An object detection pipeline comprises a camera that captures the scene and an object detector that processes these images. The quality of the images directly affects the performance of the object detector. Current works focus on independently improving the image quality or object detection models but neglect the importance of joint optimization of the two subsystems. This paper aims to tune the detection throughput and accuracy of existing object detectors in the remote sensing scenario by optimizing the input images tailored to the object detector. We empirically analyze the influence of two selected camera calibration parameters (camera distortion correction and gamma correction) and five image parameters (quantization, compression, resolution, color model, and additional channels) for these applications. For our experiments, we utilize three Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) data sets from different domains and a mixture of large and small state-of-the-art object detector models to provide an extensive evaluation of the influence of the pipeline parameters. Finally, we realize an object detection pipeline prototype on an embedded platform for a UAV and give a best practice recommendation for building object detection pipelines based on our findings. We show that not all parameters have an equal impact on detection accuracy and data throughput. Using a suitable compromise between parameters, we can achieve higher detection accuracy for lightweight object detection models while keeping the same data throughput.

Similar to other approaches, we also model free space, which allows us to obtain occupancy probabilities. Additionally, we provide optional visibility based updates to enhance map consistency in case of noisy data, e.g. from stereo cameras. Unlike other available implementations, our approach is natively applicable to large-scale environments and in real-time, because our maps are able to grow dynamically. This also offers applicability to exploration tasks. To evaluate our approach, we present experimental results on publicly available datasets and discuss the mapping efficiency in terms of accuracy, runtime and memory management. As an exemplary use case, we apply our maps to Monte Carlo Localization on a well-known large-scale dataset.},

abstract = {Robotic systems differ drastically in their sensory capabilities, their computational power and their designated tasks. For efficient algorithm development, however, we need to have a common modeling framework that enables us to generalize and re-use existing solutions. A modular approach, which is coherent across different platforms, also allows faster prototyping of new systems, given that existing functionality can be reused from already implemented modules. In this paper we develop a modeling framework based on data flow graphs that achieves the following goal: We first merge synchronous data flow and reactive programming into hybrid flow graphs, where we explicitly model synchronous and asynchronous data flow. Then we transfer concepts from finite-state machines to achieve a coherent framework which we call Activity Flow Graphs. The flow of activity enables us to model high level states directly in the data flow graph. The result is a single computation graph that can express both perception and high level control aspects of any robotic system. This theoretical foundation is the core of our open-source software framework CS::APEX, which allows the creation, manipulation and evaluation of Activity Flow Graphs and enables rapid prototyping and experimentation and can be used with any robot supporting the Robot Operating System (ROS). We then demonstrate the framework with two high level models for a fetch-and-delivery robot and a person following robot.},

show that particularly deep neural regression networks are able to learn

Our approach is based on line segments to determine the support points instead of uniformly selecting them over the image range. This way we find very informative support points which preserve the depth discontinuity. The prior of our Bayesian stereo matching method is based on a set of line segments and a set of support points. Both sets are plugged into a constrained Delaunay triangulation to generate a triangulation mesh which is aware of possible depth discontinuities. We further increased the accuracy by using an adaptive method to sample candidate points along edge segments.},

We analyze the iterative optimizations for pose tracking and map refinement of visual \{SLAM\} in multi-camera cases. The analysis ensures the soundness and accuracy of each optimization update. A well-known monocular visual \{SLAM\} system is extended to utilize two cameras with non-overlapping fields of view (FOVs) in the final implementation. The resulting visual \{SLAM\} system enables autonomous navigation of an \{MAV\} in complex scenarios. The theory behind this system can easily be extended to multi-camera configurations, when the onboard computational capability allows this. For operations in large-scale environments, we modify the resulting visual \{SLAM\} system to be a constant-time robust visual odometry. To form a full visual \{SLAM\} system, we further implement an efficient back-end for loop closing. The back-end maintains a keyframe-based global map, which is also used for loop-closure detection. An adaptive-window pose-graph optimization method is proposed to refine keyframe poses of the global map and thus correct pose drift that is inherent in the visual odometry. We demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed visual \{SLAM\} system for applications onboard of \{MAVs\} in experiments with both autonomous and manual flights. The pose tracking results are compared with ground truth data provided by an external tracking system. }

abstract = {The late detection of non-genotoxic carcinogens in the drug development process can delay drug candidates for unmet medical needs from reaching the market despite considerable investments in their development. To enable faster, safer, and less expensive development of medications for patients, the MARCAR project generated a large set of transcriptomic data to investigate the underlying mechanisms of non-genotoxic hepatocarcinogenesis and to identify potential biomarkers for early detection of tumor formation in the rodent liver. The effective mining of these high-dimensional datasets is a non-trivial task that usually requires bioinformatics support to extract relevant mechanistic patterns and confirm toxicological hypotheses. Here, we present MARCARviz, a web-platform that enables biologists to (a) quickly address the most common questions associated with the MARCAR microarray data, to (b) identify relevant patterns in the data, and to (c) generate or confirm mechanistic hypotheses about non-genotoxic effects leading to cancer formation. The major advantage of MARCARviz is that there is no software or advanced technical knowledge required to perform powerful analyses and generate visualizations of the MARCAR data. MARCARviz greatly facilitates the confirmation of published MARCAR results and generation of new insights from the collected data by the greater public without the requirement for tedious pre-processing steps.

abstract = {For navigation of mobile robots in real-world scenarios, accurate
and robust localization is a fundamental requirement. In this
work we present an efficient localization approach based on adaptive
Monte Carlo Localization (AMCL) for large-scale indoor navigation, using
vector-based CAD floor plans. The approach is able to use the line
segment data of these plans directly. In order to minimize the computational
effort, a visibility lookup table is generated, reducing the amount
of line segments to process for pose estimation. In addition, we show that
the proposed approach performs well in cluttered as well as uncluttered
environments. It is compared with grid map-based AMCL and is able to
improve its results in terms of memory usage and accuracy.},

graph. The development of new perception algorithms is often an iterative
process, involving the investigation of a set of parameters and their
in uence on the system. The amount of immediate feedback available to
the developer can make these in uences more obvious and can therefore
speed up development. We present a framework based on synchronous
dataflow and event-based message passing that forms the basis of a visual
programming language for rapid prototyping of robotic perception systems.
We explicitly model algorithmic parameters in the dataflow graph,

and interactive manipulation of dataflow algorithms and an independent

Assuming that the robot moves on a ground plane while the environment itself can have arbitrary geometry allows to estimate the frame to frame motion from orthographic projections of the RGBD-data. Instead of directly aligning these projections, the reference frame is split into blocks, which are individually registered using Efficient Second Order Minimization, and thus create several estimates of the current motion. These estimates are combined using an outlier rejection scheme to create a robust estimate of the actual motion even under challenging conditions. The results of this method are compared to the results of other state-of-the-art methods to show its accuracy and robustness.},

title = {Evaluation of Rate Law Approximations in Bottom-up Kinetic Models of
Metabolism},
journal = {BMC Systems Biology},
month = jun,
year = {2016},
abstract = {Background: The mechanistic description of enzyme kinetics in a
dynamic model of metabolism requires specifying the numerical values of a
large number of kinetic parameters. The parameterization challenge is often
addressed through the use of simplifying approximations to form reaction
rate laws with reduced numbers of parameters. Whether such simplified models
can reproduce dynamic characteristics of the full system is an important
question.
Results: In this work, we compared the local transient response properties
of dynamic models constructed using rate laws with varying levels of
approximation. These approximate rate laws were: 1) a Michaelis-Menten rate
law with measured enzyme parameters, 2) a Michaelis-Menten rate law with
approximated parameters, using the convenience kinetics convention, 3) a
thermodynamic rate law resulting from a metabolite saturation assumption,
and 4) a pure chemical reaction mass action rate law that removes the role
of the enzyme from the reaction kinetics. We utilized in vivo data for the
human red blood cell to compare the effect of rate law choices against the
backdrop of physiological flux and concentration differences. We found that
the Michaelis-Menten rate law with measured enzyme parameters yields an
excellent approximation of the full system dynamics, while other assumptions
cause greater discrepancies in system dynamic behavior. However, iteratively
replacing mechanistic rate laws with approximations resulted in a model that
retains a high correlation with the true model behavior. Investigating this
consistency, we determined that the order of magnitude differences among
fluxes and concentrations in the network were greatly influential on the
network dynamics. We further identified reaction features such as thermodynamic
reversibility, high substrate concentration, and lack of allosteric regulation,
which make certain reactions more suitable for rate law approximations.
Conclusions: Overall, our work generally supports the use of approximate
rate laws when building large scale kinetic models, due to the key role that
physiologically meaningful flux and concentration ranges play in determining
network dynamics. However, we also showed that detailed mechanistic models
show a clear benefit in prediction accuracy when data is available. The work
here should help to provide guidance to future kinetic modeling efforts on the
choice of rate law and parameterization approaches.},

We furthermore extend the observation model used in a particle filter to dynamically adapt to the uncertainty of single candidate fingerprints by using their similarity to the current observation. For this purpose, we derive a new likelihood function and introduce an alternative way of selecting candidate fingerprints using a combination of their signal space similarity as well as the distance between the currently estimated pose and reference fingerprints.

abstract = {Algae have enormous potential as bio-factories for the
efficient production of a wide array of high-value products, and eventually
as a source of renewable biofuels. However, tools for engineering the
nuclear genomes of algae remain scarce and limited in functionality. In this
study, synthetic algal promoters (saps) were generated as a tool for
increasing nuclear gene expression and as a model for understanding promoter
elements and structure in green algae. Promoters were generated to mimic
native \emph{cis}-motif elements, structure, and overall nucleotide
composition of top expressing genes from \emph{Chlamydomonas reinhardtii}.
Twenty five saps were used to drive expression of a fluorescent reporter in
transgenic algae. A majority of the promoters were functional \emph{in vivo}
and seven were identified to drive expression of the fluorescent reporter
better than the current best endogenous promoter in \emph{C.~reinhardtii},
the chimeric hsp70/rbs2 promoter. Further analysis of the best synthetic
promoter, sap11, revealed a new DNA motif essential for promoter function
that is widespread and highly conserved in \emph{C.~reinhardtii}. These data
demonstrate the utility of synthetic promoters to drive gene expression in
green algae, and lays the groundwork for the development of a suite of saps
capable of driving the robust and complex gene expression that will be
required for algae to reach their potential as an industrial platform for
photosynthetic bio-manufacturing.},

the downregulation of many drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters but it

question we treated human primary hepatocytes with IL-6, the major mediator
of the acute phase response in liver, and characterized acute phase and
detoxification responses in quantitative gene expression and
(phospho-)proteomics data sets. Selective inhibitors were used to
disentangle the roles of JAK/STAT, MAPK, and PI3K signaling pathways. The
extensive data sets were used to calibrate a prior knowledge-based
fuzzy-logic model comprising signal transduction and gene regulation. Our
model suggests a major role of MAPK and PI3K signaling, with the orphan
nuclear receptor RXR$\alpha$ playing a central role. Validation experiments
revealed a striking similarity of RXR$\alpha$ gene silencing and IL-6
stimulation with respect to negative gene regulation. These results concur
with RXR$\alpha$ functioning as obligatory heterodimerization partner for
several nuclear receptors that regulate drug and lipid metabolism.},

network reconstructions are steadily increasing, expanding the potential
scale of derived computational models. However, the construction of large
biochemical network models is a laborious and error-prone task. Automated
methods have simplified the network reconstruction process, but building
kinetic models for these systems is still a manually intensive task.
Appropriate kinetic equations, based upon reaction rate laws, must be
constructed and parameterized for each reaction. The complex
test-and-evaluation cycles that can be involved during kinetic model
construction would thus benefit from automated methods for rate law
assignment.
Results: We present a high-throughput algorithm to automatically suggest and
create suitable rate laws based upon reaction type according to several
criteria. The criteria for choices made by the algorithm can be influenced
in order to assign the desired type of rate law to each reaction. This
algorithm is implemented in the software package SBMLsqueezer~2. In
addition, this program contains an integrated connection to the kinetics
database SABIO-RK to obtain experimentally-derived rate laws when desired.
Conclusions: The described approach fills a heretofore absent niche in
workflows for large-scale biochemical kinetic model construction. In several
applications the algorithm has already been demonstrated to be useful and
scalable. SBMLsqueezer is platform independent and can be used as a
stand-alone package, as an integrated plugin, or through a web interface,

Further, we used three different encoding schemes for the genotypes of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and investigated their influence on the predictive performance of these models. Our study suggests that an additive encoding of the SNP data should be the preferred encoding scheme, as it proved to yield the best predictive performances for all algorithms and data sets. Furthermore, our results showed that the differences between most state-of-the-art classification algorithms are not statistically significant.

