The nature of trust in business relationships is dynamic rather than static. Trust has evolutionary phases or a life cycle. This pattern of evolution can be described as building, maintaining and destroying. Building trust comes at high cost and hard effort. Therefore, once trust has been established in a business relationship, every effort must be made to maintain it. Maintaining trust can be defined...
Gene regulation is one of the most important processes in the molecular biology, in the last years the microRNA molecule, one of the non-coding RNAs involved in the process, has been the focus of attention for several studies. The computational research on this area has gained a notable importance, considering the low amount of experimental information available and the lack of understanding of the...
Ontology engineering has been fully or partially practiced by knowledge engineers or knowledge workers, towards delivering either fully fledged conceptualizations of domains or providing lightweight ontology versions for less demanding but more frequent knowledge tasks. Domain-specific information can be shaped into ontologies either manually or (semi-)automatically using ontology learning techniques...
Ribonuclease 3 (RNase3) is a member of the human RNaseA superfamily. It is led by a 27-residue signal peptide and secreted into body fluid to eliminate the infection of microbial pathogens in innate immune systems. The signal peptide of RNase3 (RNase3sp) not only directs protein secretion via endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus, but also its N-terminal 17 amino acid residues (RNase3sp1-17)...
This paper presents Smoothed Pointing, a velocity-based precision enhancing technique for remote pointing by means of absolute devices. After discussing the most recent related work concerning the problem of accuracy in remote pointing by handheld input devices, we introduce the distinctive features of the control-to-display ratio adaptation technique we have designed to: i) reduce the effect of both...
Free of most social constraints, elderly people tend to perform activities of daily living following the same sequence. This paper proposes a method for medical telesurveillance to detect and quantify a nycthemeral shift in this daily routine. While this common phenomenon is mostly mild, in acute cases, however, it may reveal a pathological behavior requiring a rapid medical examination. This method...
The SERSCIS project aims to support the use of interconnected systems of services in Critical Infrastructure (CI) applications. The problem of system interconnectedness is aptly demonstrated by 'Airport Collaborative Decision Making' (A-CDM). Failure or underperformance of any of the interlinked ICT systems may compromise the ability of airports to plan their use of resources to sustain high levels...
