Observations are our means to assess spatiotemporal phenomena in the real world. They are basic units for spatiotemporal data representation and are distributed by data providers using different formats and standards. In this work, we propose an approach to discover, access and integrate spatiotemporal observations from different kinds of data sources using RDF framework and SPARQL language. Th...

We introduce ADOnIS, an information system which coherently integrates two important, yet mostly disparate data sources, namely structured, tabular data, and unstructured data in terms of publications. The integration is achieved by providing the underlying background knowledge of the domains involved in terms of adequately tailored ontologies. Once the two basic data sources are semantically l...

Photodermatoses are skin conditions that are induced or exacerbated by electromagnetic radiation (including visible light, UV light, and infrared radiation) from the sun or artificial light sources. In Part 1 of this series we review current understanding of the pathophysiology of these processes and their classification. We also discuss technical aspects and the basic physics of photobiology a...

The IceCube neutrino telescope, to be constructed near the Antarctic South Pole, represents the next generation of neutrino telescope. Its large 1 km size will make it uniquely sensitive to the detection of neutrinos from astrophysical sources. The current design of the detector is presented. The basic performance of the detector and its ability to search for neutrinos from various astrophysica...

We use the singular sources method to detect the shape of the obstacle in a mixed boundary value problem. The basic idea of the method is based on the singular behavior of the scattered field of the incident point-sources on the boundary of the obstacle. Moreover we take advantage of the scattered field estimate by the backprojection operator. Also we give a uniqueness proof for the shape recon...

We discuss the basic difficulties in understanding the origin of the highest energy particles in the Universe the ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (UHECR). It is difficult to imagine the sources they are accelerated in. Because of the strong attenuation of UHECR on their propagation from the sources to us these sources should be at cosmologically short distance from us but are currently not identif...

In this paper, we outline a basic framework for the reproduction of the wave field of moving virtual sound sources. Conventional implementations usually reproduce moving virtual sources as a sequence of stationary positions. This process leads to various artifacts as reported in the literature. On the example of wave field synthesis, we show that the explicit consideration of the physical prope...

No wonder you activities are, reading will be always needed. It is not only to fulfil the duties that you need to finish in deadline time. Reading will encourage your mind and thoughts. Of course, reading will greatly develop your experiences about everything. Reading visual basic 2005 a developer s notebook is also a way as one of the collective books that gives many advantages. The advantages...

Overall, this outstanding text should soon become recognized as the definitive reference for the diagnosis and management of ocular trauma. The tall, narrow shape of Basic Facts for Basic Science suggests that perhaps the author intended that it be put into the pocket of one's lab coat; perhaps not, but this book is certainly appropriate for the shelf of any laboratory and for the office of any...

Some other possible conclusions come easily to mind. Perhaps, if we’re really concerned about students’ learning evidence-based medicine, then we should teach it more or better. On the other hand I am one of many who have joined the anti-EBM movement (Norman 1999). In my view, the fundamental irony remains that, even though it made the BMJ’s ‘‘Top 15 Medical Innovations of all Time’’ list in 20...