been proposed using comparative genomics-based core proteome definitions.
A definition of a core proteome that is supported by empirical data, is
understood at the systems-level, and provides a basis for computing
essential cell functions is lacking. Here, we use a systems biology-based
genome-scale model of metabolism and expression to define a functional core
proteome consisting of 356 gene products, accounting for 44\% of the
\emph{Escherichia coli} proteome by mass based on proteomics data. This
systems biology core proteome includes 212 genes not found in previous
comparative genomics-based core proteome definitions, accounts for 65\% of
known essential genes in \emph{E.~coli}, and has 78\% gene function overlap with
minimal genomes (\emph{Buchnera aphidicola} and \emph{Mycoplasma genitalium}).
Based on transcriptomics data across environmental and genetic backgrounds,
the systems biology core proteome is significantly enriched in non-differentially
expressed genes, and depleted in differentially expressed genes. Compared to
the non-core, core gene expression levels are also similar across genetic
backgrounds (two times higher Spearman rank correlation), and exhibit
significantly more complex transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulatory
features (40\% more transcription start sites per gene, 22\% longer 5'UTR).
Thus, genome-scale systems biology approaches rigorously identify a
functional core proteome needed to support growth. This framework, validated
using high-throughput datasets, facilitates a mechanistic understanding of
systems-level core proteome function through in silico models; it
\emph{de facto} defines a paleome.},

title = {Escher: A web application for building, sharing, and embedding
data-rich visualizations of biological pathways},
abstract = {Escher is a web application for visualizing data on biological
pathways. Three key features make Escher a uniquely effective tool for
pathway visualization. First, users can rapidly design new pathway maps.
Escher provides pathway suggestions based on user data and genome-scale
models, so users can draw pathways in a semi-automated way. Second, users
can visualize data related to genes or proteins on the associated reactions
and pathways, using rules that define which enzmyes catalyze each reaction.
Thus, users can identify trends in common genomic data types (e.g., RNA-Seq,
proteomics, ChIP) in conjunction with metabolite- and reaction-oriented data
types (e.g., metabolomics, fluxomics). Third, Escher harnesses the strengths
of web technologies (SVG, D3, developer tools) so that visualizations can be
rapidly adapted, extended, shared, and embedded. This paper provides
examples of each of these features and explains how the development approach
used for Escher can be used to guide the development of future visualization
tools.},

abstract = {Purpose of study. Chemical carcinogens are categorized as either genotoxic or non-genotoxic. While most genotoxic carcinogens are known to interfere with DNA, the mode of action of non-genotoxic carcinogens (NGC) is far from being understood. Many steroid hormones act as NGC and account for cancer of the breast, prostate, or other organs. As ligands of nuclear receptors hormones induce growth in target tissues and support the outgrowth of mutated cells to malignancy. An almost identical principle is underlying the action of NGC producing liver tumors in long-term rodent bioassays. This group of compounds comprises drugs prescribed to hundred-thousands of humans, like hypolipidemic and antidiabetic drugs, or synthetic steroid hormones. A thorough knowledge of the mode of action of NGC is of utmost importance in order to estimate the risk of exposed humans.Conventional notion regards the action of NGC an autonomous process largely confined to parenchymal cells. Here, we aim to elucidate the role of the hepatic mesenchyme for the action of two prototypical NGC, phenobarbital (PB), an anti-epileptic drug, and cyproterone acetate (CPA), a gestagen used in contraceptive pills.Experimental procedures. Mesenchymal liver cells (MC) and hepatocytes (HC) were isolated from control and PB/CPA-treated rat livers by collagenase perfusion and subsequent low-speed centrifugation. Transcriptomics was performed by oligo-array analyses (Affymetrix). Cytokine levels were determined by ELISA. Nuclear translocation of NFkB was shown by immunoblotts of nuclear extracts and by reporter gene assay.Results: Analyses by oligo-arrays revealed that PB and CPA altered the transcriptome profiles of HC and MC. In PB-treated MC, there were deregulations of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines of the TNF-, CCL- and CXCL-family. PB treatment in vivo or in vitro elevated the production and release of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha)from MC. The secretome of PB-treated MC induced in HC a pro-inflammatory reaction and nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-kB (NFkB), an effect also observed with recombinant TNFalpha. Both, TNFalpha and the secretome of PB-treated MC, protected HC from pro-apoptotic stimuli.Transcriptome analyses of CPA-treated MC revealed enhanced expression not only of pro-inflammatory cytokines but also of several potent growth factors. Accordingly, the supernatant of CPA-treated MC enhanced considerably the DNA replication of preneoplastic hepatocytes.Conclusion: PB and CPA appear to alter considerably the function of the hepatic mesenchyme. The resulting release of cytokines induces growth and/or activates anti-apoptotic pathways in HC which may contribute to the tumor promoting activity of these compounds. Thus, epithelial-mesenchymal interactions appear crucial in NGC-driven hepatocarcinogenesis.Project MARCAR, funded by IMI JU under grant agreement Nr 115001.Citation Format: Bettina Grasl-Kraupp, Teresa Riegler, Marzieh Nejabat, Jakob Paur, Johannes Eichner, Michael Roemer, Andreas Zell, Rolf Schulte-Hermann, Wolfgang Huber.

response factor (SRF) is controlled by both Ras/MAPK (mitogen-activated
protein kinase) and Rho/actin signaling pathways, which are frequently
activated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We generated \emph{SRF-VP16\textsuperscript{iHep}} mice,
which conditionally express constitutively active SRF-VP16 in hepatocytes,
thereby controlling subsets of both Ras/MAPK- and Rho/actin-stimulated
target genes. All \emph{SRF-VP16\textsuperscript{iHep}} mice develop hyperproliferative liver nodules
that progresses to lethal HCC. Some murine (m)HCCs acquire \emph{Ctnnb1} mutations
equivalent to those in human (h)HCC. The resulting transcript signatures
mirror those of a distinct subgroup of hHCCs, with shared activation of
oncofetal genes including \emph{Igf2}, correlating with CpG hypomethylation at the
imprinted \emph{Igf2/H19} locus.
\emph{Conclusion:}
\emph{SRF-VP16\textsuperscript{iHep}} mHCC reveal convergent Ras/MAPK and Rho/actin signaling as a
highly oncogenic driver mechanism for hepatocarcinogenesis. This suggests
simultaneous inhibition of Ras/MAPK and Rho/actin signaling as a treatment
strategy in hHCC therapy.},

abstract = {Collaborative genome-scale reconstruction endeavors of metabolic networks
would not be possible without a common, standardized formal representation
of these systems. The ability to precisely define biological building
blocks together with their dynamic behavior has even been considered
a prerequisite for upcoming synthetic biology approaches.
Driven by the requirements of such ambitious research goals, standardization
itself has become an active field of research on nearly all levels
of granularity in biology. In addition to the originally envisaged
exchange of computational models and tool interoperability, new standards
have been suggested for an unambiguous graphical display of biological
phenomena, to annotate, archive, as well as to rank models, and to
describe execution and the outcomes of simulation experiments. The
spectrum now even covers the interaction of entire neurons in the
brain, three-dimensional motions, and the description of pharmacometric
studies.
Thereby, the mathematical description of systems and approaches for
their (repeated) simulation are clearly separated from each other
and also from their graphical representation. Minimum information
definitions constitute guidelines and common operation protocols
in order to ensure reproducibility of findings and a unified knowledge
representation. Central database infrastructures have been established
that provide the scientific community with persistent links from
model annotations to on-line resources. A rich variety of open-source
software tools thrives for all data formats, often supporting a multitude
of programming languages. Regular meetings and workshops of developers
and users lead to continuous improvement and ongoing development
of these standardization efforts.
This article gives a brief overview about the current state of the
growing number of operation protocols, markup languages, graphical

ability of a mobile robot that drives in outdoor environments. Our
robot uses a 3D LIDAR and a camera to classify terrain as either
asphalt, cobblestones, grass, or gravel. We build on previous work
where we modeled the terrain as a Conditional random field to account
for spatial dependencies, which improved results substantially. We
now show how to speed up the spatial classification by defining a
new energy term for neighborhood relations. Moreover, we now also
consider temporal dependencies as the robot moves. This not only
further improves the results, but makes it possible to build local
terrain maps of the environment. We describe how to efficiently integrate
the classification results of each time step into the map in a probabilistic
manner. By also detecting obstacles with the LIDAR, the robot can
build combined terrain and elevation maps. We show that these maps
can be used for semantic robot localization.},

The presented dynamic cortex memory (DCM) is an extension of the well-known long short term memory (LSTM) model. The main innovation of the DCM is the enhancement of the inner interplay of the gates and the error carousel due to several new and trainable connections. These connections enable a direct signal transfer from the gates to one another. With this novel enhancement the networks are able to converge faster during training with back-propagation through time (BPTT) than LSTM under the same training conditions. Furthermore, DCMs yield better generalization results than LSTMs. This behaviour is shown for different supervised problem scenarios, including storing precise values, adding and learning a context-sensitive grammar.},

The idea of our method is based on a kind of volatile memory which is similar to the pheromone evaporation in the ant colony optimization algorithm. Therefore, we call our improved RANSAC like algorithm ANTSAC. We describe our new approach and the influence of its relevant parameters to the achieved performance in detail. ANTSAC is computationally efficient and convincingly easy to implement. It turns out that ANTSAC significantly outperforms RANSAC regarding the number of inliers after a given number of iterations. Further, we show that the advantage of ANTSAC increases with the complexity of the problem, i.e., with the number of model parameters, as well as with the relative number of outliers.

extend our segmentation to use depth filtering and clustering with
a watershed algorithm on the depth data to detect the target to be
recognized. We forward the processed data to extract RGB-D descriptors

classification and recognition task. After having detected the object
once, we apply a simple tracking method to reduce the object search
space and the computational load through frequent detection queries.
The proposed method is evaluated using the random forest (RF) classifier.

However, all these studies have used different settings for the different

structured light sensors Microsoft Kinect and ASUS Xtion Pro Live
and the time of flight sensors Fotonic E70P, IFM O3D200 and Nippon
Signal FX6, using the same settings. The sensor noise, absolute error
and point detection rates are compared for different depth values,
environmental illumination and different surfaces. Also simple models
of the noise depending on the measured depth are proposed. It is
found that the structured light sensors are very accurate for close
ranges. The time of flight sensors have more noise, but the noise
does not increase as strongly with the measured distance. Further,
it is found that these sensors can be used for outdoor applications.

exist for a wide variety of microarray platforms, such as ordinary
gene-centered arrays, exon arrays and SNP arrays. However, most of the
available software tools provide only limited support for reverse-phase
protein arrays (RPPA), as relevant inherent properties of the corresponding
datasets are not taken into account. Thus, we developed the web-based data
analysis pipeline RPPApipe, which was specifically tailored to suit the
characteristics of the RPPA platform and encompasses various tools for data
preprocessing, statistical analysis, clustering and pathway analysis.
Implementation and performance: All tools which are part of the RPPApipe
software were implemented using R/Bioconductor. The software was embedded
into our web-based ZBIT Bioinformatics Toolbox which is a customized
instance of the Galaxy platform.

characteristic molecular profiles have previously been incorporated
into prediction models for early assessment of a carcinogenic potential

biomarker signatures used for model construction were derived from
individual high-throughput techniques, such as microarrays designed
for monitoring global mRNA expression. In this study, we built predictive
models by integrating omics data across complementary microarray
platforms and introduced new concepts for modeling of pathway alterations
and molecular interactions between multiple biological layers. We
trained and evaluated diverse machine learning-based models, differing
in the incorporated features and learning algorithms on a cross-omics
dataset encompassing mRNA, miRNA, and protein expression profiles
obtained from rat liver samples treated with a heterogeneous set
of substances. Most of these compounds could be unambiguously classified
as genotoxic carcinogens, non-genotoxic carcinogens, or non-hepatocarcinogens
based on evidence from published studies. Since mixed characteristics
were reported for the compounds Cyproterone acetate, Thioacetamide,
and Wy-14643, we reclassified these compounds as either genotoxic
or non-genotoxic carcinogens based on their molecular profiles. Evaluating
our toxicogenomics models in a repeated external cross-validation
procedure, we demonstrated that the prediction accuracy of our models
could be increased by joining the biomarker signatures across multiple
biological layers and by adding complex features derived from cross-platform
integration of the omics data. Furthermore, we found that adding
these features resulted in a better separation of the compound classes
and a more confident reclassification of the three undefined compounds
as non-genotoxic carcinogens.

a standard technology in metabolomics. In particular, label-free
quantification based on LC-MS is easily amenable to large-scale studies
and thus well suited to clinical metabolomics. Large-scale studies,
however, require automated processing of the large and complex LC-MS
datasets.We present a novel algorithm for the detection of mass traces
and their aggregation into features (i.e. all signals caused by the
same analyte species) that is computationally efficient and sensitive
and that leads to reproducible quantification results. The algorithm
is based on a sensitive detection of mass traces, which are then
assembled into features based on mass-to-charge spacing, co-elution
information, and a support vector machine-based classifier able to
identify potential metabolite isotope patterns. The algorithm is
not limited to metabolites but is applicable to a wide range of small
molecules (e.g. lipidomics, peptidomics), as well as to other separation
technologies.We assessed the algorithm's robustness with regard to
varying noise levels on synthetic data and then validated the approach
on experimental data investigating human plasma samples. We obtained
excellent results in a fully automated data-processing pipeline with
respect to both accuracy and reproducibility. Relative to state-of-the
art algorithms, ours demonstrated increased precision and recall
of the method. The algorithm is available as part of the open-source

abstract = {Background: Qualitative frameworks, especially those based on the
logical discrete formalism, are increasingly used to model regulatory and
signalling networks. A major advantage of these frameworks is that
they do not require precise quantitative data, and that they are
well-suited for studies of large networks. While numerous groups
have developed specific computational tools that provide original
methods to analyse qualitative models, a standard format to exchange
qualitative models has been missing.
Results: We present the System Biology Markup Language (SBML) Qualitative
Models Package (``qual''), an extension of the SBML Level 3 standard
designed for computer representation of qualitative models of biological
networks. We demonstrate the interoperability of models via SBML qual
through the analysis of a specific signalling network by three independent
software tools. Furthermore, the cooperative development of the SBML qual
format paved the way for the development of LogicalModel, an open-source
model library, which will facilitate the adoption of the format as
well as the collaborative development of algorithms to analyze qualitative
models.
Conclusion: SBML qual allows the exchange of qualitative models
among a number of complementary software tools. SBML qual has the
potential to promote collaborative work on the development of novel
computational approaches, as well as on the specification and the
analysis of comprehensive qualitative models of regulatory and signalling

abstract = {One of the key mechanisms of transcriptional control are the specific
connections between transcription factors (TF) and \emph{cis}-regulatory
elements in gene promoters. The elucidation of these specific protein-DNA
interactions is crucial to gain insights into the complex regulatory
mechanisms and networks underlying the adaptation of organisms to
dynamically changing environmental conditions. As experimental techniques
for determining TF binding sites are expensive and mostly performed
for selected TFs only, accurate computational approaches are needed
to analyze transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes on a genome-wide
level. We implemented a four-step classification workflow which for
a given protein sequence (1) discriminates TFs from other proteins,
(2) determines the structural superclass of TFs, (3) identifies the
DNA-binding domains of TFs and (4) predicts their \emph{cis}-acting
DNA motif. While existing tools were extended and adapted for performing
the latter two prediction steps, the first two steps are based on
a novel numeric sequence representation which allows for combining
existing knowledge from a BLAST scan with robust machine learning-based
classification. By evaluation on a set of experimentally confirmed
TFs and non-TFs, we demonstrate that our new protein sequence representation
facilitates more reliable identification and structural classification
of TFs than previously proposed sequence-derived features. The algorithms

