BACKGROUND Automation of the parts of systematic review process, specifically the data extraction step, may be an important strategy to reduce the time necessary to complete a systematic review. However, the state of the science of automatically extracting data elements from full texts has not been well described. This paper performs a systematic review of published and unpublished methods to a...

This paper focuses on the influence of RAP-extracted binder and rejuvenator contents steady shear viscosity obtained as a linear viscoelastic property different blends. One pure fresh 50/70 binder, vegetal origin were mixed in dosages. Steady (?0) values at temperatures (from 25 °C to 85 °C) determined from complex modulus results for all tested binders. In addition, ?0(T) blends estimated base...

Molecular characterization of morphologic change requires exquisite tissue morphology and RNA preservation; however, traditional fixatives usually result in fragmented RNA. To optimize molecular analyses on fixed tissues, we assessed morphologic and RNA integrity in rat liver when sections were fixed in 70% neutral-buffered formalin, modified Davidson's II, 70% ethanol, UMFIX, modified Carnoy's...

An LC-MS/MS method for analysis of cereulide, an emetic toxin produced by Bacillus cereus, was developed. Cereulide was extracted from samples, fried rice, pan-fried noodles, red bean paste and baby formula, with methanol and purified using Oasis HLB cartridges. LC separation was performed on a C18 column with a mixture of formic acid solution and methanol containing ammonium formate as a mobil...

Event causality knowledge is indispensable for intelligent natural language understanding. The problem is that any method for extracting event causalities from text is insufficient; it is likely that some event causalities that we can recognize in this world are not written in a corpus, no matter its size. We propose a method of hypothesizing unseen event causalities from known event causalitie...

Xylan can be extracted from biomass using either alkali (KOH or NaOH) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); however, DMSO extraction is the only method that produces a water-soluble xylan. In this study, DMSO extraction of corn stover was studied at different temperatures with the objective of finding a faster, more efficient extraction method. The temperature and time of extraction were compared follo...

Extraction of the 70 GeV protons has been realized with the aid of the internal targets installed before the septum-magnets of the slow extraction system. Having undergone elastic scattering in the target and a following deflection into the first septum-magnet aperture, protons are extracted from the accelerator. The targets of W and Cu were used. As distinct from the regime of simultaneous ext...
