The conceptual knowledge framework OML/CKML needs several components for a successful design (Kent, 1999). One important, but previously overlooked, component is the central core of OML/CKML. The central core provides a theoretical link between the ontological specification in OML and the conceptual knowledge representation in CKML. This paper discusses the formal semantics and syntactic styles...

Editor—We report a case of a 19-yr-old primigravida who was referred to our tertiary obstetric unit at 37 weeks gestation. She was known to have skeletal muscle weakness since birth and had a history of delayed motor milestones as a child. Myopathy of an unknown aetiology had been suspected since early childhood. Additionally, after sudden cardiac deaths of the patient’s father and brother, con...

The flow behavior inside the shrouded disk system is of importance in appropriate design of turbomachinery cavities and turbine test cell hydraulics dynamometer. The turbulent incompressible flow is analyzed for the shrouded disk system with axial clearance. The flow core behaves as a Batchelor type structure when a weak inflow is imposed on the disk cavity. By increasing the inflow, the centra...

Dendrimers are highly branched organic macromolecules with successive layers or generations of branch units surrounding a central core [1,4]. These are key molecules in nanotechnology and can be put to good use. In this article, we compute the first geometricarithmetic index of two infinite classes of dendrimers.

the relationship between moscow and the peripheral republics of the soviet :union: has been a controversial issue. the complicatedness and implications of this relationship was to a degree recognized during the soviet era. yet it was after the collapse of the communist regime that its real scope and significance were revealed, especially in central asian and caucasian republics where a variety ...

Background & Aims: Balance is one of the most essential elements of physical activities and an important factor in sport skills. Vision plays a paramount role in the processing and integrating other sensory inputs for controlling balance and selecting equilibrium strategy. The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of an eight-week core stability training program on balance in blind...

Extreme variations of Earth's magnetic field occurred in the Levant region around 1000 BC, when the field intensity rapidly rose and fell by a factor of 2. No coherent link currently exists between this intensity spike and the global field produced by the core geodynamo. Here we show that the Levantine spike must span >60° longitude at Earth's surface if it originates from the core-mantle bound...

Heterogeneous multi-core processors are at tracted by the media processing applications due to their capability ofdrawing strengths ofdifferent cores to improve the overall performance. However, the data transfer bottle necks and limitations in the task allocation have preventedus from gainingfull potential of the heterogeneous multi-core processors. This paper presents a task allocation method...
