purpose: to evaluate the effectiveness of corneal collagen cross-linking with uv-a and riboflavin (cxl) for treatment of refractory herpes simplex virus necrotizing keratitis. case reports: two patients with a diagnosis of hsv necrotizing stromal keratitis referred to khalili hospital eye emergency room and who were resistant to conventional treatment underwent cxl. response to treatment was ev...

background chitosan is a naturally occurring biopolymer which has been widely used in a variety of biomedical applications including local antibiotic delivery due to its excellent mechanical properties, biodegradability and biocompatibility. beads are spherical, porous carriers which are prepared from various materials including chitosan. objectives the current study aimed to fabricate a new co...

Linking structure is a new concept characterizing topological semimetals, which indicates the interweaving of gap-closing nodes at Fermi energy ($E_F$) with other below $E_F$. As number linked can be changed only via pair-creation or pair-annihilation, node more stable and robust than ordinary without linking. Here we propose type nodal between line (nodal surface) $E_F$ another in two-dimensio...

One challenge of the EU energy transition is integration renewable electricity generation in distribution system. law proposes a possible solution by introducing “citizen communities” (Directive 2019/944/EU) which may be open for “cross-border participation”. This article an innovative way implementing such cross-border communities linking systems via “switchable element”, generation, storage, ...

We describe an efficient way to create a test collection for evaluating the accuracy of cross-language entity linking. Queries are created by semiautomatically identifying person names on the English side of a parallel corpus, using judgments obtained through crowdsourcing to identify the entity corresponding to the name, and projecting the English name onto the non-English document using word ...

Independently owned nature reserves are proliferating across the developing world. Nevertheless, the conservation community knows practically nothing about them. This paper examines the economic, ecological, and social impacts of ecotourism, as evidenced at thirty-two of these reserves. Ecotourism is shown to be the primary means through which reserves survive financially. This reliance provide...

This paper describes our participation in the English Entity Linking task at KBP 2012.

Now welcome, the most inspiring book today from a very professional writer in the world, newspapers of record in a digital age from hot type to hot link. This is the book that many people in the world waiting for to publish. After the announced of this book, the book lovers are really curious to see how this book is actually. Are you one of them? That's very proper. You may not be regret now to...

In this day and age, people not only deal with data but deal with vast amounts of data which needs to be sorted and made sense of. A subset of these people are intelligence analysts who sort through an enormous amount of data that need to be organized to uncover plots and subplots. We are proposing a tool called BABES (Brushing+Linking, Attributes, and Blobs Extension to Storyboard) that will e...

We address the task of entity linking to multiple knowledge bases (KB). In particular, we investigate the use of over one thousand domain-specific KBs derived from Wikia.com collections in conjunction with the Wikipedia collection as a background-knowledge repository. Our system employs a two-step approach: for each document, a supervised model with a large set of features detects whether there...
