Hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor-1 (HAI-1) is a Kunitz-type serine protease inhibitor that has a broad inhibitory spectrum against serine proteases. This is the first study to investigate the role of HAI-1 and its clinical importance in cervical cancer. We attempted to investigate the inhibitory effects of HAI-1 using cervical carcinoma cell lines SiHa with integrated human papillom...

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is one of the most common hereditary diseases in humans, accounting for almost 5-10% of subjects on renal replacement therapies1. Although clinical symptoms occur most frequently in adult life, the hereditary nature of PKD has permitted the screening of first degree relatives and therefore to reach a diagnosis in early adulthood. That said, early diagnosis per se...

ITRI-03-13 CROCODIAL: Crosslingual Computer-mediated Dialogue

We describe a novel approach to crosslingual dialogue which allows for highly accurate communication of semantically complex content. The approach is introduced through an application in a B2B scenario. We are currently building a browser-based prototype for this scenario. The core technology underlying the approach is natural language generation. We also discuss how the proposed approach can c...

The Hamiltonian H is the generator of the dynamics of physical systems. In this respect, the energy content of a system will determine its evolution time scales. For instance, the time-energy uncertainty relation states that the time it takes for a system to evolve to an orthogonal configuration in the Hilbert space is limited by the inverse of the energy spread of the system. Analogously, the ...
