A Workflow Scheduling Method Based on the Combination of Tunicate Swarm Algorit...
Tian, Yujie; Zhu, Ming; Liu, Jing; Liu, Cong; Zhang, ZiyangWorkflow scheduling is critical for efficient cloud resource management. This paper proposes Tunicate Swarm-Highest Response Ratio Next, a novel scheduler that synergistically combines the Tunicate Swarm Algorithm with the Highest Response Ratio Next policy. The Tunicate Swarm Algorithm generates a cost-minimizing task-to-VM mapping scheme, while the Highest Response Ratio Next dynamically dispatches tasks in t...
MIBiG 4.0: advancing biosynthetic gene cluster curation through global collabor...
Zdouc, Mitja M.; Blin, Kai; Louwen, Nico L. L.; Navarro, Jorge; Loureiro, Catarina; Bader, Chantal D.; Bailey, Constance B.; Barra, LenaSpecialized or secondary metabolites are small molecules of biological origin, often showing potent biological activities with applications in agriculture, engineering and medicine. Usually, the biosynthesis of these natural products is governed by sets of co-regulated and physically clustered genes known as biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). To share information about BGCs in a standardized and machine-readabl...
OER-Miner
Wu, Youxi; Dong, Zhihong; Liu, Jing; Li, Yan; Liu, Cong; Wen, Lijie; Wu, XindongEpisode mining is an active subfield of data mining in which the aim is to retrieve important knowledge from temporal data and can be used to analyze fault reports and web navigation logs. However, existing methods generally do not consider time gap constraints, and overestimate the frequency of episodes, which may lead to mining a large number of episodes that users are not interested in. To tackle this proble...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-03-01; From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of ...

Circulating MicroRNA Expression Profiles in Patients with Stable and Unstable A...
Liu, Sudong; Guo, Xuemin; Zhong, Wei; Weng, Ruiqiang; Liu, Jing; Gu, Xiaodong; Zhong, ZhixiongOBJECTIVES: High incidence and case fatality of unstable angina (UA) is, to a large extent, a consequence of the lack of highly sensitive and specific non-invasive markers. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have been widely recommended as potential biomarkers for numerous diseases. In the present study, we characterized distinctive miRNA expression profiles in patients with stable angina (SA), UA, and normal coron...

Zhou, Bin; Bentham, James; Di Cesare, Mariachiara; Bixby, Honor; Danaei, Goodarz; Hajifathalian, Kaveh; Taddei, Cristina; Carrillo-Larco, Rodrigo M.Made available in DSpace on 2018-11-26T22:38:16Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2018-06-01; Wellcome Trust; Background: Change in the prevalence of raised blood pressure could be due to both shifts in the entire distribution of blood pressure (representing the combined effects of public health interventions and secular trends) and changes in its high-blood-pressure tail (representing successfu...

Abarca-Gómez, Leandra; Abdeen, Ziad A~.; Hamid, Zargar Abdul; Abu-Rmeileh, Niveen M.; Acosta-Cazares, Benjamin; Acuin, Cecilia; Adams, Robert J.Background Underweight, overweight, and obesity in childhood and adolescence are associated with adverse health consequences throughout the life-course. Our aim was to estimate worldwide trends in mean body-mass index (BMI) and a comprehensive set of BMI categories that cover underweight to obesity in children and adolescents, and to compare trends with those of adults. Methods We pooled 2416 population-based s...
Worldwide trends in blood pressure from 1975 to 2015: a pooled analysis of 1479...
Zhou, Bin; Bentham, James; Di Cesare, Mariachiara; Bixby, Honor; Danaei, Goodarz; Cowan, Melanie J; Paciorek, Christopher J; Singh, GitanjaliBackground Raised blood pressure is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease. We estimated worldwide trends in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of, and number of people with, raised blood pressure, defined as systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher. Methods For this analysis, we poo...
