Motivation: To test whether protein folding constraints and secondary structure sequence preferences significantly reduce the space of amino acid words in proteins, we compared th...
Abstract: Reo is a language for coordinating autonomous components in distributed environments. Coordination in Reo is performed by circuit-like connectors, which are constructed f...
Current object-oriented approaches to distributed programs may be criticized in several respects. First, method calls are generally synchronous, which leads to much waiting in dis...
Grid computing intends to share heterogeneous resources in dynamic service-based environments. This kind of systems has the major advantages of enabling rapid composition of distr...
The recent advancement of solid freeform fabrication, design techniques and fundamental understanding of material properties in functionally graded materials has made it possible ...
