3 Using DB for improving DLMS { Large ABox management. The usual DLMS lack eeciency in managing large amounts of data in the ABox. Our experience Bresciani,1992] suggests that, in realistic applications, knowledge bases not only can be complex, but can also involve a large number of individuals, diicult to manage { when not impossible { with the existing DLMS ABoxes. A large portion of data abo...

The presence of morphine alkaloids, anti-microbial and anti-cancer metabolite, sanguinarine, in different species of Papaver genus has made it one of the most valuable plants in the pharmaceutical industry.With regard to the influence of drought and salinity on the increase of secondary metabolites, the present study attempted to investigate the effect of the mentioned stresses on the key genes...

In this paper, the authors investigate the problem of doing Description Logic (DL) reasoning with partially closed world. They address this issue by extending the syntax of DL SROIQ with an NBox, which specifies the predicates to close, extending the semantics with the idea of Negation As Failure, reducing the closed world reasoning to incremental reasoning on classical DL ontologies and applyi...

Ontology and other logical languages are built around the idea that axioms enable the inference of new facts about the available data. In some circumstances, however, the data is meant to be complete in certain ways, and deducing new facts may be undesirable. Previous approaches to this issue have relied on syntactically specifying certain axioms as constraints or adding in new constructs for c...

The Description Logic (DL)-based ontologies impose the Open World Assumption (OWA), while many other knowledge formalisms, such as the Logic Program, relational database, etc. impose the ClosedWorld Assumption (CWA). In order to interoperate knowledge bases and systems with these different representations, as well as to support applications in certain domains with complete knowledge, it is nece...

Abstract The goal of this paper is to develop and test a gamified design thinking framework, including its pedagogical elements, for supporting various learning objectives school students. By synthesizing the elements principles design, games, authors propose framework tool students fulfil number objectives; includes process called “IISC Design Thinking” version DBox”. effectiveness as has been...

The paper describes a project for continuous data collection for a spoken dialogue system engaged in Question-Answering interactions in English. The Wizard-of-Oz method used in the bootstrap phase is presented, and several types of resulting dialogue annotations are described. The resulting corpus will be publicly released.

Circadian rhythm is fundamental in regulating a wide range of cellular, metabolic, physiological, and behavioral activities in mammals. Although a small number of key circadian genes have been identified through extensive molecular and genetic studies in the past, the existence of other key circadian genes and how they drive the genomewide circadian oscillation of gene expression in different t...