$\alpha$-synuclein}},

abstract = {Background: Parkinson's disease is an age-related disease, whose
pathogenesis is not completely known. Animal models exist for investigating
the disease but not all results can be easily transferred to humans.
Therefore, mathematical or probabilistic models for the human disease
are to be constructed \emph{in-silico} in order to predict specific
processes within a cell, such as the dopamine metabolism and transport
processes in a neuron.
Results: We present an SBML model of a whole dopaminergic nerve cell
consisting of 139 reactions and 111 metabolites which includes, among
others, the dopamine metabolism and transport, oxidative stress, aggregation
of $\alpha$-synuclein ($\alpha$SYN), lysosomal and proteasomal degradation,
and mitophagy. The predictive power of the model was investigated using flux
balance analysis for the identification of steady model states. To this end,
we performed six experiments: (i) investigation of the normal cell behavior,
(ii) increase of O\textsubscript{2}, (iii) increase of ATP, (iv) influence
of neurotoxins, (v) increase of $\alpha$SYN the cell and (vi) increase
of dopamine synthesis. The SBML model is available in BioModels database
with identifier MODEL1302200000.
Conclusion: It is possible to simulate the normal behavior of an
\emph{in-vivo} nerve cell with the developed model. We show that the model
is sensitive for neurotoxins and oxidative stress. Further, an increased
level of $\alhpa$SYN induces apoptosis and we observed an increased flux of
$\alpha$SYN to the extracellular space.},

Identification (RFID) technology for localizing tagged items with

novel three-dimensional (3D) probability sensor model of RFID antennas

proposed 3D sensor model characterizes both detection rates and received
signal strength (RSS). Compared to 2D-sensor model based approaches,
the 3D model gains a higher mapping accuracy for 2D position estimation.
Specially, with this sensor model, we are able to localize the tags
in 3D by integrating the measurements from a pair of RFID antennas
mounted at different heights of the robot. Furthermore, by integrating
negative information (i.e., non-detections), the 3D mapping accuracy
can be improved. Additionally, we utilize KLD-sampling to reduce
the number of particles for our specific application, so that our
algorithm can be performed online. Indoor experiments with a Scitos

many cases distinct pathways or reactions exist for contrary flows
of matter. All processes within a metabolic network are temporally
and spatially organized. Often cells contain several compartments
which separate parts of its reaction network into subnetworks. The
reacting compounds are called metabolites or species. Additionally,
modifiers can activate, inhibit or catalyze a reaction. Enzymes play
a central role in metabolic networks, because they act as catalysts
in the vast majority of the reactions. The interplay of its components

Recessive CLPP mutations were recently observed in the human Perrault

a first characterization of Clpp null mice demonstrated complete
female and male infertility and auditory deficits. Disrupted spermatogenesis
already at the spermatid stage and ovarian follicular differentiation
failure were evident. Reduced pre-/post-natal survival and marked
ubiquitous growth retardation contrasted with only light impairment
of movement and respiratory activities. Interestingly, the mice showed
resistance to ulcerative dermatitis. Systematic expression studies
detected up-regulation of other mitochondrial chaperones, accumulation
of CLPX and mtDNA as well as inflammatory factors throughout tissues.
T-lymphocytes in the spleen were activated. Thus, murine Clpp deletion
represents a faithful Perrault model. The disease mechanism probably
involves deficient clearance of mitochondrial components and inflammatory

abstract = {Background: With the increasing availability of high dimensional
time course data for metabolites, genes, and fluxes, the mathematical
description of dynamical systems has become an essential aspect of
research in systems biology. Models are often encoded in formats
such as SBML, whose structure is very complex and difficult to evaluate
due to many special cases.
Results: This article describes an efficient algorithm to solve SBML models
that are interpreted in terms of ordinary differential equations. We begin
our consideration with a formal representation of the mathematical form of
the models and explain all parts of the algorithm in detail, including
several preprocessing steps. We provide a flexible reference implementation
as part of the Systems Biology Simulation Core Library, a community-driven
sophisticated interface hierarchy for the definition of custom differential
equation systems. To demonstrate the capabilities of the new algorithm, it
has been tested with the entire SBML Test Suite and all models of
BioModels Database.
Conclusions: The formal description of the mathematics behind the SBML
format facilitates the implementation of the algorithm
within specifically tailored programs. The reference implementation
can be used as a simulation backend for Java-based programs. Source

title = {Inference and integration of biochemical networks with multilayered
omics data},
school = {University of Tuebingen},
year = {2013},
address = {T\"ubingen, Germany},
month = jun,
abstract = { The technological advances of the last decade have led to numerous
studies focusing on genome-wide transcriptomic changes. This is also
reflected in a great number of publications that compare the gene
expression levels of healthy and other samples. However, the detailed
molecular mechanisms that cause these changes remain largely unknown.
The different types of cancer are popular examples, for which altered
transcriptomic expression profiles are known for a long time, and
researchers nowadays focus on identifying causes and treatments against
these alterations. Epigenetic effects, such as DNA methylation, have
been identified as associated to most types of cancer. The integration
of both omics layers---transcriptomic and epigenomic---allowed for
explaining varied gene expression levels for some genes. Despite
these promising results, automated methods for an integration of
multiple omics datasets are still in an early stage of development.
More omics layers need to be analyzed integratively and more approaches
need to be developed that help researchers finding causes for varied
expression levels. For this purpose, systems biology methods are
required that interpret biological coherences as an overall system
and help to identify complex interactions. However, the biochemical
networks that underly those systems must be reconstructed before
most systems biology methods can be applied or interactions can be
identified. Thus, approaches for the reconstruction of biochemical
networks and novel methods, which help identifying complex coherences
between different omics layers are firstly described in this thesis.
It thereby focuses on the inference of biochemical networks and their
subsequent integration with multilayered omics data. A widely-used
source for biochemical networks are biological pathways. Unfortunately,
they are mostly stored as inaccurate and incomplete qualitative descriptions
in proprietary formats and thus, cannot be used directly with systems
biology methods. This thesis presents a method that automatically
fixes those issues and translates pathways to well-defined computational
models. As a result of this work, 142,050 revised models of metabolic
and non-metabolic pathways have been generated and put into the popular
BioModels repository for the systems biology modeling language (SBML).
The ModuleMaster method is a second approach for the generation of
biochemical networks. More specifically, transcriptional regulatory
networks are inferred from combinations of experimental gene expression
data and a priori knowledge. To this end, gene expression data is
clustered and regulatory transcription factors are determined. The
inferred interactions between both span the final network. The established
biochemical networks are used for a joint visualization of multilayered
omics data. For this purpose, it is discussed how different omics
layers can be integrated into a single dataset. On this basis, a
methodology has been developed that integratively depicts messenger
RNA, microRNA, DNA methylation and protein data in a single network.
Besides this integration technique, several further integrated omics
data analysis methods are presented in this thesis. The concept of
gene-set enrichment analysis is extended to multilayered omics data
and methods that ease a joint inspection of these high-dimensional
datasets are presented. Finally, a machine learning approach is described
that links epigenetic profiles to genetic features. This is used
to discover the mechanisms and features that induce changes in the
epigenome.},

with multiple borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) over a lifetime of
decades implies an optimized performance of the BHEs and a mitigation
of the environmental impact of the system. This paper introduces
a new combined optimization approach, which optimizes the BHE positions
as well as the individually regulated energy extraction for each
single BHE within a given BHE field in conduction dominated media
for a given seasonal changing load profile. The optimization of only
the BHE positions without optimizing the individual BHE loads nearly
produces the same improvement of the underground temperature change
of approximately 12% as an optimization of the BHE loads without
optimized positioning. The combination of both optimization approaches
result in only slightly better results compared to a result achieved
by only one of the optimization approaches. Thus for homogeneous
fields without groundwater flow, an optimal load assignment can be
replaced by an optimal BHE placement, which leads to a considerably
reduced complexity of the BHE field.},

title = {Optimization of energy extraction for vertical closed-loop geothermal
systems considering groundwater flow},
journal = {Energy Conversion and Management},
year = {2013},
volume = {66},
pages = {1-10},
abstract = {A combined simulation-optimization procedure is presented to regulate
the operation of borehole heat exchangers (BHEs) in a multiple BHE
field when groundwater flow exists. Such fields are of increasing
interest for large-scale geothermal heating energy supply of buildings,
but so far strategic adjustment of energy extraction rates (loads)
of the individual BHEs has not been considered in practice. Groundwater
flow means an additional advective energy supply, which is advantageous
but also complicates proper BHE adjustment. In the presented procedure,
the field is simulated by temporally and spatially superimposed moving
line source equations. The optimization goal is formulated in an
objective function to minimize the thermal impact in the ground,
to avoid extreme temperature anomalies, and by this, ultimately improve
heat pump performance. For a given seasonal energy demand and total
operation time, linear programming efficiently delivers optimized
BHE operation patterns. For an examined square lattice of 25 BHEs,
the optimized radial load patterns characteristic for conduction
dominated conditions change to patterns that are oriented at the
groundwater flow when advection dominates. Through this, optimization
always levels the temperature distribution in the ground. Also, in
comparison to routine practice, mean BHE outlet temperatures can
be increased. For the small study case, numerical simulation reveals
that already more than 1 K can be achieved, given a seasonal energy
demand oriented at common conditions in central Europe. However,
for a fixed energy demand, advective heat supply towards the BHEs
increases with groundwater flow velocity and thus mitigates the benefits
from optimization. },

journal = {BMC Systems Biology},
year = {2013},
volume = {7},
pages = {15},
number = {1},
month = jan,
abstract = {Background: The KEGG PATHWAY database provides a plethora of pathways
for a diversity of organisms. All pathway components are directly
linked to other KEGG databases, such as KEGG COMPOUND or KEGG REACTION.
Therefore, the pathways can be extended with an enormous amount of
information and provide a foundation for initial structural modeling
approaches. As a drawback, KGML-formatted KEGG pathways are primarily
designed for visualization purposes and often omit important details
for the sake of a clear arrangement of its entries. Thus, a direct
conversion into systems biology models would produce incomplete and
erroneous models.
Results: Here, we present a precise method for processing and converting
KEGG pathways into initial metabolic and signaling models encoded in the
standardized community pathway formats SBML (Levels 2 and 3) and BioPAX
(Levels 2 and 3). This method involves correcting invalid or incomplete KGML
content, creating complete and valid stoichiometric reactions, translating
relations to signaling models and augmenting the pathway content with
various information, such as cross-references to Entrez Gene, OMIM, UniProt
ChEBI, and many more. Finally, we compare several existing conversion tools
for KEGG pathways and show that the conversion from KEGG to BioPAX
does not involve a loss of information, whilst lossless translations
to SBML can only be performed using SBML Level 3, including its recently
proposed qualitative models and groups extension packages.
Conclusions: Building correct BioPAX and SBML signaling models from the KEGG
database is a unique characteristic of the proposed method. Further, there
is no other approach that is able to appropriately construct metabolic
models from KEGG pathways, including correct reactions with stoichiometry.
The resulting initial models, which contain valid and comprehensive
SBML or BioPAX code and a multitude of cross-references, lay the
foundation to facilitate further modeling steps.},

abstract = {Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative
disease affecting 1-2\% in people >60 and 3-4\% in people >80. Genome-wide
association (GWA) studies have now implicated significant evidence
for association in at least 18 genomic regions. We have studied a
large PD-meta analysis and identified a significant excess of SNPs
(P < 1 $\times$ $10^16$) that are associated with PD but fall short
of the genome-wide significance threshold. This result was independent
of variants at the 18 previously implicated regions and implies the
presence of additional polygenic risk alleles. To understand how
these loci increase risk of PD, we applied a pathway-based analysis,
testing for biological functions that were significantly enriched
for genes containing variants associated with PD. Analysing two independent
GWA studies, we identified that both had a significant excess in
the number of functional categories enriched for PD-associated genes
(minimum P = 0.014 and P = 0.006, respectively). Moreover, 58 categories
were significantly enriched for associated genes in both GWA studies
(P < 0.001), implicating genes involved in the 'regulation of leucocyte/lymphocyte
activity' and also 'cytokine-mediated signalling' as conferring an
increased susceptibility to PD. These results were unaltered by the
exclusion of all 178 genes that were present at the 18 genomic regions
previously reported to be strongly associated with PD (including
the HLA locus). Our findings, therefore, provide independent support
to the strong association signal at the HLA locus and imply that
the immune-related genetic susceptibility to PD is likely to be more
widespread in the genome than previously appreciated. },

between different biological samples. For this purpose, many analysis
tools have been developed that offer visualization, statistical analysis,

designed specifically for messenger RNA microarrays. However today,
more and more different microarray platforms are available. Changes
in DNA methylation, microRNA expression or even protein phosphorylation

allow for an integrated analysis of data from those platforms. The

Molecular profiling (mRNA, miRNA, DNA methylation & proteins) of

increases in hepatic expression of long non-coding RNAs and microRNAs
originating from the Dlk1-Dio3 imprinted gene cluster, a locus that
has recently been associated with stem cell pluripotency in mice

cluster non-coding RNA Meg3 was localised to glutamine synthetase
positive hypertrophic perivenous hepatocytes suggesting a role for
$\beta$-catenin signaling in the dysregulation of Dlk1-Dio3 non-coding
RNAs. The carcinogenic relevance of Dlk1-Dio3 locus non-coding RNA
induction was further supported by in vivo genetic dependence on
Constitutive Androstane Receptor (CAR) and $\beta$-catenin pathways.

