UNLABELLED Prokaryotic protein-protein interactions are underrepresented in currently available databases. Here, we describe a 'gold standard' dataset (MPI-LIT) focusing on microbial binary protein-protein interactions and associated experimental evidence that we have manually curated from 813 abstracts and full texts that were selected from an initial set of 36 852 abstracts. The MPI-LIT datas...

In Trec-2002, we participated in the Web Trec (named page finding task). There are two kinds of information that can be used while finding the expected page, content information and link information. We exploited both of them. That is to say, our system is content-based and link-based. As to link information, we only used anchor text and connections, and topology between pages is ignored. We su...

considering the point that the existence of heavy metals in the wastewater are so dangerous forthe environment and it would have many bad consequences for all the creatures including human beings, wemust try out the ways that make us capable of adsorbing these heavy metals. in order to accomplish this goal we should use a method called adsorbing. in this study the adsorption of copper ions in h...

Laboratory test was carried out on larvae and adults of the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, to determine fipronil toxicity. Adult immersion test (AIT, N=26), larval immersion test (LIT, N=71) and larval packet test (LPT, N=41) were standardized using susceptible strain (Mozo). Dose-response curves were compared with a fipronil resistant strain. Four variables were analyzed fro...

Renewable energy research is currently a major challenge. In recent years, the worldwide production of crystalline silicon solar cells has increased by approximately 30%.[1] New concepts for solar cells and new silicon feedstock are generated in the labs and on the solar cell market. Hence, the need for quality control and failure analysis of solar cells in research and industry has increased r...

In this paper we describe the Insight Centre for Data Analytics participation in the LIT sub-task of the Lifelog task at NTCIR-12. We present the interactive lifelog visualisation tool that we developed specifically for this task, which allowed us to interrogate the dataset to create insights for six LIT topics.

domain of experience (e.g. hayat tadını görmek “to taste/experience life”, (lit. “to see the taste of life”). Turkish verbs do not extend their meanings to all abstract domains Croatian prefixed verbs do: they do not share meanings with Croatian verbs pokušati “to try; to attempt”, okušati se, okušati se u, okušati se kao “to try (out) (as)”, nor can they be related to the abstract domain of te...

BACKGROUND Dietary quercetin improves cardiovascular health, relaxes some vascular smooth muscle and has been demonstrated to serve as a substrate for the cyclooxygenase enzyme. AIMS 1. To test quantitatively a potential direct vasodilatory effect on intramural coronary resistance artery segments, in different concentrations. 2. To scale vasorelaxation at different intraluminal pressure loads...

Sea-salt aerosol (SSA) particles are ubiquitous in the marine boundary layer and over coastal areas. Therefore SSA have ability to directly and indirectly affect the Earth’s radiation balance. The influence SSA have on climate is related to their water uptake and ice nucleation characteristics. In this study, optical microscopy coupled with Raman spectroscopy was used to detect the formation of...
