We describe an approach to extract attribute-value pairs from product descriptions in order to augment product databases by representing each product as a set of attribute-value pairs. Such a representation is useful for a variety of tasks where treating a product as a set of attribute-value pairs is more useful than as an atomic entity. We formulate the extraction task as a classification prob...

Alginate and β-cyclodextrin were used to produce easily dosable and spray-dried microsystems of a dried blood orange extract with antidysmetabolic properties, obtained from a by-product fluid extract. The spray-dried applied conditions were able to obtain a concentrate dried extract without the loss of AOA and with TPC and TMA values of 35-40% higher than that of the starting material. They wer...

Software product lines are a widely accepted strategy to develop software products with variable features. Deriving a product line from existing customised product copies is still an open issue. Existing approaches try to extract encapsulated reusable components, or analyse features on a product management level. However, support for understanding implementation differences and designing variat...

The article reflects the possibilities of using descriptor-profile method in modeling recipes functional food products taking into account consumer preferences. Preserved foods sprouted bare-grained oats or wheat and barley-malt extract served as samples for research. simulation preferences preserved product was carried out a tasting analysis. There were thirty-two features descriptors identifi...

background: garlic (allium sativum) is known for its anti-bacterial properties, but information on its effects against bacteria species that are important in fish diseases is scarce. objectives: the aim of this research was to use garlic as a natural product to improve the aquatic animal health status so as to compensate the demand for environment-friendly products for sustainable aquaculture. ...

INTRODUCTION Cisplatin is one of the main chemotherapeutic agents used for the treatment of many types of cancer. However, ototoxicity, one of the most serious side effects of cisplatin, restricts its usage. OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate the protective effects of whortleberry extract against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity by evaluating hearing and histopathological cochlear damage and by m...

The extracts of Piper sarmentosum, a medicinal plant, are being used to prepare phytopharmaceuticals while the information about chemical kinetics of constituents of the extract is unavailable to assign precise shelf life (t90) and find optimum storage conditions of the product for patient safety, and to avoid economic repercussions of launching an unstable product. The extract was exposed to t...

Comparison shopping portals integrate product o ers from large numbers of e-shops in order to support consumers in their buying decisions. Product o ers often consist of a title and a free-text product description, both describing product attributes that are considered relevant by the speci c vendor. In addition, product o ers might contain structured or semi-structured product speci cations in...

Hepatoprotective efficacy of propolis extract (honeybee hive product, 200 mg/kg, p.o.) was studied against carbon-tetrachloride-(CCl 4, 0.15 ml/kg, i.p.) induced biochemical and histopathological changes. Silymarin, a known hepatoprotective drug was used as a positive control. Subchronic exposure to CCl 4 for 3 weeks (5 days a week) caused sharp elevation in the activity of liver enzymes i.e...

Aspect-based opinion mining has attracted lots of attention today. In this paper, we address the problem of product aspect rating prediction, where we would like to extract the product aspects, and predict aspect ratings simultaneously. Topic models have been widely adapted to jointly model aspects and sentiments, but existing models may not do the prediction task well due to their weakness in ...