abstract = {Motivation: Traditionally, microarrays were almost exclusively employed
for the genome-wide analysis of differential gene expression. But
nowadays, their scope of application has been extended to various
genomic features, such as microRNAs, proteins, and DNA methylation.
Most available methods for the visualization of these datasets are
focused on individual platforms and are not capable of integratively
visualizing multiple microarray datasets from cross-platform studies.
Above all, there is a demand for methods that can visualize genomic
features that are not directly linked to protein-coding genes, such
as regulatory RNAs (e.g., microRNAs) and epigenetic alterations (e.g.,
DNA methylation), in a pathway-centered manner. Results: We present
a novel pathway-based visualization method that is especially suitable
for the visualization of high-throughput datasets from multiple different
microarray platforms which were employed for the analysis of diverse
genomic features in the same set of biological samples. The proposed
methodology includes concepts for linking DNA methylation and microRNA
expression datasets to canonical signaling and metabolic pathways.
We further point out strategies for displaying data from multiple
proteins and protein modifications corresponding to the same gene.
Ultimately, we show how data from four distinct platform types (mRNA,
miRNA, protein, and DNA methylation arrays) can be integratively
visualized in the context of canonical pathways. Availability: The
described method is implemented as part of the InCroMAP application

abstract = {Motivation: The Biological Pathway Exchange Language (BioPAX) and
the Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) belong to the most popular
modeling and data exchange languages in systems biology. The focus
of SBML is quantitative modeling and dynamic simulation of models,
whereas the BioPAX specification concentrates mainly on visualization
and qualitative analysis of pathway maps. BioPAX describes reactions
and relations. In contrast, SBML core exclusively describes quantitative
processes such as reactions. With the SBML Qualitative Models extension
(qual), it has recently also become possible to describe relations
in SBML. Before the development of SBML qual, relations could not
be properly translated into SBML. Until now, there exists no BioPAX
to SBML converter that is fully capable of translating both reactions
and relations. Results: The entire Nature Pathway Interaction Database
(PID) has been converted from BioPAX (Level 2 and Level 3) into SBML
(Level 3 Version 1) including both reactions and relations by using
the new qual extension package. Additionally, we present the new
webtool BioPAX2SBML for further BioPAX to SBML conversions. Compared
to previous conversion tools, BioPAX2SBML is more comprehensive,
more robust and more exact. Availability: BioPAX2SBML is freely available

ground by operating a low-enthalpy geothermal plant with a field
of multiple borehole heat exchangers (BHEs). The new methodology
is demonstrated on two synthetic case studies with 36 BHEs that are
grounded in reality and operated to produce given seasonal heating
energy demand. We compare the performance of six different Evolutionary
Algorithms (EAs) (two Differential Evolution variants, Particle Swarm
Optimization, two Evolution Strategy based Algorithms, real valued
Genetic Algorithm) and Monte-Carlo random search to find the optimal
BHE positions. Additionally, linear programming is applied to adjust
the energy extraction (loads) for the individual BHEs in the field.
Both optimization steps are applied separately and in combination,
and the achieved system improvements are compared to the conditions
for the non-optimized case. The EAs were able to find constellations
that cause less pronounced temperature changes in the subsurface
(18% - 25%) than those associated with non-optimized BHE fields.
Further, we could show that exclusive optimization of BHE energy
extraction rates delivers slightly better results than the optimization
of BHE positions. Combining both optimization approaches is the best
choice and, ideally, adjusts the geothermal plant.},

abstract = {The success of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in deciphering
the genetic architecture of complex diseases has fueled the expectations
whether the individual risk can also be quantified based on the genetic
architecture. So far, disease risk prediction based on top-validated
single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) showed little predictive value.
Here, we applied a support vector machine (SVM) to Parkinson disease
(PD) and type 1 diabetes (T1D), to show that apart from magnitude
of effect size of risk variants, heritability of the disease also
plays an important role in disease risk prediction. Furthermore,
we performed a simulation study to show the role of uncommon (frequency
1-5\%) as well as rare variants (frequency <1%) in disease etiology
of complex diseases. Using a cross-validation model, we were able
to achieve predictions with an area under the receiver operating
characteristic curve (AUC) of ~0.88 for T1D, highlighting the strong
heritable component (~90\%). This is in contrast to PD, where we
were unable to achieve a satisfactory prediction (AUC ~0.56; heritability
~38\%). Our simulations showed that simultaneous inclusion of uncommon
and rare variants in GWAS would eventually lead to feasible disease
risk prediction for complex diseases such as PD. The used software

single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) highly associated with common

Complex Trait Analysis (GCTA) is a statistical method that applies
a linear mixed model to estimate phenotypic variance of complex traits
explained by genome-wide SNPs, including those not associated with
the trait in a GWAS. We applied GCTA to 8 cohorts containing 7,096
case and 19,455 control individuals of European ancestry in order
to examine the missing heritability present in Parkinson's disease
(PD). We meta-analyzed our initial results to produce robust heritability
estimates for PD types across cohorts. Our results identify 27% (95%
CI [17%, 38%], p = 8.08E-08) phenotypic variance associated with
all types of PD, 15% (95% CI [-0.2%, 33%], p = 0.09) phenotypic variance
associated with early onset PD, and 31% (95% CI [17%, 44%], p = 1.34E-05)
phenotypic variance associated with late onset PD. This is a substantial
increase from the genetic variance identified by top GWAS hits alone
(between 3- 5%) and indicates there are substantially more risk loci
to be identified. Our results suggest that while GWAS is a useful
tool in identifying the most common variants associated with complex
disease, a great deal of common variants of small effect remain to
be discovered.},

abstract = {DNA methylation of CpG islands plays a crucial role in the regulation
of gene expression. More than half of all human promoters contain
CpG islands with a tissue-specific methylation pattern in differentiated
cells. Still today, the whole process of how DNA methyltransferases
determine which region should be methylated is not completely revealed.
There are many hypotheses of which genomic features are correlated
to the epigenome that have not yet been evaluated. Furthermore, many
explorative approaches of measuring DNA methylation are limited to
a subset of the genome and thus, cannot be employed, e.g., for genome-wide
biomarker prediction methods. In this study, we evaluated the correlation
of genetic, epigenetic and hypothesis-driven features to DNA methylation
of CpG islands. To this end, various binary classifiers were trained
and evaluated by cross-validation on a dataset comprising DNA methylation
data for 190 CpG islands in HEPG2, HEK293, fibroblasts and leukocytes.
We achieved an accuracy of up to 91\% with an MCC of 0.8 using ten-fold
cross-validation and ten repetitions. With these models, we extended
the existing dataset to the whole genome and thus, predicted the
methylation landscape for the given cell types. The method used for
these predictions is also validated on another external whole-genome
dataset. Our results reveal features correlated to DNA methylation
and confirm or disprove various hypotheses of DNA methylation related
features. This study confirms correlations between DNA methylation
and histone modifications, DNA structure, DNA sequence, genomic attributes
and CpG island properties. Furthermore, the method has been validated
on a genome-wide dataset from the ENCODE consortium. The developed
software, as well as the predicted datasets and a web-service to
compare methylation states of CpG islands are available at http://www.cogsys.cs.uni-tuebingen.de/software/dna-methylation/.},

abstract = {The liver is among the largest and most complex organs in the human
body. It is responsible for the detoxification, metabolization, and
elimination of thousands of chemically diverse substances. This essential
functionality is mainly accomplished by hepatocytes, the most abundant
cell type in human liver tissue. An arsenal of liver proteins that
are sensitive to chemical compounds, orchestrates the activation
of genes and thus the production of specific enzymes, transporters,
and other proteins. These proteins transform endogenous and exogenous
chemical substances into less toxic and more water soluble metabolites
and promote the efflux of these compounds. The complex architecture
of these regulatory programs in human liver cells is widely unknown.
Defects in the regulatory mechanisms are known to be involved in
the development of a variety of liver diseases. Understanding the
structure and functionality of gene-regulatory networks in human
liver cells is, therefore, of high medical relevance. The work at
hand presents several new approaches to the reconstruction of gene-regulatory
networks in primary human hepatocytes. The main building blocks of
this kind of networks are transcription factors, which are able to
activate genes by recognizing and binding to specific DNA sequence
elements in the regulatory region of these genes. In this work, first,
a new approach for the prediction of transcription factor binding
specificities is proposed. Next, a new method for the reconstruction
of transcriptional regulatory networks is presented that mines for
patterns of transcription factor binding sites in sets of co-expressed
genes. The application of this method to drug-response gene expression
data revealed several new regulatory relationships that were successfully
validated in wet lab experiments. Finally, genome-wide association
analyses are performed to identify new associations between genetic
markers and quantitative gene expression levels based on a cohort
of 150 human liver samples.},

fingerprinting with passive UHF radio-frequency identification (RFID).
As recent passive RFID hardware provides information about received
signal strength (RSS), we evaluate its usefulness in the context
of fingerprinting based on classical vector similarity measures.
We analyze the impact of decisive parameters of the applied approach
and also select them automatically via cross-validation, including
the most appropriate similarity measure. A further novelty is an
RSS thresholding mechanism which reduces the computational demands
of comparing fingerprints. This technique is especially useful in
surroundings which are densely equipped with RFID tags, such as future
supermarkets or logistic centers. We conducted realworld experiments
with a mobile robot and two different RFID readers. Results are reported
both for global localization in each time frame and for time-filtered
position tracking. We provide the experimental data of this work

systems is at the heart of systems biology. Model structures, simulation
descriptions and numerical results can be encoded in structured formats,
but there is an increasing need to provide an additional semantic
layer. Semantic information adds meaning to components of structured
descriptions to help identify and interpret them unambiguously. Ontologies
are one of the tools frequently used for this purpose. We describe
here three ontologies created specifically to address the needs of
the Systems Biology community. The Systems Biology Ontology (SBO)
provides semantic information about the model components. The Kinetic
Simulation Algorithm Ontology (KiSAO) supplies information about
existing algorithms available for the simulation of Systems Biology
models, their characterization, and interrelationships. The Terminology
for the Description of Dynamics (TEDDY) categorizes dynamical features
of the simulation results and general systems behavior. The provision
of semantic information extends a model's longevity and facilitates
its reuse. It provides useful insight into the biology of modeled
processes, and may be used to make informed decisions on subsequent
simulation experiments.},

calculated by comparing the current fingerprint to reference fingerprints,

a P-controller is used for the navigation of the robot. This enables
the robot to follow a certain path, which may be defined in the first

the Java\texttrademark{} program ProDGe (Protein Domain Gene), which

ProDGe suggests novel protein interactions and assigns them to four
confidence classes, depending on the reliability of the underlying
domain interaction. Furthermore, ProDGe is able to identify potential
homologous interaction partners in other species, which is particularly
helpful when investigating poorly annotated species. We further evaluated
and compared experimentally identified protein interactions from
IntAct with domain interactions from DOMINE for six species and noticed
that 31.13% of all IntAct protein interactions in all six species

We present solutions to the automated inventory of RFID-tagged goods,

In order to quickly provide the required model of the detection behavior
of the RFID reader on board the mobile robot, we devise a semi-autonomous
learning method for probabilistic sensor models. Moreover, we compare
different techniques to self-localize in an RFID-tagged environment.

drugs. The primary target of statins is HMG-CoA reductase, a key
enzyme in cholesterol synthesis. However, statins elicit pleitropic

liver or other organs. Today, the regulatory mechanisms that cause
these pleiotropic effects are not sufficiently understood. Results:
In this work, genome-wide RNA expression changes in primary human
hepatocytes of six individuals were measured at up to six time points
upon atorvastatin treatment. A computational analysis workflow was
applied to reconstruct regulatory mechanisms based on these drug-response
data and available knowledge about TF binding specificities, and
protein-drug interactions. Several previously unknown transcription
factors were predicted to be involved in atorvastatin-responsive
gene expression. The novel relationships of nuclear receptors NR2C2
and PPARA on CYP3A4 were successfully validated in wet-lab experiments.

year = {2011},
address = {T\"ubingen, Germany},
month = mar,
abstract = {The past decades saw a rapid improvement in the technique of biological
experiments. While the beginning was coined with long and complex
experiments carried out by laboratory staff, automatic high-throughput
methods emerged. Especially proteomics profited from advances in
mass spectrometry to identify fragments from digested proteins. Mass
spectrometry entered the novel field of metabolomics. Metabolomics
investigates small molecules from metabolism for their role as disease
markers. The goal here is to develop monitoring and screening techniques
based on easily obtained body fluids. However, further methods, as
IR spectroscopy, are waiting for their advent into metabolomics research.
Connected to each area of research is the topic of data mining. Essentially,
data mining can be subdivided into the tasks of feature selection
and feature construction. Feature selection aims to select relevant
features out of a larger pool. A selected combination may aid visualisation
and thus understanding of a dataset as well as improve the prediction
performance of learning algorithms. To this end, three general approaches
exist: wrapper, filter and embedded methods. While wrappers employ
an arbitrary learning algorithm for assessing the value of a feature
combination, filters rely on statistical criteria. Most recently,
embedded methods attracted research interest, wherein feature selection
is integrated into a learning algorithm. Feature construction algorithms
on the other hand reconstruct the subsignals of an additive superposition.
The key approach thereby is matrix factorisation by constraints.
Frequent constraints used for this purpose are statistical independence
as well as non-negativity and sparsity, leading to problem specific
algorithms. This book supports life science researchers with adapted
data mining methods from both feature selection and feature construction
for proteomics and metabolomics. We describe biomarker identification
for breast cancer prediction using a SVM-based wrapper and develop
faster wrapper algorithms using surrogate-based optimisation. Applying
filters for ranking-specific feature selection, we also design a
cost-efficient prediction system for proteotypic peptides. As an
application, embedded methods are used to infer energetical interaction
patterns in protein 3D structures. Finally, we develop a novel factorisation
method for feature construction to decompose IR spectra within a
metabolomics context.},

sequencing and synchronisation of animations, and an undo-functionality.
Thesketches are drawn directly onto a model in a 3D view and are
translated into time-dependent joint transformations.We present the
design concepts, the implementation of a prototype, and a user study
assessing theusability of our animation metaphors. The user study
demonstrates that the animation metaphors are intuitive,with the
exception of animation ordering. A large variety of animations were
successfully created by users.More work is necessary to synchronise
animations better. Overall our research demonstrates that sketchedbasedanimations
can be useful for applications requiring rapid prototyping containing
a limited number ofjoint animations. Examples are the programming
of household robots and the creation of simple animatedscenes in

