During the viral infection and replication processes, viral proteins are highly regulated and may interact with host proteins. However, the functions and interaction partners of many viral proteins have yet to be explored. Here, we compiled a Viral Protein domain DataBase (VIP DB) to associate viral proteins with putative functions and interaction partners. We systematically assign domains and infer the functions of proteins and their protein interaction partners from their domain annotations. A total of 2,322 unique domains that were identified from 2,404 viruses are used as a starting point to correlate GO classification, KEGG metabolic pathway annotation and domain-domain interactions. Of the unique domains, 42.7% have GO records, 39.6% have at least one domain-domain interaction record and 26.3% can also be found in either mammals or plants. This database provides a resource to help virologists identify potential roles for viral protein. All of the information is available at http://vipdb.cgu.edu.tw. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.

Light-guide plates (LGPs) with aperiodic or size-varied microstructures are widely used in edge-lit light-source backlight systems for their high uniformity. In this Letter we designed a LGP with periodic and single-sized microstructures and analyzed the relationship between the holistic arrangement density of the microstructures and the uniformity. By controlling the holistic arrangement density of the microstructures, the uniformity could also be increased. (c) 2012 Optical Society of America

In this work, the effect of hydrogen dilution on the Ge content of the film and the effect of bandgap grading in the a-S1-xGex:H absorber near the p/i and the i/n interfaces on cell performance were discussed. The a-Si1-xGex:H single-junction solar cells were improved by employing both p/i grading and i/n grading. The i/n grading increased the V-OC and the FF while it also reduced the J(SC) as compared to the cell without grading. Presumably the potential gradient established by the i/n grading facilitates the hole transport hereby improved by the FF. On the contrary, the potential barrier established by the p/i grading seemed to limit the cell performance and constrain the p/i grading width below 20 nm due to the drop in FF and J(SC). Combining the effects of bandgap grading on the V-OC, J(SC) and FF, the suitable thicknesses of the p/i and the i/n grading were 20 nm and 45 nm, respectively. Finally, the grading structures accompanied with further optimization in doped layers were integrated to achieve a cell efficiency of 8.59%. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

This study investigates the effect of Web-based Chemistry Problem-Solving, with the attributes of Web-searching and problem-solving scaffolds, on undergraduate students' problem-solving task performance. In addition, the nature and extent of Web-searching strategies students used and its correlation with task performance and domain knowledge also were examined. We recruited a total of 183 undergraduate students, all of whom are taking the freshman chemistry course, to participate in the study to solve three chemistry tasks across a semester. Mandated screen-capture software captured participants' on-screen Web-searching processes were recorded every five seconds. Results demonstrated that students' problem-solving performance was significantly improved from task 1 to 3, and students with more domain knowledge outperformed students with less domain knowledge. Students with higher problem-solving performance employed more existing knowledge and metacognitive Web-searching strategies; and students with lower problem-solving performance employed more cognitive Web-searching strategies. In addition, students' problem-solving performance was correlated with their domain knowledge, use of existing knowledge, and metacognitive Web-searching strategies. Moreover, students' use of existing knowledge was the major factor for predicting their problem-solving performance according to the regression model. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The use of dimension reduction techniques has attracted considerable attention owing to information explosion. Without considering the underlying phenomena of interest, traditional dimension reduction approaches aim to search a feature set for optimizing performance. In recommending entertainment videos, beyond the successful recommendations, marketing strategy can be benefited from interpreting precise social context information accurately. Therefore, how to find an easy-to-explain feature set to achieve optimal prediction performance becomes an important issue. In this paper, we propose a three-phase feature synthesis approach to search heuristically optimal feature set within exponential easy-to-explain features. The first phase performs feature selection by screening low-informative features, the second phase shrinks the high-dependent feature subset, and the third phase enhances the dominated features. An implemented social recommendation system and the 11 months purchasing data from the largest commercial entertainment video Web shop in Taiwan are adopted to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed feature synthesis method in the experiments. The experimental results show that our approach can obtain the interpretable clustering results as well as improve the recommendation. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

We perform the mathematical derivation of the compressible and incompressible Euler equations from the modulated nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation. Before the formation of singularities in the limit system, the nonrelativistic-semiclassical limit is shown to be the compressible Euler equations. If we further rescale the time variable, then in the semiclassical limit (the light speed kept fixed), the incompressible Euler equations are recovered. The proof involves the modulated energy introduced by Brenier (2000) [1]. (C) 2012 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

"We consider the dynamic rationing problem for inventory systems with multiple demand classes and general demand processes. We assume that backorders are allowed. Our aim is to find the threshold values for this dynamic rationing policy. For single period systems, dynamic critical level policy is developed and the detailed cost approximation subject to this policy is derived. For multiperiod systems, a dynamic rationing policy with periodic review is proposed. The numerical study shows that our dynamic critical level policies are close to being optimal for various parameter settings. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved."

This study reports the use of monodisperse Au nanoparticles (NPs) as a catalyst for growing silica nanorings (NRs) and nanowires (NWs). Combining spin coating and optical lithography strategies makes it possible to fabricate pattern-monolayer Au NPs that self-assemble on a 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS)-modified silicon substrate. This can be used as a catalyst for the selective-area growth of silica NRs and NWs. Cathodoluminescence (CL) analysis reveals these NRs and NWs materials exhibit a blue-light emitting phenomenon. The novel optical properties of these materials are advantageous in applications for light-emitting devices with nanoscale dimensions.

The spectrum of core excitations of the Abrikosov vortex pinned by a dielectric inclusion or nanoholes of the size of the coherence length is considered using the Bogoliubov-deGennes equations beyond the semiclassical approximation. While the lowest excitation, mini-gap, in the unpinned (or pinned by a metallic defect) vortex is of the order of Delta(2)/epsilon(F), it becomes of the order of the superconducting gap Delta. The reconstruction of the quasiparticle excitations' spectrum has a significant impact on optical properties and on the tunneling density of states. We calculate the absorption amplitude and point out that, while in STM the energy gap Delta(DOS) is between a quasiparticles state with angular momentum mu(e) = mu(s) > 1/2 and quasi-hole with mu(h) = mu(s) the microwave absorption gap, Delta(dir) is between states with mu(e) = mu(h) + 1. It is shown that Delta(dir) > Delta(DOS). The large mini-gap might play a role in magneto-transport phenomena broadly associated with the "superconductor-insulator" transition in quasi 2D systems in which small insulating inclusions are generally present.

This study explores the dynamic allocation of check-in facilities and dynamic assignment of passengers at air terminals to achieve the objectives of minimizing total waiting time and better utilization of facilities. Taking into consideration different check-in services required by departing passengers, adjustments to allocations are made according to the maximum allowable wait time and the lowest service counter utilization rate allowed for the initial allocation condition. The developed model was validated for its feasibility and applied at the Taoyuan International Airport, Taiwan. The application results showed that dynamic allocation of check-in facilities can both reduce waiting times and increase service counter utilization rates. Such benefits can be further enhanced by dynamic assignment of passengers. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
