Supporting natural language interface is crucial for accessing knowledge bases (KBs) due to the complexity of their schema. Many natural language interfaces to KBs (NLIKBs) have been built to simplify query formulation and facilitate advanced applications like personal intelligent assistant. Unfortunately, there is a lack of a comprehensive natural language question benchmark that is able to fa...

Let $\mathbb {N}=\{0,1,2,\ldots \}$ and $A\subset \mathbb {N}$. $h\geq 2$ let $r_h(A,n)=\sharp \{ (a_1,\ldots ,a_h) \in A^{h}: a_1+\cdots +a_h=n\}.$ The set $A$ is called an asymptotic basis of order $h$ if $r_h(A,n)\geq 1$ for all sufficiently la

The straightforward identification of impurity signals in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra is imperative for the structure elucidation and signal assignment synthetic products intermediates. To keep pace with emergence novel green solvents auxiliary compounds (e.g., acids bases), NMR tables databases must be regularly updated. This study reports residual 1H 13C chemical shifts 42 solven...

In order to employ the Web as a medium for data and information integration, comprehensive datasets and vocabularies are required as they enable the disambiguation and alignment of other data and information. Many real-life information integration and aggregation tasks are impossible without comprehensive background knowledge related to spatial features of the ways, structures and landscapes su...

For many new medical research questions in heart surgery comprehensive and large data bases are essential. We discuss typical challenges for the integration of real-time and legacy data stored in multiple unconnected hospital information systems (HIS). Furthermore the HIS are often operated by autonomous departments whose data base structures are subject to occasional modifications. We present ...

The transgender inmate population presents unique challenges and opportunities in medical, psychiatric, and correctional systems of care worldwide. We present a review of both case law and efforts within the medical and psychiatric communities to address transgender needs more consistently over the past few decades. In addition, we discuss the standardized implementation of core principles with...

Before surveying the results of the paper, we introduce path algebras. Path algebras play a central role in the representation theory of finite-dimensional algebras (Gabriel, 1980; Auslander et al., 1995; Bardzell, 1997) and the theory of Gröbner bases (Bergman, 1978; Mora, 1986; Farkas et al., 1993) has been an important tool in some results (Feustel et al., 1993; Green and Huang, 1995; Bardze...

This paper presents a new approach, called knowledge-base reduction, to the problem of checking knowledge bases for inconsistency and redundancy. The algorithm presented here makes use of concepts and techniques that have recently been advocated by de Kleer [deKleer, 19861 in conjunction with an assumption-based truth maintenance system. Knowledge-base reduction is more comprehensive than previ...

Non-canonical DNA structures have been postulated to mediate protein-nucleic acid interactions and to function as intermediates in the generation of frame-shift mutations when errors in DNA replication occur, which result in a variety of diseases and cancers. Compounds capable of binding to non-canonical DNA conformations may thus have significant diagnostic and therapeutic potential. Clerocidi...

Given a positive integer M and real number x∈(0,1], we call q∈(1,M+1] univoque simply normal base of x if there exists unique sequence (di)∈{0,1,…,M}N such that x=∑i=1∞diq−i. Similarly, is called irregular x=∑i=1∞diq−i the (di) has no digit frequency. Let USN(x) UIr(x) be sets bases x, respectively. In this paper show for any x∈(0,1] both have full Hausdorff dimension. Furthermore, given finite...
