Feedback regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis is mediated by membrane-bound transcription factors designated sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBP)-1 and -2. In sterol-deprived cultured cells, SREBPs are released from membranes by a proteolytic process that is stimulated by SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP), a membrane protein containing a sterol-sensing domain. Sterols sup...

In this paper we describe content determination issues involved in the Atlas.txt project, which aims to automatically describe georeferenced information such as census data as text for the visually-impaired (VI). Texts communicating geo-referenced census information contain census data abstractions and their corresponding geographic references. Because visually impaired users find interpreting ...

A new method for simultaneous and independent on-line determination of bulk density and moisture content in particulate materials by measurements of the relative complex permittivity is proposed. The bulk density is determined, based on a representation in the complex plane of relative complex permittivity normalized to bulk density. For moisture content determination, a new density-independent...

Background and Objective: Adulteration of dairy products by substitution milk fat vegetable oil is common in the Eurasian Economic Union. The objective paper to investigate potential adulteration test more convenient methods detection, i.e., determination fatty acids or sterols profiles commercial butter cream. Materials Methods: Ten samples 8 sour cream were collected on national market Kazakh...

olive oil in general due to it monounsaturation, stability, nutritive value, consistency, taste andaroma might be considered as a valuable and luxury oil. annual importation of olive oil to iran frommediterranean countries is on a large scale although some olive oils are produced in iran particularly in the northand some plantation has been applied in different provinces particularly in fars. t...

This paper discusses two problems that arise in the Generation of Referring Expressions: (a) numeric-valued attributes, such as size or location; (b) perspective-taking in reference. Both problems, it is argued, can be resolved if some structure is imposed on the available knowledge prior to content determination. We describe a clustering algorithm which is sufficiently general to be applied to...

An approach is presented in this paper for determination of the semantic content of a composit concept, based on applying a set of operators, which operate on the values of certain attributes in the initial concepts. The approach is capable of telling the user in what way the drawbacks of one concept can be moderated via employing the other concept. The proposed approach to idea generation can ...

Traditional approaches to referring expression generation (REG) have taken as a fundamental requirement the need to distinguish the intended referent from other entities in the context. It seems obvious that this should be a necessary condition for successful reference; but we suggest that a number of recent investigations cast doubt on the significance of this aspect of reference. In the prese...

Introduction Millikan’s theory of content places great reliance on the existence of isomorphisms between a system of representations and the things in the world which they represent — “the mapping requirement for being intentional signs” (Millikan 2004, p. 106). This paper asks whether those isomorphisms are doing any substantive explanatory work. Millikan’s isomorphism requirement is deployed ...

We update the values of the η-η mixing angle and of the η gluonium content by fitting our measurement Rφ = BR(φ → ηγ)/BR(φ → ηγ) together with several vector meson radiative decays to pseudoscalars (V → Pγ), pseudoscalar mesons radiative decays to vectors (P → V γ) and the η → γγ, π0 → γγ widths. From the fit we extract a gluonium fraction of Z2 G = 0.12±0.04, the pseudoscalar mixing angle ψP =...
