Statistical Relational Learning (SRL) combines the benefits of probabilistic machine learning approaches with complex, structured domains from Inductive Logic Programming (ILP). We propose a new SRL algorithm, GleanerSRL, to generate probabilities for highly-skewed relational domains. In this work, we combine clauses from Gleaner, an ILP algorithm for learning a wide variety of first-order clau...

A conceptual framework for assessing student motivation and self-regulated learning in the college classroom is presented. The framework is based on a self-regulatory (SRL) perspective on student motivation and learning in contrast to a student approaches to learning (SAL) perspective. The differences between SRL and SAL approaches are discussed, as are the implications of the SRL conceptual fr...

Endurance exercise is an inexpensive intervention that is thought to provide substantial protection against several age-related pathologies, as well as inducing acute changes to endurance capacity and metabolism. Recently, it has been established that endurance exercise induces conserved alterations in physiological capacity in the invertebrate Drosophila model. If the genetic factors underlyin...

Lectins are non-enzymic carbohydrate binding proteins present in plants, bacteria, fungi, and animals, which preferentially bind reversibly to specific carbohydrate structures whether free in solution or on cell surfaces and play important role in cell recognition. Sclerotium rolfsii, a soil borne plant pathogenic fungus capable of forming fruiting bodies referred to as sclerotial bodies, secre...

We present analyses showing that HMEANT is a reliable, accurate and fine-grained semantic frame based human MT evaluation metric with high inter-annotator agreement (IAA) and correlation with human adequacy judgments, despite only requiring a minimal training of about 15 minutes for lay annotators. Previous work shows that the IAA on the semantic role labeling (SRL) subtask within HMEANT is ove...

BACKGROUND: Long term treatment with immunosuppressive agents results in nephrotoxicity in renal transplant recipients. We explored the effect of combination of Tacrolimus (TAC) and Sirolimus (SRL) on the immune system in renal transplant recipients. METHODS: 10 stable renal transplant recipients were selected to participate in a pharmacokinetic study with a combination of TAC and SRL. Blood wa...

This prospective pharmacoepidemiological study examined treatment and outcomes in patients converted to sirolimus (SRL) after renal transplantation. 484 subjects in 36 centres in 7 countries were followed for up to 5 years. Principal reasons for conversion were declining graft function (146/484, 30%) and side effects of prior therapy (144/484, 30%) and the major treatment combinations after con...

PURPOSE To examine the upper body strength, speed, power, and strength-endurance of rugby-league players of different ranks. These data could provide information pertinent to the importance of these factors for different grades of rugby league and for positional groups in those different grades. METHODS Sixty rugby-league players, 20 participants each in the elite, national first-division lea...

Researchers and educators continue to explore how to assist students in the acquisition of conceptual understanding of complex science topics. While hypermedia learning environments (HLEs) afford unique opportunities to display multiple representations of these often abstract topics, students who do not engage in self-regulated learning (SRL) with HLEs often fail to achieve conceptual understan...

Self-regulated Learning (SRL) skills have been argued to be among the most important determinants of academic achievement. It has observed that some cultural groups consistently exhibit higher achievement and variation in SRL also observed. Understanding this could provide insight into how promote development all children.This research examined components are influenced by variables, testing mo...
