PREDICTIVE RESEARCH [10 records]

Record 1 2012-03-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Statistical Methods
DEF

A solution that supports the identification of meaningful patterns and correlations among variables in complex, structured and unstructured, historical and potential future data sets for the purposes of predicting future events and assessing the attractiveness of various courses of action.

CONT

Advanced analytics typically incorporate such functionality as data mining, descriptive modeling, econometrics, forecasting, operations research, optimization, predictive modeling, simulation, statistics, and text analytics.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Méthodes statistiques
DEF

Solution qui permet l'identification de modèles et de corrélations importants parmi les variables qui se trouvent dans des ensembles de données complexes, structurés ou non, historiques ou futurs, afin de prédire des événements et d'évaluer les différents plans d'action.

Subject field(s)
  • Biological Sciences

The tools of contemporary molecular biology generate a bewildering prospect in that an astronomical number of single amino acid replacements can be generated in even a small enzyme containing only about 100 amino acid residues... Oligodeoxynucleotide-directed mutagenesis allows the systematic replacement of every single amino acid residue in a protein in turn... Since only a small subset of possible mutant proteins can be examined in the design and production of engineered proteins, target proteins must be carefully considered, and research must be guided by tools such as X-ray crystallography and molecular modeling. Clearly, however, the predictive power of X-ray diffraction techniques and molecular modeling will be much greater for some amino acid substitutions than for others. Mechanism-based inactivation of enzymes will be easy to predict given a known mechanism of action for an enzyme.

L'ingénierie des protéines est l'ensemble des techniques qui permettent, si possible à partir de la connaissance de la structure tridimensionnelle des protéines, de fabriquer des protéines "sur mesure" entièrement nouvelles ou de remodeler d'une manière rationnelle et spécifique la structure des protéines naturelles afin d'améliorer leur fonction et rentabiliser ainsi leur emploi dans la technologie des aliments, ou les industries pharmaceutique et agrochimique. On peut, par exemple, modifier la stabilité thermique, la spécificité, l'activité, ou déplacer le pH optimum des enzymes. Au sens strict, la modification de la structure moléculaire (obtenue par substitutions d'acides aminés) se fait grâce aux modifications correspondantes au niveau des gènes par mutagénèse dirigée. Il faut souligner cependant que des protéines améliorées peuvent être obtenues également par la modification chimique des résidus d'acides aminés accessibles.

Ecological Concepts. Many assessments have ignored several principles of ecological theory such as nutrient cycling, energy flow, primary productivity, eutrophication, succession, assimilative capacity, and a host of others. Studies are not normally undertaken to elucidate these concepts, nor do they serve as predictive frameworks for assessments. A notable exception is the Peace-Athabasca Delta Project which incorporated a two-year research programme aimed at predicting effects on faunal populations through knowledge of the successional patterns of vegetation communities following a lowering of surface and ground water levels. Another example is the South Davis Strait Project in which an attempt was made to understand the variability of the annual phytoplankton bloom and its importance in sustaining secondary productivity throughout the remainder of the year.

Concepts écologiques. Nombre d'évaluations ignorent plusieurs principes de la théorie écologique tels que le cycle des substances nutritives, le flux énergétique, la productivité primaire, l'eutrophisation, la succession, la capacité d'assimilation, etc. Le plus souvent, les études n'ont pas pour but d'élucider ces concepts ou de servir de cadre prévisionnel aux évaluations. Le projet du delta des rivières de la Paix et Athabasca constitue en ce sens une exception remarquable; il comportait un programme de recherche de deux ans dans le but de prévoir les effets sur la faune, au moyen de la connaissance de la succession des communautés végétales suite à un abaissement du niveau des eaux de surface et des eaux souterraines. Un autre exemple nous est fourni par le projet de forage dans la partie méridionale du détroit de Davis où l'on a tenté de comprendre la variabilité de la poussée phytoplanctonique annuelle et son importance dans le maintien de la productivité secondaire pendant tout le reste de l'année.
