Recently, a welcome trend has emerged - in addition to the traditional studies on contents and states of consciousness, levels of consciousness have become a matter of research. However, there are some conceptual and methodological difficulties with this research - the labels used for empirical measurement of levels are ambiguous and underspecified while the research on neural correlates of con...

Simulation with integrated parameter optimization of a given model structure is a well-established technique today. However, with increasing system complexity and flexibility the number of possible structure variants increases. Therefore the potential benefit of automatic model structure optimization becomes significant. During optimization, the introduced framework supports automatic parameter...

We often eat heat-coagulated (H-C) food proteins, but there have been few studies on the allergenic activity of H-C proteins after digestion and absorption in vivo. To show that H-C protein is not an allergen after digestion, mice were used to investigate the digestion and absorption of the protein through the intestinal epithelium into portal blood employing immunoblotting and competitive inhi...

In this paper we describe the ongoing work on the Circumstantial Event Ontology (CEO), a newly developed ontology for calamity events that models semantic circumstantial relations between event classes, where we define circumstantial as explicit and implicit causal relations. The circumstantial relations are defined manually in the ontology for classes of events that involve a change to the sam...

LMML is a pioneer standard for the XML based description of eLearning. This talk presents its main features.

In contrast to other approaches, LMML is based on a meta modelling architecture and provides a framework that can be inst...
