Conceptual Graphs (CGs) are a natural and intuitive notation for expressing rst-order logic statements. However, the task of performing inference with a large-scale CG knowledge base remains largely unexplored. Although basic inference operators are deened for CGs, few methods are available for guiding their application during automated reasoning. Given the expressive power of CGs, this can res...

HER2-targeted therapy is considered effective for KRAS codon 12/13 wild-type, HER2-positive metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). In general, HER2 status is determined by the use of immunohistochemistry (IHC) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Comprehensive genomic sequencing (CGS) enables the detection of gene mutations and copy number alterations including KRAS mutation and HER2 amp...

Evaluation of clinical genetics services (CGS), including genetic counseling and genetic testing, has been problematic. Patient mortality and morbidity are unlikely to be directly improved by interventions offered in CGS. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are not routinely measured in CGS evaluation, but this may change as patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) become a key part of how health...

Many of Helicobacter species have been found to have novel cholesteryl glucosides (CGs). To study the biosynthetic mechanism of CGs, the lipid profiles of H. pylori and H. mustelae grown in serum-supplemented and cholesterol-restricted serum-free media were investigated. In contrast to the serum-supplemented state, helicobacters had less CGs in the serum-free state; a trace amount of CGs and no...

While the literature emphasizes the ‘global spread’ of gated communities, the physical form of gating exists in the history for a long time. The gate and walls can at least date back to the walled city when the city was used for military defence. Even in the socialist period when egalitarianism was the predominant ideology, enclosed workunit compounds were widely built. However, gating was not ...

1.1 Equivalent circuit of a pixel in LCDs The equivalent circuit of a pixel operated by active matrix driving is shown in Fig. 1. Data lines are connected to a data driver for generating the signal pulses for the picture data. Scan lines are connected to a scan driver for generating the scan pulses which enable the addressing driving. Vsig and Vg are applied to the data lines and scan lines, re...

Characteristics of high-efficiency gas turbine cogeneration systems using low Btu gas (LBG) are first analysed. Raising the turbine inlet temperature and incorporating a regenerator are both investigated as methouds to improve the efficiency of the cogeneration system (CGS). Taking a gas obtained by pyrolyzing municipal refuse as an example of an LBG, various thermodynamic characteristics of th...

In this study, we focus on the analysis of a previously identified cancer-related gene signature (CGS) that underlies the cross talk between the p53 tumor suppressor and Ras oncogene. CGS consists of a large number of known Ras downstream target genes that were synergistically upregulated by wild-type p53 loss and oncogenic H-Ras(G12V) expression. Here we show that CGS expression strongly corre...
