Abuse of Dominant Position by Refusing to Issue Copyright Licenses

Controlled Natural Language rendering of Copyright Ontology licenses

Digital Rights Management and, more concretely, Rights Expression Languages can benefit from formal semantics based on ontologies. However, this increased level of formality can make licenses even harder to read than those based on less formal solutions like XML Schemas. In order to overcome this usability issue, the Copyright Ontology is based on an ontologyengineering pattern that follows a N...

Copyright Licenses Reasoning using an OWL-DL Ontology

In order to extract the full potential from Internet-wide content sharing and reuse, the underlying copyright issues must be taken into account. The novel requirements are not satisfied by traditional Digital Rights Management. Open licensing initiatives seem more appropriate, but they lack the required computerised support. Our proposal facilitates interoperation while providing a rich framewo...

Refusing to be suppressed

On page 737, Fahlén et al. show that colitis-inducing effector T cells that cannot respond to the suppressive cytokine TGFrefuse to be controlled by regulatory T (T reg) cells. Naturally occurring T reg cells suppress the activity of effector CD4 T cells and are essential for the prevention of autoimmune disease and chronic inflammation. TGFappears to be required for T reg cell activity, but de...

As technology scales down, coupling between nodes of the circuits increases and becomes an important factor in interconnection analysis. In many cases like the deep submicron technology (DSM), the coupling between lines (inter-wire capacitance) is strong and the power consumed by parasitic capacitance is non-negligible [1-6]. In this work, we employ the differential low-weight encoding [1] to r...
