چکیده

It is believed by the scientific community that PL1 and PL2 are the largest concept languages for which there exists a polynomial algorithm that solves the subsumption problem. This is due to Donini, Lenzerini, Nardi, and Nutt, who have presented two tractable algorithms that are intended to solve the subsumption problem in those languages. In contrast, this paper proves that the algorithm for checking subsumption of concepts expressed in the language PL2 is not complete. As a direct consequence, it still remains an open problem to which computational complexity class this subsumption problem belongs.

Tractable Concept Languages

Abst rac t We present two concept languages,, called PL1 and PL2 which are extensions of TC. We prove that the subsumption problem in these languages can be solved in polynomial time. Both languages include a construct for expressing inverse roles, which has not been considered up to now in tractable languages. In addition, PL1 includes number restrictions and negation of primitive concepts, wh...

Extent of visceral pleural invasion and the prognosis of surgically resected node‐negative non‐small cell lung cancer

BACKGROUND Visceral pleural invasion (VPI) is generally considered a poor prognostic factor in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). VPI is defined as penetration beyond the elastic layer of visceral pleura (PL1), including the visceral pleural surface without the involvement of adjacent structures (PL2) by cancer cells. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the extent of VPI on ...

The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus nsp2 cysteine protease domain possesses both trans- and cis-cleavage activities.

The N terminus of the replicase nonstructural protein 2 (nsp2) of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) contains a putative cysteine protease domain (PL2). Previously, we demonstrated that deletion of either the PL2 core domain (amino acids [aa] 47 to 180) or the immediate downstream region (aa 181 to 323) is lethal to the virus. In this study, the PL2 domain was found to ...

Quinidine-digoxin interaction: cardiac efficacy of elevated serum digoxin concentration.

Cardioactivity due to elevated serum digoxin concentration (SDC) after quinidine (Q) and digoxin (D) was evaluated in six healthy subjects by means of measurement of systolic time intervals (STIs). Each subject randomly received basic treatments with 0.2 mg D and placebo (PL1). Randomized coadministrations with Q (1 gm/day), sparteine (SP) (0.8 gm/day), and placebo (PL2) were given for 7-day pe...
