Recognizing TimeML events and identifying their attributes, are important tasks in natural language processing (NLP). Several NLP applications like question answering, information retrieval, summarization, and temporal information extraction need to have some knowledge about events of the input documents. Existing methods developed for this task are restricted to limited number of languages, an...

The extracytoplasmic function (ECF) σ factors are fundamental for bacterial adaptation to distinct environments and for survival under different stress conditions. The emerging pathogen Arcobacter butzleri possesses seven putative pairs of σ/anti-σ factors belonging to the ECF family. Here, we report the identification of the genes regulated by five out of the seven A. butzleri ECF σ factors. T...

In this study, Four Wave Mixing (FWM) characteristics in photonic crystal fibers are investigated. The effect of channel spacing, phase mismatching, and fiber length on FWM efficiency have been studied. The variation of idler frequency which obtained by this technique with pumping and signal wavelengths has been discussed. The effect of fiber dispersion has been taken into account; we obtain th...

The ability to detect conception and/or conception failure in cattle would be beneficial to producers in formulating reproductive management plans. A new diagnostic test, the early conception factor (ECF) test, has been developed forthis application yetthe accuracy of this test has not been adequately determined. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of the ECF test fo...

BACKGROUND In hemodialysis patients, fluid overload and malnutrition are accompanied by extracellular fluid (ECF) expansion and intracellular fluid (ICF) depletion, respectively. We investigated the relationship between ECF/ICF ratio (as an integrated marker reflecting both fluid overload and malnutrition) and survival and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the context of malnutrition-inflammation...

We are proposing a liquid rate gyro named “ECF micro rate gyro”. Although the sensing principle is based on that of a conventional gas rate sensor, the liquid micro rate gyro works by an electro-conjugate fluid (ECF) instead of a gas. The electro-conjugate fluid is a dielectric fluid that works as a functional fluid, generating a powerful jet flow (ECF jet) when subjected to a high DC voltage. ...

A DNA microarray was used to identify genes transcribed in Neisseria gonorrhoeae using Ecf, an alternative sigma factor. No differences between the transcriptional profiles of strain FA1090 and a mutant where ecf had been inactivated could be detected when both were grown in vitro. We therefore constructed a gonococcal strain in which Ecf can be overexpressed. Some differentially expressed gene...
