Machine Learning and Computational Intelligence are rapidly growing fields of research in both academia and industry. Artificial neural networks are at the heart of much of this research. Efficiently constructing and ...
Algorithms for Optimal Energy Management in the Smart Grid
(2015-07-02)
Smart grid (SG) is regarded as the next generation power grid, which implements an innovative idea for a highly automated and integrated power system.
The two-way energy and information flows in the SG, together with the ...
Algorithms for Task Scheduling in Heterogeneous Computing Environments
(2006-12-15)
Current heterogeneous meta-computing systems, such as computational clusters and grids offer a low cost alternative to supercomputers. In addition they are highly scalable and flexible. They consist of a host of diverse ...
Alkaline Pretreatment of Biomass for Ethanol Production and Understanding the Factors Influencing the Cellulose Hydrolysis
(2008-05-15)
Alkaline pretreatments were investigated in connection with bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass into ethanol. Corn stover and two different batches of hybrid poplar (High Lignin (HL) and Low Lignin (LL)) were the ...
All You Need is Tensor Decomposition: A Better Understanding of Sparse Tensors
(2023-04-26)
Tensor is widely employed in data sciences to represent multi-dimensional information. Due to the low-rank nature of many tensors in the real world, predicting the unobserved entries of a partially observed tensor has ...
Allele-specific Expression of Ribosomal Protein Genes in Interspecific Hybrid Catfish
(2015-07-24)
Interspecific hybridization results in a vast reservoir of allelic variations, which may potentially contribute to phenotypical enhancement in the hybrids. Whether the allelic variations are related to the downstream ...
Alleviating Escape Panic Using Evolutionary Intelligence
(2006-05-15)
Reducing damage, danger, and panic by evolving room designs is possible with artificial intelligence. Escape panic, brought on by groups of people being in a life-threatening situation, increases the fatality rate and ...
Allosteric modulation of human melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) by zinc and copper ions and characterization of spotted sea bass MC4R
(2020-07-20)
Since the metal ions have been shown to play an important role in regulating signal transduction of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), we investigated whether the Zn2+ and Cu2+ regulate the pharmacology of human ...
Allylic Oxidation of Steroidal Compounds Using Vanadyl Acetylacetonate and Tert-butyl Hydroperoxide
(2015-07-29)
Allylic oxidation is an important reaction in steroid chemistry. Previously reported methods have various limits which do not apply when using vanadyl acetylacetonate and tert-butyl hydroperoxide. These limits include ...
Almost Resolvable Maximum Packings of Complete Bipartite Graphs with 4-Cycles
(2012-07-17)
A packing of a complete bipartite graph K(m,n) with 4-cycles is a decomposition of K(m,n) into a collection C of edge-disjoint 4-cycles and a set of unused edges L referred to as the leave. If C is as large as possible ...
Altered Expression Profiles and Defects in a Group of Cell Cycle Regulators and Tumor Suppressor Genes (INK4) and Evaluation of Comprehensive Expression Profiles of Canine miRNAs in Spontaneous Canine Breast Cancer Models
(2014-12-10)
The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors (CKIs) act as powerful cell cycle regulators and endogenous tumor suppressors. Defects in members of the INK4A/B CKI tumor suppressors have been associated with human and canine ...
Altered temporal changes in Ser312-phosphofetuin-A concentrations in response to a glucose challenge in a mouse model of diet-induced obesity and insulin resistance
(2012-07-25)
Recent studies have implicated a role for the liver-secreted glycoprotein fetuin-A in insulin resistance. Fetuin-A negatively regulates insulin action by interacting with the activated insulin receptor and inhibiting ...