abstract = {ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Alternative splicing (AS) is a process which
generates several distinct mRNA isoforms from the same gene by splicing
different portions out of the precursor transcript. Due to the (patho-)physiological
importance of AS, a complete inventory of AS is of great interest.
While this is in reach for human and mammalian model organisms, our
knowledge of AS in plants has remained more incomplete. Experimental
approaches for monitoring AS are either based on transcript sequencing
or rely on hybridization to DNA microarrays. Among the microarray
platforms facilitating the discovery of AS events, tiling arrays
are well-suited for identifying intron retention, the most prevalent
type of AS in plants. However, analyzing tiling array data is challenging,
because of high noise levels and limited probe coverage. RESULTS:
In this work, we present a novel method to detect intron retentions
(IR) and exon skips (ES) from tiling arrays. While statistical tests
have typically been proposed for this purpose, our method instead
utilizes support vector machines (SVMs) which are appreciated for
their accuracy and robustness to noise. Existing EST and cDNA sequences
served for supervised training and evaluation. Analyzing a large
collection of publicly available microarray and sequence data for
the model plant A. thaliana, we demonstrated that our method is more
accurate than existing approaches. The method was applied in a genome-wide
screen which resulted in the discovery of 1,355 IR events. A comparison
of these IR events to the TAIR annotation and a large set of short-read
RNA-seq data showed that 830 of the predicted IR events are novel
and that 525 events (39\%) overlap with either the TAIR annotation
or the IR events inferred from the RNA-seq data. CONCLUSIONS: The
method developed in this work expands the scarce repertoire of analysis
tools for the identification of alternative mRNA splicing from whole-genome
tiling arrays. Our predictions are highly enriched with known AS
events and complement the A. thaliana genome annotation with respect
to AS. Since all predicted AS events can be precisely attributed
to experimental conditions, our work provides a basis for follow-up
studies focused on the elucidation of the regulatory mechanisms underlying
tissue-specific and stress-dependent AS in plants.},

abstract = {Mass spectrometry and peptide-centric approaches are powerful techniques
for the identification of differentially expressed proteins. Despite
enormous improvements in MS technologies, sample preparation and
efficient fractionation of target analytes are still major bottlenecks
in MS-based protein analysis. The complexity of tryptically digested
whole proteomes needs to be considerably reduced before low abundance
proteins can be effectively analyzed using MS/MS. Sample preparation
strategies that use peptide-specific antibodies are able to reduce
the complexity of tryptic digests and lead to a substantial increase
in throughput and sensitivity; however, the number of peptide-specific
capture reagents is low, and consequently immunoaffinity-based approaches
are only capable of detecting small sets of protein-derived peptides.
In this proof-of-principle study, special anti-peptide antibodies
were used to enrich peptides from a complex mixture. These antibodies
recognize short amino acid sequences that are found directly at the
termini of the peptides. The recognized epitopes consist of three
or four amino acids only and include the terminally charged group
of the peptide. Because of its limited length, antibodies recognizing
the epitope will enrich not only one peptide but a whole class of
peptides that share this terminal epitope. In this study, $\beta$-catenin-derived
peptides were used to demonstrate that it is possible (i) to effectively
generate antibodies that recognize short C-terminal peptide epitopes
and (ii) to enrich and identify peptide classes from a complex mixture
using these antibodies in an immunoaffinity MS approach. The expected
$\beta$-catenin peptides and a set of 38 epitope-containing peptides
were identified from trypsin-digested cell lysates. This might be
a first step in the development of proteomics applications that are
based on the use of peptide class-specific antibodies.},

abstract = {In recent years biology has shifted its focus from the mainly descriptive
exploration of individual organisms, cells, or molecules towards
a holistic investigation of the complex interactions within living
systems. This progress is driven by the development of large-scale
measurement techniques, e.g., the timely resolved simultaneous quantification
of many cellular components. The exploration of these data sets requires
the application of methods from other areas of natural science and
the development of novel analysis methods. At this intersection systems
biology aims to understand mutual interactions and influences between
biological components. Control mechanisms and regulation of processes,
which often show a nonlinear behavior, are to be described. Predicting
the dynamics of complex interaction systems constitutes its main
challenge.
Computational modeling methods play a central role to attain this goal.
Without loss of generality, we here focus on metabolic systems in preparation
for an extension to gene-regulatory systems. Physico-chemical, in particular
thermodynamic, constraints restrict the investigated systems and define the
domain of plausible and valid models. Setting up such a mathematical
description is not only complicated and highly error-prone, it also requires
knowledge from many different fields and is therefore not easily applicable
for non-experts. This thesis aims at the development of a method that performs
the model construction steps to the widest extent automatically, reducing the
number of necessary human interactions to a minimum but that still leads to
thermodynamically feasible and correct model systems.
To this end, it introduces a five-step modeling pipeline that ultimately
leads to a mathematical description of a biochemical reaction system.
We discuss how to automate each individual step and how to put these
steps together: First, we create a topology of interconversion processes
and mutual influences between reactive species encoded in the Systems
Biology Markup Language (SBML) including semantic information. Second,
a procedure is established that generates kinetic equations in a
context-sensitive manner. The resulting model can then be combined
with already existing models. Third, we estimate the values of all
newly introduced parameters in each created rate law. This procedure
requires that a time series of quantitative measurements of the reactive
species within this system be available, because we calibrate the
parameters with the aim that the model will fit these experimental
data. The applicability and functioning of these approaches is demonstrated
on a model of the valine and leucine biosynthesis in \emph{C.~glutamicum}.
In a large-scale benchmark the results of seven modeling techniques
are systematically compared when estimating their parameters with
a multitude of nature-inspired heuristic optimization processes.
This step is crucial for the development of an automatic modeling
procedure because it highlights the strength and weaknesses of all
these approaches. Fourth, an experimental validation of the resulting
model is advisable. Fifth, a model report is generated automatically
to document the model with all of its components.
In an extension, this computer-aided modeling pipeline is further developed
to a fully automatic procedure, the AMUSE algorithm (Automated Modeling
Using Specialized Enzyme kinetics). The network topology in form of an
SBML file and biological reference data, i.e., at least one time-series
of participating metabolite concentrations and some relevant target
fluxes, build its only required input. Based on latest estimation
methods for standard reaction Gibbs energies, AMUSE determines a
thermodynamically feasible, minimal equilibrium configuration of
the system, identifies the key reactions and selects kinetic equations
describing all reaction velocities. Furthermore, it estimates all
remaining parameters with respect to given experimental data.
For a better understanding, we begin with an introduction to fundamental
modeling and generalized approaches for common rate equations. Subsequently,
parameter estimation techniques are introduced and evaluated on the
valine and leucine biosynthesis in \emph{C.~glutamicum}. Thereafter,
standardization attempts in systems biology will be discussed that
are required for the computer-aided modeling pipeline. This pipeline
necessitates extending the existing standards. In particular, the
development and implementation of JSBML, the Java library for SBML,
has been conducted to simplify computation and manipulation of complex
models. A discussion of possible further improvements and an extension
of the suggested modeling pipeline to gene-regulatory networks completes
this thesis.},

robustness and reproducibility. Furthermore, we consider the predictive
potential of different compound classes. We find that classifiers
fail in discriminating the non-selected data accurately, but benefit
considerably from feature subset selection. Especially, a Pareto-based
multi-objective genetic algorithm detects highly discriminative subsets
and outperforms widely used heuristics. When transferred to new data,
feature sets assembled by the ensemble approach show greater robustness

scouting, e.g., for the task of weed control. For this task a key
enabler is a robust detection and classification of the plant and

challenging task, because some species look very similar. It is also
difficult to translate the symbolic high level description of the
appearances and the differences between the plants used by humans,
into a formal, computer understandable form. Also it is not possible
to reliably detect structures, like leaves and branches in 3D data
provided by our sensor. One approach to solve this problem is to
learn how to classify the species by using a set of example plants
and machine learning methods. In this paper we are introducing a
method for distinguishing plant species using a 3D LIDAR sensor and
supervised learning. For that we have developed a set of size and
rotation invariant features and evaluated experimentally which are
the most descriptive ones. Besides these features we have also compared
different learning methods using the toolbox Weka. It turned out
that the best methods for our application are simple logistic regression
functions, support vector machines and neural networks. In our experiments
we used six different plant species, typically available at common
nurseries, and about 20 examples of each species. In the laboratory
we were able to identify over 98% of these plants correctly.},

A conflict arises when the same role is assigned to more than one

while each assigned robot is traveling to the target position. Furthermore,
dynamic consensus is used to measure the degree of task completion
in this work. Once the consensus reaches a preset threshold, implying
that robots should abandon the current task and start the next one.
We verify our proposed framework through simulations on a team of

these experimental data. Fourth, an experimental validation of the
resulting model is advisable. Finally, a model report should be generated
to document the model with all of its components. For a better understanding,
we start our consideration with an introduction into necessary standardization
attempts in today's systems biology and generalized approaches for
common rate equations before we discuss the computer-aided modeling,
parameter estimation, and automatic report generation. We complete
this chapter with a discussion on possible further improvements of
our modeling pipeline.},

abstract = {The scaling properties of multimodal optimization methods have seldom
been studied, and existing studies often concentrated on the idea
that all local optima of a multimodal function can be found and their
number can be estimated a priori. We argue that this approach is
impractical for complex, high-dimensional target functions, and we
formulate alternative criteria for scalable multimodal optimization
methods. We suggest that a scalable niching method should return
the more local optima the longer it is run, without relying on a
fixed number of expected optima. This can be fulfilled by sequential
and semi-sequential niching methods, several of which are presented
and analyzed in that respect. Results show that, while sequential
local search is very successful on simpler functions, a clustering-based
particle swarm approach is most successful on multi-funnel functions,
offering scalability even under deceptive multimodality, and denoting
it a starting point towards effective scalable niching.},

abstract = {BACKGROUND: Mass spectrometry (MS) based protein profiling has become
one of the key technologies in biomedical research and biomarker
discovery. One bottleneck in MS-based protein analysis is sample
preparation and an efficient fractionation step to reduce the complexity
of the biological samples, which are too complex to be analyzed directly
with MS. Sample preparation strategies that reduce the complexity
of tryptic digests by using immunoaffinity based methods have shown
to lead to a substantial increase in throughput and sensitivity in
the proteomic mass spectrometry approach. The limitation of using
such immunoaffinity-based approaches is the availability of the appropriate
peptide specific capture antibodies. Recent developments in these
approaches, where subsets of peptides with short identical terminal
sequences can be enriched using antibodies directed against short
terminal epitopes, promise a significant gain in efficiency.RESULTS:We
show that the minimal set of terminal epitopes for the coverage of
a target protein list can be found by the formulation as a set cover
problem, preceded by a filtering pipeline for the exclusion of peptides
and target epitopes with undesirable properties.CONCLUSIONS:For small
datasets (a few hundred proteins) it is possible to solve the problem
to optimality with moderate computational effort using commercial
or free solvers. Larger datasets, like full proteomes require the
use of heuristics.},

abstract = {This study demonstrates the high efficiency of the so-called stack-ordering
technique for optimizing a groundwater management problem under uncertain
conditions. The uncertainty is expressed by multiple equally probable
model representations, such as realizations of hydraulic conductivity.
During optimization of a well-layout problem for contaminant control,
a ranking mechanism is applied that extracts those realizations that
appear most critical for the optimization problem. It is shown that
this procedure works well for evolutionary optimization algorithms,
which are to some extent robust against noisy objective functions.
More precisely, differential evolution (DE) and the Covariance Matrix
Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) are applied. Stack ordering
is comprehensively investigated for a plume management problem at
a hypothetical template site based on parameter values measured at
and on a geostatistical model developed for the Lauswiesen study
site near T\"ubingen, Germany. The straightforward procedure yields
computational savings above 90% in comparison to always evaluating
the full set of realizations. This is confirmed by cross testing
with four additional validation cases. The results show that both
evolutionary algorithms obtain highly reliable near-optimal solutions.
DE appears to be the better choice for cases with significant noise
caused by small stack sizes. On the other hand, there seems to be
a problem-specific threshold for the evaluation stack size above
which the CMA-ES achieves solutions with both better fitness and
higher reliability.},

be used to extend existing 3D molecular kernel functions, as applied

are valid 4D kernel functions and reduce the dependency of the model
quality on suitable conformations of the molecules. We showed in
several experiments the robust performance of the 4D kernel function,
which was extended by our approach, in comparison to the original
3D-based kernel function. The new method compares the conformational
space of two molecules within one kernel evaluation. Hence, the number
of kernel evaluations is significantly reduced in comparison to common
kernel-based conformational space averaging techniques. Additionally,
the performance gain of the extended model correlates with the flexibility
of the data set and enables an a priori estimation of the model improvement.},

abstract = {AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: We aimed to identify, in the liver of mice, signal
transduction pathways that show a pronounced regulation by acute
exercise. We also aimed to elucidate the role of metabolic stress
in this response. METHODS: C57Bl6 mice performed a 60 min run on
a treadmill under non-exhaustive conditions. Hepatic RNA and protein
lysates were prepared immediately after running and used for whole-genome-expression
analysis, quantitative real-time PCR and immunoblotting. A subset
of mice recovered for 3 h after the treadmill run. A further group
of mice performed the treadmill run after having received a vitamin
C- and vitamin E-enriched diet over 4 weeks. RESULTS: The highest
number of genes differentially regulated by exercise in the liver
was found in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling
pathway, with a pronounced and transient upregulation of the transcription
factors encoded by c-Fos (also known as Fos), c-Jun (also known as
Jun), FosB (also known as Fosb) and JunB (also known as Junb) and
phosphorylation of hepatic MAPK. Acute exercise also activated the
p53 signalling pathway. A major role for oxidative stress is unlikely
since the antioxidant-enriched diet did not prevent the activation
of the MAPK pathway. In contrast, lower plasma glucose levels after
running were related to enhanced levels of MAPK signalling proteins,
similar to the upregulation of Igfbp1 and Pgc-1alpha (also known
as Ppargc1a). In the working muscle the activation of the MAPK pathway
was weak and not related to plasma glucose concentrations. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION:
Metabolic stress evidenced as low plasma glucose levels appears to
be an important determinant for the activation of the MAPK signalling
pathway and the transcriptional response of the liver to acute exercise.},

