The Resolution oft-Butyloxycarbonyl-DL-α-phenylsarcosine

OFT—Objectives and Concepts

The research work carried out within the OFT-project shall provide insights, methods, and prototypic software to support the design of hydraulic closed loop control systems. The paper in hand presents an overview of the research work, motivates the current objectives of the project, and provides useful background information. In particular we develop different views of the hydraulic design proc...

Resolution-Based Approximate Reasoning for OWL DL

We propose a new technique for approximate ABox reasoning with OWL DL ontologies. Essentially, we obtain substantially improved reasoning performance by disregarding non-Horn features of OWL DL. Our approach comes as a side-product of recent research results concerning a new transformation of OWL DL ontologies into negation-free disjunctive datalog [1, 2, 3, 4], and rests on the idea of perform...

Oft, Vbp: Qed?

The report by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) on the UK pharmaceutical price regulation scheme (PPRS) recommends the reform of the current scheme, which is a combination of profit and price controls, to one where price is based on the health benefits offered by a pharmaceutical. On closer examination some of the more commonly expressed concerns about these proposals do not seem to be well foun...

Pharmacokinetics of orally administered DL-α-lipoic acid in dogs.

OBJECTIVE To determine the pharmacokinetics of DL-α-lipoic acid in dogs when administered at 3 dosages via 3 methods of delivery. ANIMALS 27 clinically normal Beagles. PROCEDURES In a 3 × 3 factorial Latin square design, 3 dosages (2.5, 12.5, and 25 mg/kg) of DL-α-lipoic acid were administered orally in a capsule form and provided without a meal, in a capsule form and provided with a meal, ...
