Abstract Background Most biological experiments are inherently designed to compare changes or transitions of state between conditions of interest. The advancements in data intensive research have in particular elevated the need for resources and tools enabling comparative analysis of biological data. The complexity of biological systems and the interactions of their various components, such as genes, proteins, taxa, and metabolites, have been inferred, represented, and visualized via graph theory-based networks. Comparisons of multiple networks can help in identifying variations across different biological systems, thereby providing additional insights. However, while a number of online and stand-alone tools exist for generating, analyzing, and visualizing individual biological networks, the utility to batch process and comprehensively compare multiple networks is limited. Results Here, we present a graphical user interface (GUI)-based web application which implements multiple network comparison methodologies and presents them in the form of organized analysis workflows. Dedicated comparative visualization modules are provided to the end-users for obtaining easy to comprehend, insightful, and meaningful comparisons of various biological networks. We demonstrate the utility and power of our tool using publicly available microbial and gene expression data. Conclusion NetConfer tool is developed keeping in mind the requirements of researchers working in the field of biological data analysis with limited programming expertise. It is also expected to be useful for advanced users from biological as well as other domains (working with association networks), benefiting from provided ready-made workflows, as they allow to focus directly on the results without worrying about the implementation. While the web version allows using this application without installation and dependency requirements, a stand-alone version has also been supplemented to accommodate the offline requirement of processing large networks.

Abstract Summary Biomine Explorer is a web application that enables interactive exploration of large heterogeneous biological networks constructed from selected publicly available biological knowledge sources. It is built on top of Biomine, a system which integrates cross-references from several biological databases into a large heterogeneous probabilistic network. Biomine Explorer offers user-friendly interfaces for search, visualization, exploration and manipulation as well as public and private storage of discovered subnetworks with permanent links suitable for inclusion into scientific publications. A JSON-based web API for network search queries is also available for advanced users. Availability and implementation Biomine Explorer is implemented as a web application, which is publicly available at https://biomine.ijs.si. Registration is not required but registered users can benefit from additional features such as private network repositories.

The paper presents the results of comparative analysis of two competing web application technologies: ASP.NET MVC from Microsoft and JavaServer Faces (JSF) supported by Oracle. The research was done by implementing two applications with the same functionality using the same MySQL database. The most commonly used ORM tools are Hibernate for JSF and Entity Framework for ASP.NET MVC. The research was done by comparison the application structure, ease of implementation, support of the development environment, community support, graphical interface components, and database performance.

This paper presents how IoT and its related technologies are used to tame human kidnapping. IoT design, geo-fencing, API integration, and GPS signal formed the backbone of the proposed system. While the GSM base stations provide signals for the system, the frontends are the mobile phone devices, application interface, and the GPS. The location signal is transmitted to the server when the subject enters or exits the geofence for movement and direction tracing. The IoT component hosts the web application, MySQL and GMS are used to provide backend solutions, and the GPS guarantees communication and placement of the subject on the search map. The implementation involved suitable platforms and engines and followed up with case study of kidnapping scenarios involving 20 randomly selected individuals. The study established the practical function of the system and its good performances in areas of availability, concealment, security, location accuracy, seamless data transmission, among others. Comparative analysis with related works also established the relative strength of the new method.

In this article, two leading solutions for managing packages in projects which are using JavaScript technology (yarn and npm) were subjected to a comparative analysis. As part of the implementation, two configuration files were created, one of which represents an empty application created on the basis of an application template based on the Angular framework in version 8. The second file reflects an extensive web application based on the same framework, but with the addiction of over 100 dependencies. The research was focused on the time efficiency of both solutions.

This article presents the results of a comparison of capabilities and efficiency of REST in Java using frameworks such as Jersey, Apache CXF and Spring MVC. Comparative analysis was conducted on the basis of application implemented by each of the above frameworks. Application have been implemented using technologies such as Spring Boot, Hibernate, Maven, and MySQL.

The improvement of global Internet access and the COVID-19 pandemic, which necessitated mass testing of online teaching methods, have forwarded the competition between higher education institutions from the regional level and the struggle for the rich student into the competition for students in all countries. The paper aims to determine the influence of the rating of higher education institutions on the interest of Internet users by conducting a comparative analysis of the popularity of the official names of higher education institutions in search queries in Ukraine and Poland. To do this, a comparative analysis of the change in the interest in leading higher education institutions in Ukraine and Poland in search queries in the Google search engine is carried out. The analysis is performed using the Google Trends web application. As a result, it is found that a high position of the university in the national ranking does not guarantee more search queries about it on the Internet by both national Internet users and users from the neighboring country. In general, Internet users continue to be most interested in universities located in their region at the time of the search.
