Topology-Based Modularity and Modularity Density for Detecting Protein Complexes: A Comparative Study

     Binary relations or interactions among bio-entities, such as proteins, set up the essential part of any living biological system. Protein-protein interactions are usually structured in a graph data structure called "protein-protein interaction networks" (PPINs). Analysis of PPINs into complexes tries to lay out the significant knowledge needed to answer many unresolved questions, including how cells are organized and how proteins work. However, complex detection problems fall under the category of non-deterministic polynomial-time hard (NP-Hard) problems due to their computational complexity. To accommodate such combinatorial explosions, evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are proven effective alternatives to heuristics in solving NP-hard problems. The main aim of this study is to make a close examination of the performance of the EAs where modularity and modularity density are selected as two different objective functions. Topology-based modularity and topology-based modularity density are designed to examine the detection ability of the EAs and to compare their performance. To conduct the experiments, two yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae PPINs are used and evaluated under nine evaluation metrics. The results reveal the potential impact of the topology-based modularity density to outperform the counterpart modularity functions in almost all evaluation metrics.

Indirect lmunofluorescent Antibody Test for Detecting Chlamydial Infection

A total of 243 serum samples  were tested  for the presence of

Chlamydia antibodies by ind irect immunofluorescent antibody test.Ninety

nine females were suffering from abortions, 64 were infertile and other 80 were  none  aborted  women.  The  incidence of  Ch lamydia  were  (15%,

9.4%)   and   (3.8%)   in  abortion,   infertile   and   non   aborted   group,

A Comparative Study Using LZW with Wavelet or DCT for Compressing Color Images

As a result of the significance of image compression in reducing the volume of data, the requirement for this compression permanently necessary; therefore, will be transferred more quickly using the communication channels and kept in less space in memory. In this study, an efficient compression system is suggested; it depends on using transform coding (Discrete Cosine Transform or bi-orthogonal (tap-9/7) wavelet transform) and LZW compression technique. The suggested scheme was applied to color and gray models then the transform coding is applied to decompose each color and gray sub-band individually. The quantization process is performed followed by LZW coding to compress the images. The suggested system was applied on a set of seven stand

The Privacy of the Insurance Contract for Self-Driving Cars: A Comparative Study

Developments in self-driving car technology have already begun to disrupt car manufacturing and insurance considerations. Likewise, new questions have arisen, especially if we know that their damage may be technical, so the technological error may also need to be considered with driver error, so these phenomena began to spark ideas. New information about who bears the risk, how insurance takes place, and the extent to which personal data is compromised when viewed by insurance companies.

The Right to Strike for State and Private Sector Employees in Iraqi Legislation : A comparative study

The majority of constitutions stipulate and regulate public rights and freedoms in them, including the right to strike as one of the means of expressing an opinion, which public officials or workers resort to in the labor law in order to improve their working conditions and achieve legitimate professional demands while continuing the work of the public facility, However, his capacity as a public servant imposes some restrictions on him in his exercise of political freedoms, including the right to strike because it intersects with the principle of the continuation of the regular and steady functioning of public utilities, which governs the work of public utilities in satisfying the public needs of individuals. The Iraqi legislator permitt

COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN A NOVEL DETERMINISTIC TEST FOR MERSENNE PRIMES AND THE WELL-KNOWN PRIMALITY TESTS

In this article, a new deterministic primality test for Mersenne primes is presented. It also includes a comparative study between well-known primality tests in order to identify the best test. Moreover, new modifications are suggested in order to eliminate pseudoprimes. The study covers random primes such as Mersenne primes and Proth primes. Finally, these tests are arranged from the best to the worst according to strength, speed, and effectiveness based on the results obtained through programs prepared and operated by Mathematica, and the results are presented through tables and graphs.

Interception of Criminal Prescription : A Comparative Study

Criminal prescription is a legal idea that we find its applications in most laws, It means that a period of time has passed since the occurrence of the crime, which is called the prescription of the criminal case or the crime, or the lapse of a period of time since the issuance of a final judgment in the criminal case, and it is called the prescription of the penalty, the lapse of the prescribed period will result in the expiry of the criminal case in the first case, and the lapse of the penalty imposed in the second case. This system has been found since ancient times in the legislation of countries with their various legal and political systems because of its practical considerations, the most important of which is achieving legal stab

Similarity and Difference between Sustainable and Green Architecture (a Comparative Study)

The research is concerned with studying the characteristics of Sustainable Architecture and Green Architecture, as a general research methodology related to the specific field of architecture, based on the differentiation between two generic concepts, Sustainability and Greening, to form the framework of the research specific methodology, where both concepts seem to be extremely overlapping for research centers, individuals, and relevant organizations. In this regard, the research tend towards searching their characteristics and to clearly differentiates between the two terms, particularly in architecture, where the research seeks understanding sustainable and green architectures, how they are so close or so far, and the

A study of analysis and comparison to the low nutrient density foods that more normality for children age (3 –5 years)

Through the early childhood and after the ablactating the child learns acquired food habbits that might studying with him throughout his life. Here the parents role arises: teaching the child the sound food habits and hygienic styles and whatever beneficial to the health and with the sufficient quantities for the body. In this way the experiences the child learns at home will be of great help in his future life in choosing the suitable food after becoming more dependent in making his decisions and choices away from his parents. The results in this study showed that the averages of the children’s consumption of the high energy foods in comparison with the other highest consumption average , after that comes the con sumption of soft drills

A Review: Protein Identification by LC-MS: Principles, Instrumentation, and Applications: Protein Identification by LC-MS

This review will focus on protein and peptide separation studies of the period 1995 to 2010. Peptide and protein analysis have developed dramatically after applying mass spectrometry (MS) technology and other related techniques, such as two-dimensional liquid chromatography and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Mass spectrometry involves measurements of mass-to-charge ratios of the ionized sample. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is an important technique that is usually applied before MS is conducted due to its efficient separation. Characterization of proteins provides a foundation for the fundamental understanding of biology aspects. In this review, instrumentation, principle, applications, developments, and accuracy o
