The problem of establishing transferable language structures is considered. The key idea is developing a synergistic approach combining semantic grammar rules with the machine learning mechanisms of grammar rules extraction from parallel text corpora. The predesigned rules are founded on the unified cognitive structures extracted from the systems of grammar categories of the Russian and English...

Purpose Classical Chinese herbal therapy uses herb combinations within formulas based upon the belief that there is a synergistic effect between herbs. Herbal pairs and combinations may change the hydrophobicity and ion concentration of the decoction. These changes may increase extraction of constituents from other herbs within the formula. Furthermore, herbs may react within the decoction medi...

We present MuckRaker, a tool that provides news consumers with datasets and visualizations that contextualize facts and figures in the articles they read. MuckRaker takes advantage of data integration techniques to identify matching datasets, and makes use of data and schema extraction algorithms to identify data points of interest in articles. It presents the output of these algorithms to user...

EfSective use ~Jdigital video can be greatly improved by a combination of two technologies: computer vision for automated video analysis and information visualization for data visualization. The unstructured, spatio-temporal nature of video poses tough challenges in the extraction of semantics using fully automated techniques. In the CueVideo project, we combine these automated technologies tog...

Dried unripe raspberries (Rubus chingii), a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, have been used for many years in China. They were prepared as unpurified raspberry extract (URE) by ethanol extraction, and purified (PRE) macroporous resin. Synergistic effects between the URE (or PRE) ampicillin, erythromycin, tetracycline or streptomycin against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus Salmonella ent...

Introduction The goal of this project was to develop a visualization that would simultaneously overlay topics extracted from a newsgroup with social networking information. The motivation of this work is to determine if social networking information can be used as a method to evaluate the quality of topic extraction from a newsgroup. This work is also motivated by the questions: can hierarchica...

Under the optimal ultrasonification extraction conditions of 20.52 kHz for the frequency, 32.59 ◦C for the temperature, and 4.91 h for the process time, 17.98 mg/g of chlorophyll a was obtained. It was much higher than 13.81 mg/g from conventional 70% ethanol extraction and even higher than other data from Spirulina. This yield was close to the predicted value of 18.21 mg/g from the second-orde...

To allow an easy individuation of the more suitable working conditions (temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc.) to be adopted to carry out the extraction of food grade oils from different substrates by supercritical CO2 (Sc-CO2), a simplified kinetic approach has been introduced. This kinetic model was utilised to describe supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of oil by Sc-CO2 not only from seed...

The extraction-separation of alkali, alkaline earth, and rare earth metal ions could be improved by using macrocyclic ligands as ion size selective masking reagents. By adding a macrocyclic ligand to the aqueous phase of a conventional chelate extraction system, the extraction of metal ions with larger ionic radii was shifted to a higher pH region. Consequently, the separation among the metal i...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Little is currently known about the risk of developing bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). This study sought to determine the incidence of BRONJ in osteoporotic patients. We also sought to identify the nature and types of risk factors of osteonecrosis of jaw (ONJ) related to the use of oral bisphosphonates (BPs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Data from the Nat...
