In this article, we report on our work on applying hierarchical agglomerative clustering (HAC) to a large corpus of documents where each appears both in Bulgarian and English. We cluster these documents for each language and compare the results both with respect to the shape of the tree and content of clusters produced. Clustering multilingual corpora provides us with an insight into the differ...

Recall that one of the most commonly used reductions is the L-reduction, introduced by Papadim­ itriou and Yannakakis in [?]. This reduction consists of a pair of polynomial mappings (f(.), g(.)) where f maps an instance x of the problem A we are reducing from to an instance x/ of the problem B we are reducing to, and g maps a feasible solution y/ (of x/ i.e. instance of B) to a feasible soluti...

PURPOSE Opioid treatment effectiveness may be best compared using definitions of treatment response, which combine measures assessing pain reduction and the occurrence of adverse events (AEs). This analysis of data from two phase III clinical trials was conducted to examine the pain relief and tolerability (PRT) balance of immediate release (IR) tapentadol and oxycodone in patients with moderat...

compound (n,n-bis (salicylidene) 1,2-diaminophenylene) was prepared by condensation of ethanolsolution of 2-hydroxybanzaldehyde and 1,2-diaminophenylene. the compound was characterized by1h nmr, infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir) data and analytical data. the geometrical parameters andenergies have been obtained from density functional theory (dft) b3lyp method and hartree-fock (hf) method with 3-21...

Ectoenzyme nucleotide pyrophosphate phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) gene has been studied in relation to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and insulin resistance (IR). We hypothesized that the difference in genotype may be one of the factors that affect the outcome of intervention. We genotyped 448 men with fasting glucose≥5.6 mM/L, including 371 in subjects with K allele (KK) (69 control group [CG];...

MLF is a type system that seamlessly merges ML-style implicit but second-class polymorphism with System-F explicit first-class polymorphism. We present xMLF, a Church-style version of MLF with full type information that can easily be maintained during reduction. All parameters of functions are explicitly typed and both type abstraction and type instantiation are explicit. However, type instanti...

OBJECTIVE Statins are widely used lipid-lowering drugs, which have pleiotropic effects, such as anti-inflammation, and vascular protection. In our study, we investigated the radioprotective potential of simvastatin (SIM) in a murine model of radiation-induced salivary gland dysfunction. DESIGN Ninety-six Institute of Cancer Research mice were randomly divided into four groups: solvent + sham ...

[Ir(6)(μ-alloCl(2)(2-))(3)(Cp*)(6)(OH)(3)](PF(6))(3) (1) having 7,8-dichloroalloxazine dianion (alloCl(2)(2-)) as bridging ligands was synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography, spectroscopic and electrochemical measurements. The alloxazine ligands showed unprecedented coordination modes to link the six Ir(III) centres. The complex exhibited remarkable stability and reversible six-...

Search by boolean queries suffers from a paradox of precision: if the query is too general (with respect to the corpus), the response is an avalanche; if the query is too specific, the response is empty. It is difficult to cast a query balanced on this scale of specificity that retrieves a reasonable number of items. Nowhere is this more evident, perhaps, than in search on the World Wide Web. F...

Introduction: Fe-Ni metal and sulfides are common accessory minerals in eucrites and diogenites. We have invesigated the occurrence, mineralogy and composition of these phases in 4 eucrites (EET-92023, Petersburg, Stannern, Camel Donga, hereafter CD) and in two diogenites (Johnstown and Tatahouine). In addition to conventional techniques (SEM, EMP), LA-ICP-MS was used to specifically measure th...
