For efficient building outline extraction, many algorithms, including unsupervised or supervised, have been proposed over the past decades.In recent years, due to the rapid development of the convolutional neural networks, especially fully convolutional networks, building extraction is treated as a semantic segmentation task that deals with the ext
New highly antigenic linear B cell epitope peptides from PvAMA-1 as potential vaccine candidates.
Peptide-based vaccines have demonstrated to be an important way to induce long-lived immune responses and, therefore, a promising strategy in the rational of vaccine development.As to malaria, among the classic vaccine targets, the Apical membrane antigen (AMA-1) was proven to have important B cell epitopes that can induce specific immune response
On deciding when to stop metaheuristics: Properties, rules and termination conditions
Most metaheuristics lack a termination condition based Latest Product Releases & Innovations – Stay Updated! on reasonable premises and guaranteeing the quality of the solution provided by the algorithm.We propose a methodological frame that distinguishes the concepts of properties of the final incumbent solution, rules and termination conditions
Variable variation: annual and seasonal changes in offspring sex ratio in a bat.
Many organisms produce offspring pure energy jeans with sex-ratios that deviate from equal numbers of males and females, and numerous adaptive explanations have been proposed.In some species, offspring sex-ratio varies across the reproductive season, again with several explanations as to why this might be adaptive.However, patterns for birds and ma