title = {Estimation of the applicability domain of kernel-based machine learning
models for virtual screening},
journal = {Journal of Cheminformatics},
year = {2010},
volume = {2},
pages = {2},
number = {1},
abstract = {BACKGROUND:The virtual screening of large compound databases is an
important application of structural-activity relationship models.
Due to the high structural diversity of these data sets, it is impossible
for machine learning based QSAR models, which rely on a specific
training set, to give reliable results for all compounds. Thus, it
is important to consider the subset of the chemical space in which
the model is applicable. The approaches to this problem that have
been published so far mostly use vectorial descriptor representations
to define this domain of applicability of the model. Unfortunately,
these cannot be extended easily to structured kernel-based machine
learning models. For this reason, we propose three approaches to
estimate the domain of applicability of a kernel-based QSAR model.RESULTS:We
evaluated three kernel-based applicability domain estimations using
three different structured kernels on three virtual screening tasks.
Each experiment consisted of the training of a kernel-based QSAR
model using support vector regression and the ranking of a disjoint
screening data set according to the predicted activity. For each
prediction, the applicability of the model for the respective compound
is quantitatively described using a score obtained by an applicability
domain formulation. The suitability of the applicability domain estimation
is evaluated by comparing the model performance on the subsets of
the screening data sets obtained by different thresholds for the
applicability scores. This comparison indicates that it is possible
to separate the part of the chemspace, in which the model gives reliable
predictions, from the part consisting of structures too dissimilar
to the training set to apply the model successfully. A closer inspection
reveals that the virtual screening performance of the model is considerably
improved if half of the molecules, those with the lowest applicability
scores, are omitted from the screening.CONCLUSION:The proposed applicability
domain formulations for kernel-based QSAR models can successfully
identify compounds for which no reliable predictions can be expected
from the model. The resulting reduction of the search space and the
elimination of some of the active compounds should not be considered
as a drawback, because the results indicate that, in most cases,
these omitted ligands would not be found by the model anyway.},

to searching for an optimal threshold vector. Our experiments, carried
out on synthetic and clinical data, show a sensitivity of up to 0.958

our algorithm outperforms linear SVM for training cases having many

approach as a coupling of Gaussian Process modeling, a regression
technique from machine learning, with the Particle Swarm Optimization
metaheuristic. It uses earlier function evaluations to predict areas

that model-assistance improves the performance across a set of standard

abstract = {The scarcity of water compared with the abundance of land constitutes
the main drawback within agricultural production. Besides the improvement
of irrigation techniques a task of primary importance is solving
the problem of intra-seasonal irrigation scheduling under limited
seasonal water supply. An efficient scheduling algorithm has to take
into account the crops' response to water stress at different stages
throughout the growing season. Furthermore, for large scale planning
tools compact presentations of the relationship between irrigation
practices and grain yield, such as crop water production functions,
are often used which also rely on an optimal scheduling of the considered
irrigation systems. In this study, two new optimization algorithms
for single-crop intra-seasonal scheduling of deficit irrigation systems
are introduced which are able to operate with general crop growth
simulation models. First, a tailored evolutionary optimization technique
(EA) searches for optimal schedules over a whole growing season within
an open-loop optimization framework. Second, a neuro-dynamic programming
technique (NDP) is used for determining optimal irrigation policy.
In this paper, different management schemes are considered and crop-yield
functions generated with both the EA and the NDP optimization algorithms
compared.},

abstract = {Background: Sensory proteins react to changing environmental
conditions by transducing signals into the cell. These signals are integrated
into core proteins that activate downstream target proteins such
as transcription factors (TFs). This structure is referred to as
a bow tie, and allows cells to respond appropriately to complex environmental
conditions. Understanding this cellular processing of information,
from sensory proteins (e.g., cell-surface proteins) to target proteins
(e.g., TFs) is important, yet for many processes the signaling pathways
remain unknown.
Results: Here, we present BowTieBuilder for inferring signal transduction
pathways from multiple source and target proteins. Given protein-protein
interaction (PPI) data signaling pathways are assembled without knowledge of
the intermediate signaling proteins while maximizing the overall probability
of the pathway. To assess the inference quality, BowTieBuilder and three
alternative heuristics are applied to several pathways, and the resulting
pathways are compared to reference pathways taken from KEGG. In addition,
BowTieBuilder is used to infer a signaling pathway of the innate immune
response in humans and a signaling pathway that potentially regulates an
underlying gene regulatory network.
Conclusions: We show that BowTieBuilder, given multiple source and/or target
proteins, infers pathways with satisfactory recall and precision rates and
detects the core proteins of each pathway.},

abstract = {SUMMARY: The XML-based Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) has
emerged as a standard for storage, communication and interchange
of models in systems biology. As a machine-readable format XML is
difficult for humans to read and understand. Many tools are available
that visualize the reaction pathways stored in SBML files, but many
components, e.g., unit declarations, complex kinetic equations or
links to MIRIAM resources, are often not made visible in these diagrams.
For a broader understanding of the models, support in scientific
writing and error detection, a human-readable report of the complete
model is needed. We present SBML2\LaTeX, a Java-based stand-alone
program to fill this gap. A convenient web service allows users to
directly convert SBML to various formats, including DVI, \LaTeX{}

hot topic in the feature matching field, whose matching ability is
strong, and could process the matching problems with translation,
rotation and affine transformation among different images, and to
a certain extent is with more stable feature matching ability for
images which are captured from random different angles.In this paper,
single camera is first calibrated using plane chessboard based on
OpenCV,in order to overcome shortcomings in traditional and previous
self-calibration methods, SIFT algorithm is proposed to calibrate
stereo cameras after two cameras intrinsic parameters are calibrated.
Fundamentalmatrix is gained through several matching points in two
images using SIFT feature matching method, combined with intrinsic
parameters, we can compute essential matrix. Translation matrix and
the rotation matrix of stereo cameras can be resolved through SVD
of essential matrix known as Huang- Faugeras constrains. Experiment
results show that our method can calibrate relationship of stereo
cameras accurately, and be able to calibrate two cameras in any circumstances.
The algorithm has strong adaptability and robustness, but the expense
time needs to be further improved.},

abstract = {In this work, we introduce a new method to regard the geometry in

space of a molecule. Our idea is to break down the molecular conformation
into the local conformations of neighbor atoms with respect to core
atoms. This local geometry can be implicitly accessed by the trajectories
of the neighboring atoms, which are emerge by rotatable bonds. In
our approach, the physicochemical atomic similarity, which can be
used in structured similarity measures, is augmented by a local flexibility
similarity, which gives a rough estimate of the similarity of the
local conformational space. We incorporated this new type of encoding
the flexibility into the optimal assignment molecular similarity
approach, which can be used as a pseudokernel in support vector machines.
The impact of the local flexibility was evaluated on several published
QSAR data sets. This lead to an improvement of the model quality
on 9 out of 10 data sets compared to the unmodified optimal assignment
kernel.},

journal = {BMC Systems Biology},
year = {2009},
volume = {3},
pages = {5},
number = {5},
month = jan,
abstract = {Background:
To understand the dynamic behavior of cellular systems, mathematical
modeling is often necessary and comprises three steps: (1) experimental
measurement of participating molecules, (2) assignment of rate laws to each
reaction, and (3) parameter calibration with respect to the measurements.
In each of these steps the modeler is confronted with a plethora of
alternative approaches, e.g., the selection of approximative rate laws in
step two as specific equations are often unknown, or the choice of an
estimation procedure with its specific settings in step three. This overall
process with its numerous choices and the mutual influence between them
makes it hard to single out the best modeling approach for a given problem.
Results:
We investigate the modeling process using multiple kinetic equations
together with various parameter optimization methods for a
well-characterized example network, the biosynthesis of valine and leucine
in \emph{C.~glutamicum}. For this purpose, we derive seven dynamic models
based on generalized mass action, Michaelis-Menten and convenience kinetics
as well as the stochastic Langevin equation. In addition, we introduce two
modeling approaches for feedback inhibition to the mass action kinetics. The
parameters of each model are estimated using eight optimization strategies.
To determine the most promising modeling approaches together with
the best optimization algorithms, we carry out a two-step benchmark:
(1) coarse-grained comparison of the algorithms on all models and
(2) fine-grained tuning of the best optimization algorithms and models.
To analyze the space of the best parameters found for each model,
we apply clustering, variance, and correlation analysis.
Conclusion:
A mixed model based on the convenience rate law and the Michaelis-Menten
equation, in which all reactions are assumed to be reversible, is
the most suitable deterministic modeling approach followed by a reversible
generalized mass action kinetics model. A Langevin model is advisable
to take stochastic effects into account. To estimate the model parameters,
three algorithms are particularly useful: For first attempts the
settings-free Tribes algorithm yields valuable results. Particle
swarm optimization and differential evolution provide significantly
better results with appropriate settings.},

title = {Prediction of breast cancer by profiling of urinary RNA metabolites
using Support Vector Machine-based feature selection},
journal = {BMC Cancer},
year = {2009},
volume = {9},
number = {104},
abstract = {BACKGROUND: Breast cancer belongs to the most frequent and severe
cancer types in human. Since excretion of modified nucleosides from
increased RNA metabolism has been proposed as a potential target
in pathogenesis of breast cancer, the aim of the present study was
to elucidate the predictability of breast cancer by means of urinary
excreted nucleosides. METHODS: We analyzed urine samples from 85
breast cancer women and respective healthy controls to assess the
metabolic profiles of nucleosides by a comprehensive bioinformatic
approach. All included nucleosides/ribosylated metabolites were isolated
by \emph{cis}-diol specific affinity chromatography and measured
with liquid chromatography ion trap mass spectrometry (LC-ITMS).
A valid set of urinary metabolites was selected by exclusion of all
candidates with poor linearity and/or reproducibility in the analytical
setting. The bioinformatic tool of Oscillating Search Algorithm for
Feature Selection (OSAF) was applied to iteratively improve features
for training of Support Vector Machines (SVM) to better predict breast
cancer. RESULTS: After identification of 51 nucleosides/ribosylated
metabolites in the urine of breast cancer women and/or controls by
LC- ITMS coupling, a valid set of 35 candidates was selected for
subsequent computational analyses. OSAF resulted in 44 pairwise ratios
of metabolite features by iterative optimization. Based on this approach
ultimately estimates for sensitivity and specificity of 83.5% and
90.6% were obtained for best prediction of breast cancer. The classification
performance was dominated by metabolite pairs with SAH which highlights
its importance for RNA methylation in cancer pathogenesis. CONCLUSION:
Extensive RNA-pathway analysis based on mass spectrometric analysis
of metabolites and subsequent bioinformatic feature selection allowed
for the identification of significant metabolic features related
to breast cancer pathogenesis. The combination of mass spectrometric
analysis and subsequent SVM-based feature selection represents a
promising tool for the development of a non-invasive prediction system.},

of reflecting structures, but also to classify its geological reason.
The reflection coefficient of a radar signal depends on the reflecting
material. Numerous propeties of the recorded signal can be used to
assign a reflection with geology. Necessary is the knowledge about
unique parameters for a classification and the validation of the
results in a known environment. Data from well explored salt mines
allows this validation. Neuronal networks are a good tool to optimize
parameter sets or patterns regarding to its relevance for an assignment.
A neuronal network consists of simple units which transmit information
weighted and directed to the next level. The connections between
the units are characterized by activation functions which vary during
learning processes. By validating a parameter set it is possible
to connect an input level with an output level and creating an associative
pattern without knowing the deterministic rules between them. Which
parameters of a radar signal are relevant to get a result with this
method is the topic of this paper. The neuronal network simulator
JNNS used here was developed at the university Stuttgart.},

abstract = {This paper focuses on motion control problems of an omnidirectional
robot based on the Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) method.
Although NMPC has been studied in many mobile robots applications
due to the advantages of taking the robot constraints into account
and increasing the robot performance with future information, the
high computational requirement makes NMPC difficult to be utilized
in the real systems with fast sampling time. In order to reduce the
computational effort, many works either eliminate the computations
which are necessary to keep the control stability, or linearize the
nonlinear models only with local stability. Lots of research only
presents the simulation results with NMPC. The main contributions
of this paper are not only to analyze and design NMPC controllers
with guaranteed stability to nonlinear kinematic models, but also
to show the feasibility of NMPC with a real fast moving omnidirectional
robot.},

title = {{SBMLsqueezer: a CellDesigner plug-in to generate kinetic rate equations
for biochemical networks}},
journal = {BMC Systems Biology},
year = {2008},
volume = {2},
pages = {39},
number = {1},
month = apr,
abstract = {Background:
The development of complex biochemical models has been facilitated through
the standardization of machine-readable representations like SBML (Systems
Biology Markup Language). This effort is accompanied by the ongoing
development of the human-readable diagrammatic representation SBGN (Systems
Biology Graphical Notation). The graphical SBML editor CellDesigner allows
direct translation of SBGN into SBML, and vice versa. For the assignment of
kinetic rate laws, however, this process is not straightforward, as it often
requires manual assembly and specific knowledge of kinetic equations.
Results:
SBMLsqueezer facilitates exactly this modeling step via automated equation
generation, overcoming the highly error-prone and cumbersome process of
manually assigning kinetic equations. For each reaction the kinetic equation
is derived from the stoichiometry, the participating species (e.g., proteins,
mRNA or simple molecules) as well as the regulatory relations (activation,
inhibition or other modulations) of the SBGN diagram. Such information
allows distinctions between, for example, translation, phosphorylation
or state transitions. The types of kinetics considered are numerous,
for instance generalized mass-action, Hill, convenience and several
Michaelis-Menten-based kinetics, each including activation and inhibition.
These kinetics allow SBMLsqueezer to cover metabolic, gene regulatory,
signal transduction and mixed networks. Whenever multiple kinetics
are applicable to one reaction, parameter settings allow for user-defined
specifications. After invoking SBMLsqueezer, the kinetic formulas
are generated and assigned to the model, which can then be simulated
in CellDesigner or with external ODE solvers. Furthermore, the equations
can be exported to SBML, \LaTeX{} or plain text format.
Conclusion:
SBMLsqueezer considers the annotation of all participating reactants,
products and regulators when generating rate laws for reactions.
Thus, for each reaction, only applicable kinetic formulas are considered.
This modeling scheme creates kinetics in accordance with the diagrammatic
representation. In contrast most previously published tools have
relied on the stoichiometry and generic modulators of a reaction,
thus ignoring and potentially conflicting with the information expressed
through the process diagram. Additional material and the source code
can be found at the project homepage (URL found in the Availability
and requirements section).},

