Designing a suitable objective function is an essential step in successfully applying an evolutionary algorithm to a problem. In this study we apply a grammar-based Genetic Programming algorithm called Grammatical Evolution ...
A simple and efficient one-step procedure is described for the synthesis of a number of symmetrical 1,4-disubstituted piperazine-2,5-diones under phase transfer conditions. The reactions are carried out at
room temperature, ...
The dynamics of non-divergent flow on a rotating sphere are described by the conservation of absolute vorticity. The
analytical study of the non-linear barotropic vorticity equation is greatly facilitated by the expansion ...

A number of methods have been proposed over the last decade for embedding information within deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Since a DNA sequence is conceptually equivalent to a unidimensional digital signal, DNA data embedding ...
The so-called real-time web (RTW) is a web of opinions, comments, and personal viewpoints, often expressed in the form of short, 140-character text messages providing abbreviated and personalized commentary in real-time. ...
This paper firstly gives a brief overview of information embedding in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences and its applications. DNA data embedding can be considered as a particular case of communications with or without ...
Stock photo libraries are the most common means for publishers and advertisers to find images for their media. Searching for the
perfect photo can be a time-consuming and frustrating task. This is because searching is ...
Standards and engineering codes rule design, construction and operation of chemical plant equipments to ensure reliability and safety. In this paper, we exploit knowledge-based methodologies and technologies to guarantee ...
Pervasive systems present the need to interpret large quantities of data from many sources. Context models support developers working with such data by providing a shared representation of the environment on which to base ...
In this work we propose that the high volumes of data on real-time networks like Twitter can be harnessed as a useful source of recommendation knowledge. We describe Buzzer, a news recommendation system that is capable of ...
It is approximately 50 years since the first computational experiments were conducted in what has become known today as the field of Genetic Programming (GP), twenty years since John Koza named and popularised the method, ...
As the volume of information available online continues to grow, there is an increasing problem with information overload. This issue is also escalating in the spatial domain as the amount of geo-tagged information expands. ...
The existence of opioid receptors in mammalian myometrial tissue is now widely accepted. Previously enkephalin degrading enzymes have been shown to be elevated in pregnant rat uterus and a met-enkephalin analogue has been ...
Non-Negative matrix factorization (NMF) has emerged as an important technique for simplifying high-dimension data into interpretable factors. NMF has the attractive characteristic that the factor matrices are naturally ...
We have demonstrated an efficient extreme ultraviolet (EUV) source at 6.7 nm by irradiating Gd targets with 0.8 and 1.06 μm laser pulses of 140 fs to 10 ns duration. Maximum conversion efficiency of 0.4% was observed within ...
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is of particular relevance to those who may suffer from Alzheimer’s Disease or dementia, and, of course, their carers. The slow but progressive nature of the disease, together with its ...
New sal2(trien) ligands that contain alkoxy substituents of various length in meta position of the salicyl entities were coordinated to electronically and magnetically active iron(III) and cobalt(III) centers. The ...
Ostrowski showed that there are intimate connections between the gap structure of a Taylor series and the behaviour of its partial sums outside the disk of convergence. This paper investigates the corresponding problem for ...
Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a profound vision of computing power that is invisibly embedded into the fabric of everyday life. It is accessible through intelligent interfaces which are so natural that they can be used ...
The peptide-derived glyoxal inhibitor Z-Ala-Ala-Phe-glyoxal has been shown to be ~10 fold more effective as an inhibitor of subtilisin than Z-Ala-Pro-Phe-glyoxal. Signals at 107.2 p.p.m. and 200.5 p.p.m. are observed for ...
