific video and audio features of consecutive frames in real-time. This is part of the well-known video-genre-classification problem, where popular TV-broadcast genres like cartoon, commercial, music, news and sports are studied. Such applications have also been discussed in the context of MPEG-7 [12]. In our method the extracted features from the visual descriptors are non-linearly combined using a multilayered perceptron and then considered together with the output of the audio-descriptor to produce a reliable recognition. The results demonstrate a high identification rate based on a large collection of 100 representative video sequences (20 cartoons and 4*20 non-cartoons) gathered from free digital TV-broadcasting.
