  • Adaptive Algorithm for Interactive Question-based Search

    Publication

    - Year 2012

    Popular web search engines tend to improve the relevanceof their result pages, but the search is still keyword-oriented and far from "understanding" the queries' meaning. In the article we propose an interactive question-based search algorithm that might come up helpful for identifying users' intents. We describe the algorithm implemented in a form of a questions game. The stress is put mainly on the most critical aspect of this...

  • Role of the Solvation Water in Remote Interactions of Hyperactive Antifreeze Proteins with the Surface of Ice

    Most protein molecules do not adsorb onto ice, one of the exceptions being so-called antifreeze proteins. In this paper, we describe that there is a force pushing an antifreeze protein molecule away from the ice surface when it is not oriented with its ice-binding plane toward the ice and that this pushing force may be also present even when the protein is oriented with its ice-binding plane toward the ice. This force is absent...
