The growth of the regeneration blastema of the newt forelimb has been quantitated and analyzed as a function of postamputation age, developmental stage, animal weight, animal length, and cross sectional diameter of the blastemal base in both the anteroposterior and dorsoventral dimensions. Correlation coefficients computed for these variables show that growth of the regenerate in both length an...

Moisture status of different soils under seven mapping units Baraigram Thana has been described. The basis description compiled from Nirdeshika that includes moisture storage capacity in the dry season, availability to plant/crops. Four have categorized. These are greater than 250 mm, 250-150 151-70 mm and less 70 per 100 cm profile respectively, shown on map. It observed season most crops suff...

We present a strategy and the early results of the mapping of plWordNet – one of the largest such language resources in existence – onto Princeton WordNet. The fundamental structural premise of plWordNet differs from those of most other wordnets: lexical units rather than synsets are the basic building blocks. The addition of new material to plWordNet is consistently informed by semantic relati...

Navigating in a three dimensional (3D) virtual environment is difficult mainly because of limited navigational information that can only offer a screen-size visualization and low level imitation of other human senses. To address this problem, studies on various methods of navigation aid have been carried out. The navigation aid described in this paper was designed by applying the topic map tech...

Recent scholarship has questioned whether there remains a meaningful distinction between modern textualism and purposivism. Purposivists traditionally argued that because Congress passes statutes to achieve some aim, federal judges should enforce the spirit rather than the letter of the law when the two conflict. Textualists, in contrast, have emphasized that federal judges have a constitutiona...

As semantic markup becomes ubiquitous, it will become important to be able to ask queries and obtain answers, using natural language (NL) expressions, rather than the keyword-based retrieval mechanisms used by the current search engines. AquaLog is a portable question-answering system which takes queries expressed in natural language and an ontology as input and returns answers drawn from the a...

Business needs in many corporations call for learning outcomes that involve problem solutions, and creating and sharing new knowledge within workplace situations that may involve collaboration among members of a team. We argue that work-based activities (WBA) and computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) are appropriate components for courses in such learning situations. Via this approac...

More than $18 billion annually is attributed to care of patients with ESRD, with the perception of high renal costs for a relatively small population. It was proposed that accounting methods exaggerate resource utilization that often occurs with rather than because of kidney failure. The dialysis patients in this study had nearly all of their care at university facilities with one financial dat...
