SILK is an expressive Semantic Web rule language and system equipped with scalable reactive higher-order defaults. We present two of its latest novel features. Omni rules are prioritized defeasible clauses that provide a higher-level expressive abstraction for users by making rules omni-directional. They handle multi-way conflicts. And they are soundly interoperable with FOL and W3C OWL as well...

The 1 basic notion that will be studied in this work is than of an identity. It arises naturally in a Ramsey theory setting when considering the coloring patters on finite sets that occur when coloring infinite complete graphs with infinitely many colors. We first give some definitions and establish some notation. An ω-coloring is a pair 〈f, B〉 where f : [B] −→ ω. The set B is the field of f an...

Abstract Background and Aims Genetic causes of chronic kidney disease are becoming more recognized. Familial lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency (FLD) is a rare genetic disorder caused by loss function mutations in LCAT gene. Patients present with abnormal lipid profile characterized markedly reduced HDL-C, corneal opacification, anemia, renal disease, which eventually progr...

A liquid chromatographic method for the determination of ochratoxin A in grapes, dried vine fruits, and winery byproducts was developed. A mixture of either acetonitrile/water or acetonitrile/water/methanol was used as an extraction solvent mixture. After immunoaffinity column cleanup, the final extract was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a fluorometric detector (...

Microarray gene expression technology provides a systematic approach to patient classification. However, microarray data pose a great computational challenge owing to their large dimensionality, small sample sizes, and potential correlations among genes. A recent study has shown that gene-gene correlations have a positive effect on the accuracy of classification models, in contrast to some prev...

Amikacin sulphate is devoid of any chromophore and/or conjugated system prerequisite for UV and florescent light detection (FLD). Hence, there is a need of simple and reliable methods for introducing chromophore in the structure of amikacin sulphate for its determination using UV and FLD. Therefore, the present study describes the development and validation of a simple, economical and fast colo...
