A Proposed Syntax For Minimotif Semantics, Version 1., Jay Vyas, Ronald J. Nowling, Mark W. Maciejewski, Sanguthevar Rajasekaran, Michael R. Gryk, Martin R. Schiller

Life Sciences Faculty Research

BACKGROUND:

One of the most important developments in bioinformatics over the past few decades has been the observation that short linear peptide sequences (minimotifs) mediate many classes of cellular functions such as protein-protein interactions, molecular trafficking and post-translational modifications. As both the creators and curators of a database which catalogues minimotifs, Minimotif Miner, the authors have a unique perspective on the commonalities of the many functional roles of minimotifs. There is an obvious usefulness in standardizing functional annotations both in allowing for the facile exchange of data between various bioinformatics resources, as well as the internal clustering of sets of …

A Fair Assignment Algorithm For Multiple Preference Queries, Leong Hou U, Nikos Mamoulis, Kyriakos Mouratidis

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Consider an internship assignment system, where at the end of each academic year, interested university students search and apply for available positions, based on their preferences (e.g., nature of the job, salary, office location, etc). In a variety of facility, task or position assignment contexts, users have personal preferences expressed by different weights on the attributes of the searched objects. Although individual preference queries can be evaluated by selecting the object in the database with the highest aggregate score, in the case of multiple simultaneous requests, a single object cannot be assigned to more than one users. The challenge is …

A Framework For Superimposed Applications : Techniques To Represent, Access, Transform, And Interchange Bi-Level Information, Sudarshan Srivivasa Murthy

Dissertations and Theses

Superimposed applications (SAs) superimpose (that is, overlay) new information and structures (such as annotations) on parts (such as sub-documents) of existing base information (BI). In this setting, SA developers and users work with bi-level information, a combination of the superimposed information and the referenced BI parts.

We have designed a framework to assist SAs in the following bi-level-information-management activities: representation, access, transformation, and interchange. This framework defines the abstraction context agent to activate any BI part and to retrieve information from the context of the part. It includes means to represent and access bi-level information in a conceptual model (the …

Development Of A Data Acquisition System For An Ecommerce Website, Paul Hughes

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)

First Stop Sports (http://www.firststopsports.com) is a small sports collectibles and memorabilia eCommerce company, specializing in NFL and NCAA collectible football helmets and other sports memorabilia. First Stop Sports current web site has shown some inadequacies and limited capabilities with historical customer ordering information capture. "They are struggling to advance business development and increase revenue.? It is the scope of this project to investigate, design, and develop a prototype data acquisition system for First Stop Sports. This prototype would only focus on one specific product line, but it would need to have the same look, feel and functionality as the existing …

Localized Monitoring Of Knn Queries In Wireless Sensor Networks, Yuxia Yao, Xueyan Tang, Ee Peng Lim

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

Wireless sensor networks have been widely used in civilian and military applications. Primarily designed for monitoring purposes, many sensor applications require continuous collection and processing of sensed data. Due to the limited power supply for sensor nodes, energy efficiency is a major performance concern in query processing. In this paper, we focus on continuous kNN query processing in object tracking sensor networks. We propose a localized scheme to monitor nearest neighbors to a query point. The key idea is to establish a monitoring area for each query so that only the updates relevant to the query are collected. The monitoring …
