Lasie Jumps the Gate

The beneets of the eeective creation of Information Extraction (IE) in the last ten years, driven by the ARPA TIPSTER programme and the associated MUC evaluations, have been enormous, but it must now be time to ask what research issues face the systems we have built and what we should do next. We suggest that there are two classes of important research issues: those requiring detailed comparati...

The Maturely, Immature Orientale Impact Basin

Introduction: The Moon is consistently bombarded by large and small projectiles that weather its surface. This includes micrometeorites, cosmic and solar rays, and solar wind implantation and sputtering in a process known as space weathering. Based on data from the Clementine spacecraft, several studies [2, 4, 5] have shown that the degree of this process imparted upon the lunar surface can be ...

Formation of the Orientale lunar multiring basin.

Multiring basins, large impact craters characterized by multiple concentric topographic rings, dominate the stratigraphy, tectonics, and crustal structure of the Moon. Using a hydrocode, we simulated the formation of the Orientale multiring basin, producing a subsurface structure consistent with high-resolution gravity data from the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) spacecraft. T...

New Phenolics from Linum mucronatum subsp. orientale

INTRODUCTION Lignans and flavonoids are widely distributed phenolics in the plant kingdom. Aryltetralin type lignans (podophyllotoxin derivatives) as the major secondary metabolites of Linum species play an important role in the production of chemotherapy drugs. In the present study, lignans and flavonoid glycosides from aerial parts of Linum mucronatum subsp. orientale were isolated and identi...
