NeoFox: annotating neoantigen candidates with neoantigen features
2020
Abstract Summary The detection and prediction of true neoantigens is of great importance for the field of cancer immunotherapy. Wesearched the literature for proposed neoantigen features and integrated them into a toolbox called NEOantigen Feature toolbOX (NeoFox). NeoFox is an easy-to-use Python package that enables the annotation of neoantigen candidates with 16 neoantigen features. Availability and implementation NeoFox is freely available as an open source Python package released under the GNU General Public License (GPL) v3 license at https://github.com/TRON-Bioinformatics/neofox. Supplementary information Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
On the definition of generic multi-layered ontologies for urban applications
2000
Cooperation of information systems is essential for providing decision support for urban management applications. This involves sharing data across collections of the heterogeneous information systems that are used to manage large urban infrastructures. The objective of this work is to define a spatial ontology to describe key features of urban applications, providing a foundation for semantic reconciliation among heterogeneous spatial information sources. We propose a multi-layered ontologies definition framework consisting of ontology layers which are composed of a generic functional structure and one or more domain ontologies. The functional structure embodies general ontological concept…
Do graphical overviews facilitate or hinder comprehension in hypertext?
2009
Educational hypertexts usually include graphical overviews, conveying the structure of the text schematically with the aim of fostering comprehension. Despite the claims about their relevance, there is currently no consensus on the impact that hypertext overviews have on the reader's comprehension. In the present paper we have explored how hypertext overviews might affect comprehension with regard to (a) the time at which students read the overview and (b) the hypertext difficulty. The results from two eye-tracking studies revealed that reading a graphical overview at the beginning of the hypertext is related to an improvement in the participant's comprehension of quite difficult hypertexts…
Measuring destination image an approach by an attribute‐based analysis
2001
Product image formation process is a valuable insight for correct understanding of consumer behaviour. When product is a tourism destination, image formation is even more important due to the inability of pretest the tourist product. This framework gives place to the present research on tourism destination image. The paper starts with a litterature review on the meaning and measurement of destination image divided into two main approaches: the conceptual and the methodological. Secondly, the results of an empirical investigation are reported: it deals with the assessment of attribute‐based destination image of sun and beach resorts on the Spanish Mediterranean coast. The aim and contributio…
TB-Structure: Collective Intelligence for Exploratory Keyword Search
2017
In this paper we address an exploratory search challenge by presenting a new (structure-driven) collaborative filtering technique. The aim is to increase search effectiveness by predicting implicit seeker’s intents at an early stage of the search process. This is achieved by uncovering behavioral patterns within large datasets of preserved collective search experience. We apply a specific tree-based data structure called a TB (There-and-Back) structure for compact storage of search history in the form of merged query trails – sequences of queries approaching iteratively a seeker’s goal. The organization of TB-structures allows inferring new implicit trails for the prediction of a seeker’s i…
A Morphosyntactical Complementary Structure for Searching and Browsing
2006
This paper is a proposal for the construction of a pseudo-net built with precisely defined tokens describing the content and structure of the original WWW. This construction is derived by morphosyntactical analysis and should be structured with a post-processing mechanism. It is provided also an in-depth analysis of requirements and hypothesis to be stated to accomplish with this goal. An in-depth analysis of requirements and hypothesis to be stated to accomplish this goal is also provided. Such derived structure could act as an alternate network theme organization with a compacted version of the original web material. This paper does not describe nor study the post-processing approaches. I…
On the relevance of script writing basics in audiovisual translation practice and training
2012
Audiovisual texts possess characteristics that clearly differentiate audiovisual translation from both oral and written translation, and prospective screen translators are usually taught about the issues that typically arise in audiovisual translation. This article argues for the development of an interdisciplinary approach that brings together Translation Studies and Film Studies, which would prepare future audiovisual translators to work with the nature and structure of a script in mind, in addition to the study of common and diverse translational aspects. Focusing on film, the article briefly discusses the nature and structure of scripts, and identifies key points in the development and …
Medical Discourse and Academic Genres
2006
This article is designed to give a detailed description of medical English from a genre analysis perspective. First, the relevance of medical communication and the significance of genre to account for communicative events in this discipline are presented. Different medical genres are then described in detail in terms of their language use and macrostructural patterns. The rhetorical structure of review articles, research articles, and case reports, among the written medical genres, is analyzed.
Methods for defining user groups and user-adjusted information structures
1999
A common problem in the design of information systems is how to structure the information in a way that is most useful to different groups of users. This paper describes some statistical methods for revealing the structure inherent in empirical data elicited from users. It is illustrated by the application of these methods to the design of some web pages giving information about the Universitat de Valencia. Three potential user groups were identified, administrative staff, teaching staff and students. The first analysis demonstrated that users within these three groups assign relatively homogeneous structures, but that the structures assigned by the three groups are not the same, and also, …
Educación y Sostenibilidad en la Universidad de Valencia: construyendo futuro desde el pasado
2019
Una práctica académica de calidad en educación superior requiere estructuras institucionales que apoyen los principios de la Sostenibilidad y los lleven a la práctica, pero también requiere profesorado que esté motivado y capaz de impregnar su forma de enseñar y las materias que enseña desde criterios y valores relacionados con la sostenibilidad. El contexto de este trabajo es la educación e investigación para la sostenibilidad (EIpS) en la Universitat de València (UV) en los últimos 12 años. El método utilizado ha sido el Análisis de documentos que siguiendo los criterios de pertinencia, exhaustividad y actualidad ha permitido encontrar la información necesaria para desarrollar el estudio …
