This approach adopts the model of the United States PharmacopeiaDrug Information (USP-DI). The representation of each food portion size composed of three parts: frame, the connotation of dietary portion sizes and layout. To investigate users’ comprehension based on this approach, ...

Kleinberg’s Hypertext-Induced Topic Selection (HITS) algorithm is a popular and effective algorithm to rank web pages. One of its problems is the topic drift problem. Previous researches have tried to solve this problem using anchor-related text. In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of using Semantic Text Portion for improving the HITS algorithm. In detail, we examine the degree to w...

The conserved portion in bacterial ribosomal RNA was studied by the DNA-RNA hybridization method. The hybridization percentages were as follows: Bacillus subtilis DNA and B. subtilis 23S rRNA, 0.16; Escherichia coli DNA and E. coli 23S rRNA, 0.15; B. subtilis DNA and E. coli 23S rRNA, 0.03; E. coli DNA and B. subtilis 23S rRNA, 0.04. The RNA's extracted from the heterologous hybrids could be re...
