PLS-SEM: Indeed a Silver Bullet
Structural equation modeling (SEM) has become a quasi-standard in marketing and management research when it comes to analyzing the cause-effect relations between latent construc...
Detecting Functionality-Specific Vulnerabilities via Retrieving Individual Functionality-Equivalent APIs in Open-Source Repositories
Functionality-specific vulnerabilities, which mainly occur in Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) with specific functionalities, are crucial for software developers to det...
Parallel Distributed Processing
What makes people smarter than computers? These volumes by a pioneering neurocomputing group suggest that the answer lies in the massively parallel architecture of the human min...
Squeeze-and-Excitation Networks
The central building block of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is the convolution operator, which enables networks to construct informative features by fusing both spatial a...
Finding Structure in Time
Time underlies many interesting human behaviors. Thus, the question of how to represent time in connectionist models is very important. One approach is to represent time implici...
Active contours without edges
We propose a new model for active contours to detect objects in a given image, based on techniques of curve evolution, Mumford-Shah (1989) functional for segmentation and level ...
VSEARCH: a versatile open source tool for metagenomics
Background VSEARCH is an open source and free of charge multithreaded 64-bit tool for processing and preparing metagenomics, genomics and population genomics nucleotide sequence...
A modified particle swarm optimizer
Evolutionary computation techniques, genetic algorithms, evolutionary strategies and genetic programming are motivated by the evolution of nature. A population of individuals, w...
Systematic review or scoping review? Guidance for authors when choosing between a systematic or scoping review approach
BackgroundScoping reviews are a relatively new approach to evidence synthesis and currently there exists little guidance regarding the decision to choose between a systematic re...
Targeted gene expression as a means of altering cell fates and generating dominant phenotypes
ABSTRACT We have designed a system for targeted gene expression that allows the selective activation of any cloned gene in a wide variety of tissueand cell-specific patterns. Th...
