Control of aggregation, by lowering temperature and protein concentrations, can enhance the extent of successful refolding. The low temperature has been used in protein folding studies, as undesired aggregations often occur at higher temperatures. Therefore, it is very important to study the effects...

There has been an increasing interest in integrating decision support systems (DSS) and expert systems (ES) to provide decision makers a more accessible, productive and domain-independent information and computing environment. This paper is aimed at designing a multiple expert systems integrated dec...

An ontology is a conceptualisation of domain knowledge. It is employed in semantic web services technologies to describe the meanings of services so that they can be dynamically searched for and composed according to their meanings. It is essential for dynamic service discovery, composition, and inv...

A class of chaotic map called piecewise-quadratic-equation map to design feedback stream cipher is proposed. Such map can generate chaotic signals that have uniform distribution function, δ-like autocorrelation function. Compared with the piecewise-linear map, this map provides enhanced secur...

Given a set U which is consisted of strings defined on alphabet 2, string cross pattern matching is to find all the matches between every two strings in U. It is utilized in text processing like removing the duplication of strings. This paper presents a fast string cross pattern matching algorithm b...
