Abstract:
:An interactive computer program written in BASIC with the objective of assisting the identification of species of common gastrointestinal parasites of humans is presented. The computer program acquires observational information needed for the identification of a parasite from the user. The user selects a description from a set of given descriptions that best fits the parasite observed. Depending on the response of the user, the program presents another set of descriptions from which the user must choose again, and so on, until the program concludes with the species of the parasite, the mode of infection, the affected system(s), and the treatment of choice.

杂志文章abstract::As many structures of protein-DNA complexes have been known in the past years, several computational methods have been developed to predict DNA-binding sites in proteins. However, its inverse problem (i.e., predicting protein-binding sites in DNA) has received much less attention. One of the reasons is that the differ...
