Multiple graph alignment (MGA) is a new approach to analyzing protein structure in order to exploring their functional similarity. In this article, we propose a twostage memetic algorithm to solve the MGA problem, named ACOMGA2, based on ant colony optimization metaheuristic. A local search procedur[r]
addressed largely through an eco-efficiency lens, the emergence and integrationof social and economic topics into the debate can be seen through the inclusionof ‘‘environmental justice’’ and ‘‘investment policies’’. The major strength ofCampus Ecology is its practicality as a clear, coherent[r]
Activity based costing Activitybased costing (ABC) is a costing methodology that identifies activities in an organization and assigns the cost of each activity with resources to all products and services according to the actual consumption by each. This model assigns more indirect costs (overhead)[r]
Substantial deviations from purchasing power parity (PPP) occur in the short run: the same basket of goods generally does not cost the same everywhere at all times. • These shortrun failures of the monetary approach prompted economists to develop an alternative theory to explain exchange rates[r]

Abstract — We present a novel approach to measuring similarity between shapes and exploit it for object recognition. In our framework, the measurement of similarity is preceded by 1) solving for correspondences between points on the two shapes, 2) using the correspondences to estimate an aligning tr[r]
The automated categorization (or classification) of texts into predefined categories has witnessed a booming interest in the last 10 years, due to the increased availability of documents in digital form and the ensuing need to organize them. In the research community the dominant approach to this prob[r]
The mobile user experience encompasses the user’s perceptions and feelings before, during and after their interaction with your mobile presence — be it through a browser or an app — using a mobile device that could lie anywhere on the continuum from lowend feature phone to highdefinition tablet.

Chapter 1: Environmental criteria for design: this chapter has been extensively revised to include the adaptive approach and thermal comfort criteria based on the outdoor running mean temperature for offices in both the free running mode (naturally ventilated and mixed mode buildings) and for sealed[r]
Finding motifs in gene sequences is one of the most important problems of bioinformatics and belongs to NPhard type. This paper proposes a new ant colony optimization algorithm based on consensus approach, in which a relax technique is applied to recognize the location of common motif. The efficienc[r]
Crowdsourcing—outsourcing a job to external contributors through an open call—has become an important part of innovation process and product development. However, many crowdsourcing initiatives fail due to low engagement and participation. In the current paper, we aim to explore how companies can e[r]
This title presents grammar through context, guiding students as they discover meaning. It combines this guided discovery approach with extensive formbased practice, ensuring that students have all the knowledge they need to use English grammar confidently and accurately.
