Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships

A methodology to incorporate the three-dimensional molecular shape descriptor (3 D-MSD) into a quantitative structure-activity relationship is discussed in detail. The 3 D-MSD is calculated and correlated with Kiapp values for a set of 2,4-diamino-5-benzylpyrimidines which inhibit E. coli DHFR. The correlation (n = 22, r = 0.95, s = 0.214, F = 55.10) indicates that the polarization interaction dominates the enzyme-inhibitor interactional pattern.

Wavelet Descriptor

Leaf is one of the most important organs of plant. Leaf contour or outline, usually a closed curve, is a fundamental morphological feature of leaf in botanical research. In this paper, a novel shape descriptor based on periodic wavelet series and leaf contour is presented, which we name as Periodic Wavelet Descriptor (PWD). The PWD of a leaf actually expresses the leaf contour in a vector form. Consequently, the PWD of a leaf has a wide range in practical applications, such as leaf modeling, plant species identification and classification, etc. In this work, the plant species identification and the leaf contour reconstruction, as two practical applications, are discussed to elaborate how to employ the PWD of a plant leaf in botanical research.

Wavelet Descriptor

In many image analysis applications, such as image retrieval, the shape of an object is of primary importance. In this paper, a new shape descriptor, namely the Normalized Wavelet Descriptor (NWD), which is a generalization and extension of the Wavelet Descriptor (WD), is introduced. The NWD is compared to the Fourier Descriptor (FD), which in image retrieval experiments conducted by Zhang and Lu, outperformed even the Curvature Scale Space Descriptor (CSSD). Image retrieval experiments have been conducted using a dataset containing 2D-contours of 1400 objects extracted from the standard MPEG7 database. For the chosen dataset, our experimental results show that the NWD outperforms the FD.

Symbol Classification

PurposeWhen the augmentative and alternative communication (ACC) model (Lloyd et al., 1990) was proposed, these components of symbols were not considered, nor were they contemplated when superordinate (Lloyd and Fuller, 1986) and subordinate levels (Fuller et al., 1992) of AAC symbol taxonomy were developed. The purpose of this paper is to revisit the ACC model and propose a new symbol classification system called multidimensional quaternary symbol continuum (MQSC)Design/methodology/approachThe field of AAC is evolving at a rapid rate in terms of its clinical, social, research and theoretical underpinnings. Advances in assessment and intervention methods, technology and social issues are all responsible to some degree for the significant changes that have occurred in the field of AAC over the last 30 years. For example, the number of aided symbol collections has increased almost exponentially over the past couple of decades. The proliferation of such a large variety of symbol collections represents a wide range of design attributes, physical attributes and linguistic characteristics for aided symbols and design attributes and linguistic characteristics for unaided symbols.FindingsTherefore, it may be time to revisit the AAC model and more specifically, one of its transmission processes referred to as the means to represent.Originality/valueThe focus of this theoretical paper then, is on the current classification of symbols, issues with respect to the current classification of symbols in terms of ambiguity of terminology and the evolution of symbols, and a proposal for a new means of classifying the means to represent.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon10.1108/JET-04-2021-0024
