Meaningful Models for Information Access Systems

Study of semantics has the general goal of modeling human linguistic competence as a theory, probing the constraints and limitations of language as a system of expression and representation, and of providing language engineering applications with a model of meaning, appropriate to its tasks. In general, there is no need to design a semantic model intended for practical processing to be neurolog...

Meaningful access: policy, management and orchestration

Access management for learning communities requires a unified theory, sustaining the implementation of instructional policies, for ‘social networks’. The management method we have reached is based on the integration of content-rich resources in ‘operations’ that model/control the access of those seeking to learn something by using them, with or without assistance. Activities may be sequenced em...

A Knowledge Comparison Environment for Supporting Meaningful Learning of E-Book Users

In this paper, we present an ontology-based visualization support system which can provide a meaningful learning environment to help e-book learners to effectively construct their knowledge frameworks. In this personalized visualization support system, learners are encouraged to actively locate new knowledge in their own knowledge framework and check the logical consistency of their ideas for c...

Book of Abstracts: CIHR Symposium on Novel Cancer Therapies and Innovations in Treatment Monitoring

Introduction: Apoptosis is a form of cancer cell death that is triggered by a number of cancer therapies. Many complex pathways that initiate the apoptotic signal in response to therapy were previously investigated. However, the mechanisms that underlie such signal in microbubbles-based therapy were not yet elucidated. Materials and Methods: Here we used a number of in vitro and in vivo approac...
