Presentation: Integrative analysis of transcriptomics and proteomics data with ArrayMining and TopoGSA
Abstract:
The increasing availability of large-scale biological datasets has not only led to the development of many specialized bioinformatics analysis methods but also entails the opportunity and challenge to combine already available algorithms and datasets as building blocks in new meta-level approaches.
In our web-applications for microarray and gene/protein set analysis, ArrayMining.net and TopoGSA, we present various integrative methods, including ensemble and con¬sensus techniques as well as modular combinations of different analysis types, to ex¬tract new insights from experimental data. Apart from the combination of closely re¬lated datasets and algorithms, the major purpose of these tools is to integrate knowl¬edge extraction methods from widely different fields, e.g. statistics, optimisation and topological network analysis.
As an example for these integrative analysis techniques, we present a microarray con¬sensus-clustering approach based on Simulated Annealing, which is part of the ArrayMining.net Class Discovery Analysis module, and demonstrate how this ap¬proach can be combined in a modular fashion with a prior gene set analysis. The re¬sults reveal that improved cluster validity indices can be obtained by merging the two methods, and provide pointers to distinct sub-classes within pre-defined tumour categories for a breast cancer dataset by the Nottingham Queens Medical Centre.
In the second part of the talk, we show how results from a supervised microarray fea¬ture selection analysis on ArrayMining.net can be investigated in further detail with TopoGSA, a new web-tool for network topological analysis of gene/protein sets mapped on a comprehensive human protein-protein interaction network. Finally, we discuss results from a TopoGSA analysis of the complete set of genes currently known to be mutated in cancer (Futreal et al., 2004). The presented web-applications are freely available at www.infobiotics.net and the work have been published recently (Glaab, Garibaldi and Krasnogor, 2009, BMC Bioinformatics; Glaab, Baudot, Krasnogor and Valencia, 2010, Bioinformatics).

Cloudworks is a place for sharing and discussing learning and teaching ideas across professional boundaries. It applies best practices of Web 2.0 and since its 2009 launch has nearly 3,000 registered users and over 80,000 visitors. The document discusses how Cloudworks serves as a "pedagogical wrapper" to support idea sharing and recommends including information like prompts for key details and a shared language when uploading sequences to encourage discussion and collaboration.
The document discusses different methods for mapping learning designs at the macro, meso, and micro levels:
1. A Course Map provides an overview of a course across four key dimensions.
2. A Learning Outcomes view shows how learning activities and assessments align with intended outcomes.
3. A Pedagogy Profile maps different student activity types across a course or sequence of learning events.
The goal is to represent learning designs using a shared language and notational system to generate, interpret, discuss, remember, navigate, and share learning designs. Different representations are needed to articulate certain design elements.

The document introduces three design representations for mapping out a course:
1) A Course Map view represents a course in terms of content and activities, communication and collaboration, guidance and support, and reflection and demonstration.
2) A Pedagogy Profile characterizes learning tasks into six types and looks at the spread of assessment across a course.
3) A Learning Outcomes view maps learning activities and assessment tasks to intended learning outcomes, based on the premise that students construct meaning from learning activities which are aligned to outcomes by teachers.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
