As the XML functional dependency and multi-valued dependency impact on the normalization design of semi-structured data, definitions of XML functional dependency, XML multi-valued dependency, path dependency base and the minimal dependency set are given in this paper. Algorithms for minimal dependency set and membership with path expression based on the coexistence of XFD and XMVD are then prop...

Background: Smoking is one of the most common causes of mortality in the world. Emotional intelligence is the adapting ability to respond to the environment and people appropriately. It plays an important role in various aspects of life such as facing stressful situations and consequently, smoking. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between nicotine dependency and emotional intell...

The dependency relation is the most essential ingredient in a dependency-based theory of syntax. This paper presents some statistical findings on the dependency relation extracted from a Chinese dependency treebank. A sentence in the proposed treebank can easily be converted into a SSyntS graph in Meaning-Text Theory. The statistics on the dependency relation show that modifiers make up 55% of ...

objective(s): smoking opium/cigarette is a global health concern. the aim of this study was to examine learning and memory of rat male offsprings whose mothers had been exposed to either opium or morphine with nicotine during pregnancy. materials and methods: wistar rats were used for the experiments. in the female rats, opium, morphine and nicotine dependencies were induced by daily injections...

the absorption properties of charge transfer organic semiconductor ttf-tcnq (tetrathiafulvalene-tetracyanoquhodimete ) filmsdeposited on kbr singlecrystal, quartz and glass substrates in far infrared have been investigated. an absorption edge at ?10 ??m was observed. photoconductivity, photoconduction efficiency and gain and photocarrier's lifetime have been measured. the results show an e...

abstract consensus in the international community has grown over the past two years that hiv/aids poses a threat to development, security, and economic growth. a few studies over the last ten years have looked at the impact on workers and their employers. with momentum building to prevent new infections and treat those already afflicted, more information is needed to assess economic impacts and...

Abstract[1] Natural resources as a source of wealth can increase prosperity or impede economic growth.  Empirical studies with different specifications and data are also mixed on whether natural resources are curse or blessing. In fact, the variety of model specifications, measurements, and samples in the empirical literature makes it difficult to generalize the results. In this study, a growth...