the analysis of gene expression mediated by \emph{cis}-regulatory
elements (CREs). Regulatory DNA sequences harbor essential information
to control specific gene expression and integrate information derived
from signaling cascades. By the means of microarrays, the abundance
of several thousand transcripts can be monitored simultaneously.
This data can be used to model the flow of information from incoming
signals via CREs that orchestrate gene expression, which may converge
on downstream CREs. In the last few years, many large, directly comparable
microarray datasets have been performed in the AtGenExpress project
with the plant model organism \emph{Arabidopsis thaliana}. Each of
these datasets constitutes an invaluable information resource for
the study of plant developmental processes, physiological responses
or interaction with its environment. Moreover, there is an increasing
number of multidimensional expression datasets, for which suitable
analysis programs that can keep track of all dimensions are still
missing. Additional limitations of microarray analysis include overcoming
a ``smoothing effect" on the relative gene expression when a large
number of expression profile datasets are combined for comparison.
Ultimately, the investigation of CREs possibly involved in regulating
transcription is best aided by using specific gene clusters and determining
linkage between gene expression, CRE position, orientation and number.},

early diagnosis of cancer. For determination of nucleosides in randomly
collected urine samples, the nucleosides were extracted using affinity

were quantified in urine samples from 51 breast cancer patients and
65 healthy women. The measured concentrations were used to train
a Support Vector Machine (SVM) and a k-nearest-neighbor classifier
(k-NN) to discriminate between healthy control subjects and patients
suffering from breast cancer. Evaluations of the learned models by
computing the leave-one-out error and the prediction error on an
independent test set of 29 subjects (15 healthy, 14 breast cancer
patients) showed that by using the eleven nucleosides, the occurrence
of breast cancer could be forecasted with 86% specificity and 94%
sensitivity when using an SVM and 86% for both specificity and sensitivity
with the k-NN model. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

cancer disease, the cell turnover and thus RNA metabolism is increased,

In the presented study, urinary ribonucleosides were used to differentiate
between breast cancer patients and healthy volunteers. The nucleosides
were extracted from urine samples using affinity chromatography and
subsequently analyzed via liquid chromatography ion trap mass spectrometry
(LC-IT-MS). The peak areas were related to the internal standard
isoguanosine and to the urinary creatinine level. For bioinformatic
pattern recognition we used the support vector machine. We examined
113 urine samples from breast cancer patients (stage Tis-T4) and
99 control samples from healthy volunteers. We achieved a sensitivity
of 87.67% and a specificity of 89.90% when including 31 nucleosides.
The medical metabonomics concept based on the urinary nucleoside
profile reveals a significantly improved classification compared
with currently applied breast cancer biomarkers such as CA15-3.},

a novel method which tackles these challenges: Inspired by vision-based

estimation of the robot pose. Our experiments show that the new technique
enables a robot to successfully localize itself in an indoor environment.
The accuracy is comparable to the one of a previous approach using
an explicit model of detection probabilities. Our method, however,
requires fewer iterations of the underlying particle filter in order
to converge to the approximate robot pose.},

ball with respect to the mobile robot coordinate system, a constraint
for robot movement in the dribbling process is also introduced. The

journal = {Journal of Integrative Bioinformatics},

abstract = {We developed an integrative approach for discovering gene modules,
i.e. genes that are tightly correlated under several experimental
conditions and applied it to a threedimensional Arabidopsis thaliana
microarray dataset. The dataset consists of approximately 23000 genes
responding to 9 abiotic stress conditions at 6-9 different points
in time. Our approach aims at finding relatively small and dense
modules lending themselves to a specific biological interpretation.
In order to detect gene modules within this dataset, we employ a
two-step clustering process. In the first step, a k-means clustering
on one condition is performed, which is subsequently used in the
second step as a seed for the clustering of the remaining conditions.
To validate the significance of the obtained modules, we performed
a permutation analysis and determined a null hypothesis to compare
the module scores against, providing a p-value for each module. Significant
modules were mapped to the Gene Ontology (GO) in order to determine
the participating biological processes. As a result, we isolated
modules showing high significance with respect to the p-values obtained
by permutation analysis and GO mapping. In these modules we identified
a number of genes that are either part of a general stress response
with similar characteristics under different conditions (coherent
modules), or part of a more specific stress response to a single
stress condition (single response modules). We also found genes clustering
within several conditions, which are, however, not part of a coherent
module. These genes have a distinct temporal response under each
condition. We call the modules they are contained in individual response
modules (IR).},

expression profiles},
journal = {BMC Bioinformatics},
year = {2007},
volume = {8},
pages = {334},
number = {1},
abstract = {Background: Cells dynamically adapt their gene expression patterns
in response to various stimuli. This response is orchestrated into
a number of gene expression modules consisting of co-regulated genes.
A growing pool of publicly available microarray datasets allows the
identification of modules by monitoring expression changes over time.
These time-series datasets can be searched for gene expression modules
by one of the many clustering methods published to date. For an integrative
analysis, several time-series datasets can be joined into a three-dimensional
gene-condition-time dataset, to which standard clustering or biclustering
methods are, however, not applicable. We thus devise a probabilistic
clustering algorithm for gene-condition-time datasets. Results: In
this work, we present the EDISA (Extended Dimension Iterative Signature
Algorithm), a novel probabilistic clustering approach for 3D gene-condition-time
datasets. Based on mathematical definitions of gene expression modules,
the EDISA samples initial modules from the dataset which are then
refined by removing genes and conditions until they comply with the
module definition. A subsequent extension step ensures gene and condition
maximality. We applied the algorithm to a synthetic dataset and were
able to successfully recover the implanted modules over a range of
background noise intensities. Analysis of microarray datasets has
lead us to define three biologically relevant module types: 1) We
found modules with independent response profiles to be the most prevalent
ones. These modules comprise genes which are co-regulated under several
conditions, yet with a different response pattern under each condition.
2) Coherent modules with similar responses under all conditions occurred
frequently, too, and were often contained within these modules. 3)
A third module type, which covers a response specific to a single
condition was also detected, but rarely. All of these modules are
essentially different types of biclusters. Conclusion: We successfully
applied the EDISA to different 3D datasets. While previous studies
were mostly aimed at detecting coherent modules only, our results
show that coherent responses are often part of a more general module
type with independent response profiles under different conditions.
Our approach thus allows for a more comprehensive view of the gene
expression response. After subsequent analysis of the resulting modules,
the EDISA helped to shed light on the global organization of transcriptional
control. An implementation of the algorithm is available at \url{http://www-ra.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/software/IAGEN/}.},

membrane proteins that transduce signals across the cell membrane.
Because of that important property and other physiological roles
undertaken by the GPCR family, they have been an important target
of therapeutic drugs. The function of many GPCRs is not known and
accurate classification of GPCRs can help us to predict their function.
In this study we suggest a kernel based method to classify them at
the subfamily and sub-subfamily level. To enhance the accuracy and
sensitivity of classifiers at the sub-subfamily level that we were
facing with a low number of sequences (imbalanced data), we used
our new synthetic protein sequence oversampling (SPSO) algorithm
and could gain an overall accuracy and Matthew's correlation coefficient
(MCC) of 98.4% and 0.98 for class A, nearly 100% and 1 for class
B and 96.95% and 0.91 for class C, respectively, at the subfamily
level and overall accuracy and MCC of 97.93%, and 0.95 at the sub-subfamily
level. The results shows that Our oversampling technique can be used
for other applications of protein classification with the problem

applied to robot localization. Still, the number of features extracted
with this approach is immense, especially when dealing with omnidirectional

abstract = {Knowledge generation by comparative genomics become more and more
meaningful due to the increased availability of genomic sequence
data. This thesis compares the genomes of $\beta$-proteobacteria,
a taxonomic group of bacteria showing a high degree of diversity.
Sequenced species of this group inhabit various ecological niches.
Therefore, they need special features to surviving toxic heavy metal
concentrations, to act as pathogens of plants or animals or to degrade
organic substances, which are normally difficult to break down. These
characteristic features are mediated by special proteins, leading
to the question, if characteristic proteins can be detected automatically
by comparing the sequences of related proteins of different species.
By comparison of highly conserved proteins with essential life functions
in a taxonomic context a measurement should be developed to normalize
later on comparison of these specialized proteins. The taxonomic
context of different bacterial species can be derived from comparisons
of the highly conserved genes for the 16 S rRNA, which is involved
in the protein synthesis of bacteria. To perform those comparisons
different algorithms have been released. For global alignments the
Needleman-Wunsch algorithm or a special Hidden Markov Model can be
used. Local alignments can be done by the Smith-Waterman algorithm
or its heuristic approximation BLAST. Global alignments compare whole
sequences, whereas local alignments find longest conserved regions
in two sequences. Proteins contain functional regions (domains) surrounded
by less important regions, so that these can be compared by local
alignments. The complete 16 S rRNA sequence is essential for its
functionality, so that for taxonomic analysis global alignments are
needed. To evaluate the quality of alignments different substitutions
matrices like BLOSUM, PAM, NUC contain scores for the substitution
of a symbol with another one. The sum of these scores is the score
of the alignment. Several online database servers like NCBI, RDP,
EMBL, JGI, SwissProt, Tigr and many others provide genomic and proteomic
sequence data of different species. These databases grow at an exponential
rate, because new techniques of sequencing proteins and genetic elements
in high throughput analysis are used and data can be uploaded by
individual authors, laboratories or other scientific institutions.
However, to use these data to perform comparative local analysis,
an efficient way of storage has to be found. Problems of data storage
occur due to the different naming conventions of species, genes,
proteins and other biological data. To maintain the data consistently
without redundancy, a database server was installed using MySQL.
As a relation scheme BioSQL was used. To integrate downloaded data
into the local database different pre-processing steps (data cleaning)
were necessary. A client program to compare the locally stored data
was implemented in Java, using the open source library BioJava. The
resulting database application also provides interactive visualizations
of the data in the database such as the taxonomic tree and genetic
annotations. It contains a graphical user interface to interact with
BioSQL without knowledge of databases. In addition, different file
formats of biological sequence data can be converted into each other.
With a special dialog global and local sequence alignments can be
performed interactively. The BioJava library had to be extended to
provide the full functionality of that program. This application
was used on a selection of essential proteins (involved in DNA transcription
and translation) of 15 $\beta$-proteobacteria and 7 $\gamma$-proteobacteria
and non essential proteins (involved in heavy metal resistance) and
the 16 S rRNA genes. All comparisons are relative to the well investigated
species \emph{Escherichia coli} K12. Plotting the protein similarity
against the taxonomic neighborhood shows an almost linear increase
for essential proteins with taxonomic nearness. The other proteins
show higher variability. This leads to the conclusion that proteins
with special features are less conserved than highly essential proteins,
so that these can be detected from the taxonomic context by normalization
with essential proteins.},

abstract = {AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The adipokine adiponectin has insulin-sensitising,
anti-atherogenic and anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, the
genes for mouse and human adiponectin receptor-1 (ADIPOR1) and -2
(ADIPOR2) have been cloned. The aim of this study was to investigate
whether genetic variants of the genes encoding ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2
play a role in human metabolism. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We screened
ADIPOR1 and ADIPOR2 for polymorphisms and determined their association
with glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, an atherogenic lipid profile
and inflammatory markers in 502 non-diabetic subjects. A subgroup
participated in a longitudinal study; these subjects received diet
counselling and increased their physical activity. RESULTS: We identified
six variants of ADIPOR1 and seven variants of ADIPOR2. A single-nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP) in the putative promoter region 8503 bp upstream
of the translational start codon (-8503 G/A) of ADIPOR1 (frequency
of allele A=0.31) was in almost complete linkage disequilibrium with
another SNP (-1927 T/C) in intron 1. Subjects carrying the -8503
A and -1927 C alleles had lower insulin sensitivity, as estimated
from a 75 g OGTT (p=0.04) and determined during a euglycaemic clamp
(n=295, p=0.04); they also had higher HbA(1)c levels (p=0.02) and,
although the difference was not statistically significant, higher
liver fat (n=85, determined by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy,
p=0.056) (all p values are adjusted for age, sex and percentage of
body fat). In the longitudinal study (n=45), the -8503 A and -1927
C alleles were associated with lower insulin sensitivity (p=0.03)
and higher liver fat (p=0.02) at follow-up compared with the -8503
G and -1927 T alleles, independently of basal measurements, sex and
baseline and follow-up percentage of body fat. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION:
The present findings suggest that the -8503 G/A SNP in the promoter
or the -1927 T/C SNP in intron 1 of ADIPOR1 may affect insulin sensitivity
and liver fat in humans.},

engineering method. Simulations of the cI circuit are used for the
reconstruction, whereas a simplified cI circuit model assists the
modeling phase. Several levels of complexity are evaluated, subsequently
the reconstructed models show different properties. As a result,
we reconstruct an abstract model, capturing the dynamic behavior

often preferred. Unfortunately, evolutionary algorithms can have
problems to eliminate certain components completely, especially in
multi-modal or neutral search spaces. A simple extension of the real-valued
representation enables evolutionary algorithms to solve these types
of optimization problems more efficiently. In case of multi-objective
optimization some of these compositional optimization problems show
most peculiar structures on the Pareto front. Here, the Pareto front
is often non-convex and consists of multiple local segments. This
feature invites parallelization based on the 'divide and conquer'
principle, since subdivision into multiple local multi-objective
optimization problems seems to be feasible. Therefore, we introduce
a new parallelization scheme for multi-objective evolutionary algorithms

natural landmark classification using acoustic image matching. The
aim of this approach is to take advantage of the perceived properties
of bats' prey and landmark identification mechanisms for mobile robots'
tracking of natural landmarks. Recognizing natural landmarks like
trees through sequential echolocation and acoustic image analyzing
allows mobile robot to update its location in the natural environment.
In this work, a working implementation of the biosonar system on
a mobile robot is shown. It collects sequential echoes to produce
acoustic images through digital signal processing (DSP), then compresses
images with discrete cosine transform or pyramid algorithm. Fast
normalized cross correlation (FNCC) and kernel principal component
analysis (KPCA) are respectively used to make the final classification.
Experimental result indicates that a mobile robot can achieve the
ability of natural landmark classification only based on biomemetic
sonar, the topological congruency of the relational structure with
cross correlation in acoustic images is reliable in time domain,
while the kernel principle component analysis based classification
is robust in frequency domain and demands fewer echolocation for
landmark classification.},

