E-Governance Implementation: Challenges of Effective Service Delivery in Civil Service of Nepal

Civil servants are often charged not providing effective services though they have sufficient resources and technological knowhow. The author is trying to explore the challenges of effective service delivery in civil service as implementing e-governance in Nepal. Survey method was used to generate data and adopted quantitative research technique. The study has claimed that Nepal has been facing numerous challenges during service delivery while implementing e-governance. Infrastructure development, human resource development and management, digital divide, are identified as the major challenges. Unnecessary influence of middleman and syndicate created by some hidden groups make government service holdup. Needless expansion of government agencies and its employees; too many layers in decision-making process; more process oriented service delivery rather than result oriented, failure to make individual officials responsible; and a lack of decentralization of necessary authority to the officials are the other challenges

Word Sense Disambiguation using WSD specific Wordnet of Polysemy Words

This paper presents a new model of WordNet that is used to disambiguate the correct sense of polysemy word based on the clue words. The related words for each sense of a polysemy word as well as single sense word are referred to as the clue words. The conventional WordNet organizes nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs together into sets of synonyms called synsets each expressing a different concept. In contrast to the structure of WordNet, we developed a new model of WordNet that organizes the different senses of polysemy words as well as the single sense words based on the clue words. These clue words for each sense of a polysemy word as well as for single sense word are used to disambiguate the correct meaning of the polysemy word in the given context using knowledge based Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) algorithms. The clue word can be a noun, verb, adjective or adverb

“Addition” and “Subtraction”: Selectivity Design for Type II Maternal Embryonic Leucine Zipper Kinase Inhibitors

While <i>adding</i> the structural features that are more favored by on-target activity is the more common strategy in selectivity optimization, the opposite strategy of <i>subtracting</i> the structural features that contribute more to off-target activity can also be very effective. Reported here is our successful effort of improving the kinase selectivity of type II maternal embryonic leucine zipper kinase inhibitors by applying these two complementary approaches together, which clearly demonstrates the powerful synergy between them
