The increasing use of temporal and spatial data in presentday relational systems necessitates an efficient support of joins on interval-valued attributes. Standard join algorithms...
Background: We performed an exhaustive search for local structural similarities in an ensemble of non-redundant protein functional sites. With the purpose of finding new examples ...
We propose to use object-relational database management systems to store and manage semi-structured data. ORA-SS (Object-Relationship-Attribute model for Semi-Structured data) [9]...
There are today several systems for predicting transmembrane domains in membrane protein sequences. As they are based on different classifiers as well as different pre- and post-p...
This paper presents a methodology to derive views over a relational database by applying a sequence of appropriately defined operations to the global schema. Such tailoring and com...