abstract = {The package JavaEvA (a Java implementation of Evolutionary Algorithms)
is a general modular framework with an inherent client server structure
to solve practical optimization problems. This package was especially
designed to test and develop new approaches for Evolutionary Algorithms
and to utilize them in real-world applications. JavaEvA already provides
implementations of the most common Evolutionary Algorithms, like
Genetic Algorithms, CHC Adaptive Search, Population Based Incremental
Learning, Evolution Strategies, Model-Assisted Evolution Strategies,
Genetic Programming and Grammatical Evolution. In addition the modular
framework of JavaEvA allows everyone to add their own optimization
modules to meet their specific requirements. The JavaEvA package
uses a generic GUI framework that allows GUI access to any member
of a class if get and set methods are provided and an editor is defined
for the given data type. This approach allows very fast development
cycles, since hardly any additional effort is necessary for implementing
GUI elements, while still at the same time user specific GUI elements
can be developed and integrated to increase usability. Since we cannot
anticipate specific optimization problem and requirements, it is
necessary for users to define their optimization problem. Therefore,
we provide an additional framework and explain how one can include
JavaEvA in an existing Java project or how one can implement ones
own optimization problem and optimize it by using JavaEvA. This gives
users total control of the optimization algorithms used.},

abstract = {Kernel methods, like the well-known Support Vector Machine (SVM),
have received growing attention in recent years for designing QSAR
models that have a high predictive strength. One of the key concepts
of SVMs is the usage of a so-called kernel function, which can be
thought of as a special similarity measure. In this paper we consider
kernels for molecular structures, which are based on a graph representation
of chemical compounds. The similarity score is calculated by computing
an optimal assignment of the atoms from one molecule to those of
another one, including information on specific chemical properties,
membership to a substructure (e.g., aromatic ring, carbonyl group,
etc.) and neighborhood for each atom. We show that by using this
kernel we can achieve a generalization performance comparable to
a classical model with a few descriptors, which are a-priori known
to be relevant for the problem, and significantly better results
than with and without performing an automatic descriptor selection.
For this purpose we investigate ADME classification and regression
datasets for predicting bioavailability (Yoshida), Human Intestinal
Absorption (HIA), Blood-Brain-Barrier (BBB) penetration and a dataset
consisting of four different inhibitor classes (SOL). We further
explore the effect of combining our kernel with a problem-dependent
descriptor set. We also demonstrate the usefulness of an extension
of our method to a reduced graph representation of molecules, in
which certain structural features, like, e.g., rings, donors or acceptors,
are represented as a single node in the molecular graph.},

abstract = {CONTEXT: The voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.3 (KCNA3) is expressed
in a variety of tissues including liver and skeletal muscle. In animal
models, knockout of Kv1.3 has been found to improve insulin sensitivity
and glucose tolerance. OBJECTIVE: We examined whether mutations in
the Kv1.3 gene exist in humans and whether they are associated with
alterations of glucose homeostasis. DESIGN AND SETTING: We conducted
a genotype-phenotype association study at a university hospital.
PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: In 50 nondiabetic subjects, we screened
approximately 4.5 kb of chromosome 1 comprising the single exon,
the promoter/5'-untranslated region, and the 3'-untranslated region
of the human Kv1.3 gene for mutations by direct sequencing. Subsequently,
all identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms were analyzed in 552
nondiabetic subjects who underwent an oral glucose tolerance test
(OGTT). Of these, 304 had undergone an additional hyperinsulinemic
euglycemic clamp. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: We assessed postprandial
blood glucose during OGTT and insulin sensitivity measured by hyperinsulinemic
euglycemic clamp. RESULTS: We identified five single-nucleotide polymorphisms
in the promoter region (T-548C, G-697T, A-845G, T-1645C, and G-2069A)
with allelic frequencies of the minor allele of 26, 23, 9, 41, and
16%, respectively. The -1645C allele was associated with higher plasma
glucose concentrations in the 2-h OGTT (P = 0.03) even after adjustment
for sex, age, and body mass index (P = 0.002). In addition, it was
associated with lower insulin sensitivity (P = 0.01, adjusted for
sex, age, and body mass index). Functional in vitro analysis using
EMSA showed differential transcription factor binding to the T-1645C
polymorphism. CONCLUSIONS: We show that a variant in the promoter
of the Kv1.3 gene is associated with impaired glucose tolerance and
lower insulin sensitivity. Therefore, the Kv1.3 channel represents
a candidate gene for type 2 diabetes.},

limited number of available data the inferring problem is under-determined

appropriate optimization strategies become necessary. We propose
a new method, which evolves the topology as well as the parameters

abstract = {The Compressed Feature Matrix (CFM) is a new molecular descriptor
for adaptive similarity searching. Depending on the requirements,
it is based on a distance or geometry matrix. Thus, the CFM permits
topological and three-dimensional comparisons of molecules. In contrast
to the common distance matrix, the CFM is based on features instead
of atoms. Each kind of these features may be weighted separately,
depending on its (estimated) contribution to the biological effect
of the molecule. In this work, we show that the CFM allows us to
adapt similarity evaluations to particular ligands as well as to
classification requirements. The CFM method is analyzed regarding
correctness, adaptivity and speed. Applying the basic setting of
feature weights, the similarity evaluations using the CFM on the
one hand and the Tanimoto coefficient together with MACCS Keys on
the other yield similar results. However, in contrast to the latter
method, the CFM even permits us to focus on small parts of molecules
to serve as a basis for similarity. Accordingly, we have achieved
striking results not only by readjusting the feature weights with
regard to the scaffold but also to the side chain of the respective
target. The results of the latter run turned out to be rather independent
of the molecular scaffold. Hence, the CFM is suitable not only for
common similarity evaluation, but also for techniques such as lead
or scaffold hopping.},

abstract = {The compressed feature matrix (CFM) is a feature based molecular descriptor
for the fast processing of pharmacochemical applications such as
adaptive similarity search, pharmacophore development and substructure
search. Depending on the particular purpose, the descriptor may be
generated upon either topological or Euclidean molecular data. To
assure a variable utilizability, the assignment of the structural
patterns to feature types is arbitrarily determined by the user.
This step is based on a graph algorithm for substructure search,
which resembles the common substructure descriptors. While these
merely allow a screening for the predefined patterns, the CFM permits
a real substructure/subgraph search, presuming that all desired elements
of the query substructure are described by the selected feature set.
In this work, the CFM based substructure search is evaluated with
regard to both the different outputs resulting from varying feature
sets and the search speed. As a benchmark we use the programmable
atom typer (PATTY) graph algorithm. When comparing the two methods,
the CFM based matrix algorithm is up to several hundred times faster
than PATTY and when using the CFM as a basis for substructure screening,
the search speed is accelerated by three orders of magnitude. Thus,
the CFM based substructure search complies with the requirements
for interactive usage, even for the evaluation of several hundred
thousand compounds. The concept of the CFM is implemented in the
software COFEA.},

A distance measure is the underlying property on which many neural
models rely, for example self-organizing maps or neural gas. However,
a distance measure implies some requirements on the data which are
not always easy to satisfy in practice. This paper shows that a weaker
measure, the similarity measure, is sufficient in many cases. As
an example, similarity-based networks for strings are presented.
Although a metric can also be defined on strings, similarity is the
established measure in string-intensive research, like computational
molecular biology. Similarity-based neural networks process data
based on the same criteria as other tools for analyzing DNA or amino-acid
sequences.},

abstract = {This paper explores the use of the Gabor wavelet representation of
an image for robust object tracking in robot vision (object grasping,
gesture recognition and face tracking in human-robot interaction).
For image decomposition we developed a fast non-iterative transform
algorithm, in which the original image is processed with a 2D Gabor
wavelet filter bank. We used the positions of the local extrema (low-level
object features) in the filter responses to calculate a set of Gabor
wavelet coefficients. That guarantees on the one hand a low redundancy
of the resulting representation and on the other hand an automatic
detection of the significant features in the image. To prove the
quality of the object representation the image can be reconstructed
from the descriptor. It was shown that such descriptors can be used
for real-time scale invariant object tracking by gradient following
or template adaptation. Tracking control was realized by a scale
factor discriminator control technique and convolution based 2D cross-correlation.
Our experiments revealed that this method enables real-time object
or face tracking in a wide scale range and provides robustness against
high frequency camera vibrations, from which cameras on mobile vehicles
suffer.},

abstract = {The paper describes a fast and flexible descriptor selection method
using a genetic algorithm variant (GA-SEC). The relevance of the
descriptors will be measured using Shannon entropy (SE) and differential
Shannon entropy (DSE), which have very sparse memory requirements
and allow the processing of huge data sets. A small quantity of the
most important descriptors will be used automatically to build a
value prediction model. The most important descriptors are not a
linear combination of other descriptors, but transparent, pure descriptors.
We used an artificial neural network (ANN) model to predict the aqueous
solubility logS and the octanol/water partition coefficient logP.
The logS data set was divided into a training set of 1016 compounds
and a test set of 253 compounds. A correlation coefficient of 0.93
and an empirical standard deviation of 0.54 were achieved. The logP
data set was divided into a training set of 1853 compounds and a
test set of 138 compounds. A correlation coefficient of 0.92 and
an empirical standard deviation of 0.44 were achieved.},

using sensor gloves. Previously sensor gloves are used in games or
in applications with custom gestures. This paper explores their use
in Sign Language recognition. This is done by implementing a project
called "Talking Hands", and studying the results. The project uses
a sensor glove to capture the signs of American Sign Language performed
by a user and translates them into sentences of English language.
Artificial neural networks are used to recognize the sensor values
coming from the sensor glove. These values are then categorized in
24 alphabets of English language and two punctuation symbols introduced
by the author. So, mute people can write complete sentences using
this application.},

abstract = {The operation of modern technical systems is often controlled by electronic
units. In the automotive sector lattice-like look-up tables are a
common representation of non-linear multi-dimensional parameter functions
of actuators. Regardless of the strongly restricted memory capacity
of automotive electronic control units, manufacturers need to introduce
additional functionalities to meet the new specifications. With an
increasing number of adjustable actuators the number of parameters
and thus the memory requirement within the control unit grows enormously.
This work introduces a method based on evolutionary and classical
optimization algorithms which reduces the memory requirement for
2-dimensional look-up tables.},

gas sensing facilities, are added to an autonomous mobile robot.
For the gas detection, up to eight metal oxide sensors are operated
using a commercial sensor system. The robot is able to move and navigate
autonomously. The geometric information is extracted from laser range
finder data. This input is used to build up an internal map while
driving. Using the new sensor the localisation of a gas source in
unventilated in-house environments is performed. First experiments
in a one-dimensional case show a very good correlation between the
peak and the gas source. The one-dimensional concentration profile
is repeatedly recorded and stable for at least two hours. The two-dimensional
experiments exhibit a circulation of the air within the room due
to temperature and hence density effects. The latter is limiting
the available recording time for the two-dimensional mapping.},

abstract = {The so-called tangential neurons in the fly brain are sensitive to
the typical optic flow patterns generated during self-motion. This
suggests a possible involvement in the self-motion estimation process.
In this study, the authors examine whether a simplified matched filter
model of these neurons can be used to estimate self-motion from the
optic flow. They present a theory for the construction of an optimal
matched filter incorporating both the noise properties of the motion
signal, and prior knowledge about the distance distribution of the
environment. Tests on a mobile robot demonstrate that the matched
filter approach works for real time camera input and the noisy motion
fields computed by Reichardt motion detectors},

abstract = {In this paper we address the problem of detecting, tracking, and pursuing
persons with a mobile robot in real-time. Our system consists of
two cooperatively interacting parts: A visual gaze holding process
using an active stereo vision system and a component controlling
the trajectory of the robot. The detection process is based on an
approach which combines color, motion, and contour information. Additionally,
facial features and depth information are integrated to increase
the robustness of detection. For navigation a potential field method
is used taking into account the path of the person going ahead as
well as a local environment map built by means of laser range sensor
data. Consequently, stationary and dynamic obstacles can be avoided
during the process of pursuit. The system is able to operate at approximately
human walking rates},

strategies (ESs) and a common graphical user interface. We concentrate
on the descriptions of the two distributed implementations of GAs
and ESs which are of most interest for the future. We present comparisons
of different kinds of genetic algorithms and evolution strategies
that include implementations of distributed algorithms on the Intel
Paragon, a large MIMD computer, and massively parallel algorithms
on a 16384 processor MasPar MP-1, a large SIMD computer. The results
show that parallelization of evolution strategies not only achieves
a speedup in execution time of the algorithm, but also a higher probability
of convergence and an increase of quality of the achieved solutions.
In the benchmark functions we tested, the distributed ESs have a
better performance than the distributed GAs.},

feedforward networks we have obtained sustained rates of up to 348
MCPS and 129 MCUPS with backpropagation, a high mark for general

first focuses on the problems of mapping neural networks to parallel
hardware. Different aspects of parallelism are presented. Two combinations
of unit and training pattern parallelism were implemented as well
as link and training pattern parallelism. We describe the implementation
problems in obtaining high propagation rates on a SIMD machine and
problems with the resulting learning algorithms in general.},

technique with backtracking with a backpropagation network to learn

with several grammars for English and German. The design of the system

of their derivations or have to simulate a serial flow of control.
In the first case, users have to restrict the tasks (e.g. parse less
complex or shorter sentences) of the parser or they need to believe
in the soundness of the result. In the second case, the resulting
network has lost most of its attractivity because seriality needs
to be hard-coded into the structure of the net. We here present a
hybrid symbolic connectionist parser, which was designed to fulfill
the following goals: (1) parsing of sentences without length restriction,
(2) soundness and completeness for any context-free grammar, and
(3) learning the applicability of parsing rules with a neural network.
Our hybrid architecture consists of a serial parsing algorithm and
a trainable net. BrainC (Backtracking and Backpropagation in C) combines
the well known shift-reduce parsing technique with backtracking with
a backpropagation network to learn and represent the typical properties
of the trained natural language grammars. The system has been implemented

results we observed.},
