This elementary volume of bacterial physiology should serve as a stimulating introduction to the subject. The text reads smoothly and is written in such a manner as to excite the imagination of the uninitiated reader. Coverage of the subject matter is comprehensive except for the absence of a section on feedback control mechanisms. For the most part the text has been brought up to date, and eno...

We introduce a model of avian influenza in domestic birds with imperfect vaccination and age-since-vaccination structure. The model has four components: susceptible birds, vaccinated birds (stratified by vaccination age), asymptomatically infected birds, and infected birds. The model includes reduction in the probability of infection, decreasing severity of disease of vaccinated birds and vacci...

Problem statement: This study proposed multimodal integration method at the concept level to investigate information from multimodalities. The multimodal data was represented as two separate lists of concepts which were extracted from images and its related text. The concepts extracted from image analysis are often ambiguous, while the concepts extracted from text processing could be sense-ambi...

Universal schema builds a knowledge base (KB) of entities and relations by jointly embedding all relation types from input KBs as well as textual patterns observed in raw text. In most previous applications of universal schema, each textual pattern is represented as a single embedding, preventing generalization to unseen patterns. Recent work employs a neural network to capture patterns’ compos...

OBJECTIVE Natural language processing (NLP) approaches have been explored to manage and mine information recorded in biological literature. A critical step for biological literature mining is biological named entity tagging (BNET) that identifies names mentioned in text and normalizes them with entries in biological databases. The aim of this study was to provide quantitative assessment of the ...

At the year end of 2011 Belgium formed a government, after a world record breaking period of 541 days of negotiations. We have gathered and analysed 68,000 related on-line news articles published in 2011 in Flemish newspapers. These articles were analysed by a custom-built expert system. The results of our text mining analyses show interesting differences in media coverage and votes for several...

Document enrichment is the task of retrieving additional knowledge from external resource over what is available through source document. This task is essential because of the phenomenon that text is generally replete with gaps and ellipses since authors assume a certain amount of background knowledge. The recovery of these gaps is intuitively useful for better understanding of document. Conven...

The deposition and adhesion of particles on a solid surface are governed by a great number of interplaying forces. In this paper we analyze, by means of computer simulations, the influence of (i) the short-range repulsive forces, modeled by hard sphere interactions, (ii) the gravitational forces, and (iii) the diffusion process of the particles in the fluid on the structure of the surface cover...
