Thinking ' Inside the Box ' with Description Logics

Linked Data Need Not Rediscover the Past; A Surprise in Every Box A standard cliché of management consultants is the exhortation to think "outside the box. " Of course, what is meant by this is to question assumptions, to think differently, to look at problems from new perspectives. With our recent release of the (linked open data) 'LOD constellation' of linked data classes based around UMBEL, I have been fielding a lot of inquiries on what the relationship is of UMBEL to DBpedia. (See, for example, this current interview by the Semantic Web Company with me and Sören Auer of the DBpedia project.) This also fits into the ongoing distinction we have made in the UMBEL project between our subject concepts (classes) and named entities (instances). What has actually most been helping my thinking is to get fully inside the box (or, rather, boxes, hehe). Let me explain.
Large Currents Generate Cardiac Ca

Previous models of cardiac Ca sparks have assumed that Ca currents through the Ca release units (CRUs) were 1–2 pA, producing sparks with peak fluorescence ratio (F/F0) of 2.0 and a full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of 1 m. Here, we present actual Ca sparks with peak F/F0 of 6 and a FWHM of 2 m, and a mathematical model of such sparks, the main feature of which is a much larger underlying Ca current. Assuming infinite reaction rates and no endogenous buffers, we obtain a lower bound of 11 pA needed to generate a Ca spark with FWHM of 2 m. Under realistic conditions, the CRU current must be 20 pA to generate a 2m Ca spark. For currents 5 pA, the computed spark amplitudes (F/F0) are large ( 6–12 depending on buffer model). We considered several factors that might produce sparks with FWHM 2 m without using large currents. Possible protein–dye interactions increased the FWHM slightly. Hypothetical Ca “quarks” had little effect, as did blurring of sparks by the confocal microscope. A clusters of CRUs, each producing 10 pA simultaneously, can produce sparks with FWHM 2 m. We conclude that cardiac Ca sparks are significantly larger in peak amplitude than previously thought, that such large Ca sparks are consistent with the measured FWHM of 2 m, and that the underlying Ca current is in the range of 10–20 pA.

Respiratory Injury: Smoke Inhalation and Burns

Bargaining with reading habit is no need. Reading is not kind of something sold that you can take or not. It is a thing that will change your life to life better. It is the thing that will give you many things around the world and this universe, in the real world and here after. As what will be given by this respiratory injury smoke inhalation and burns, how can you bargain with the thing that has many benefits for you?
Information Models for an Interoperable Web of Things

A Web Of Things will enable application level interoperability. Application software will make use of sensors, actuators, and other data sources, analogous to the way humans make use of information on the World Wide Web. To make this a reality, hypermedia driven APIs can be annotated with machine understandable hyperlinks. Standards developed in the IETF CoRE (Constrained RESTful Environments) working group provide for standard web object encapsulation of sensor data with appropriate semantic linking and protocols for web scale resource discovery. We are seeing the emergence of architectures for the deployment of IoT services. What is still needed for application interoperability is a common set of high level patterns for the creation, manipulation, and use of descriptive, machine understandable hyperlinks, built on underlying web standard mechanisms and protocols. Information models1 can be built on a base of reusable concepts, relations, and attributes. The W3C could become a venue for standardizing information models that accommodate existing information and data models, enhance the functionality of existing models, as well as standardize new information models.
Semantic Processing and Vocabulary Development of Adult ESL Learners

This experimental study investigates the effects of a semantic processing technique—semantic mapping—on the recognition and production of new L2 vocabulary. Two intact classes (a total of 48 students) from the English to speakers of other languages (ESOL) program in a public school in Maryland participated in this study. One of the two classes was randomly chosen to serve as the treatment group and the other as the control group. In order to investigate the effectiveness of instruction, a word recognition task and a production task were administered prior to the treatment (pre-test) and following the treatment (post-test). Results reveal that while there was a significant improvement over time between the preand post-test for the treatment group, the control group did not demonstrate any significant progress. More specifically, results of the study show that semantic mapping is relatively more effective in the case of receptive retrieval processes than in productive retrieval processes. This study suggests that semantic mapping can serve as an effective device in teaching L2 vocabulary.
1 GROUP AFFILIATION AND CORPORATE PERFORMANCE : EVIDENCE FROM AN EMERGING ECONOMY

This study compares overall financial characteristics of the Turkish nonfinancial firms across a variety of ownership variables. We essentially analyze the performance of affiliates of diversified Turkish business groups relative to unaffiliated firms. We find that group affiliated firms have higher return on assets than unaffiliated focused firms. This positive relationship, however, does not hold for other accounting and stock market measures of performance. Our findings also indicate that the performance measures of family-owned are not different from those of nonfamily-owned firms. Results also suggest that foreign-owned firms perform significantly better in terms of return on assets than domestic firms, but not in terms of other performance measures.
Image-Sentence Multimodal Embedding with Instructive Objectives

To encode images and sentences into a joint vector space is the first step of the encoder-decoder model for image captioning, also an important and natural problem itself. With image and word features pretrained, we present some novel ideas for learning a multimodal embedding space with images and sentences. Setting image feature vectors as initial hidden layers of LSTM provides combined embeddings of images and sentences and therefore new objectives for training based on it. Two different layers of image features from CNN are combined together to better represent the information inside. For experiments, the encoder enables us to rank sentences for a specific image and visa versa, where some quantitative improvements in results are shown. Finally, some interesting multimodal linguistic regularities in the embedding space are shown.
Important Enabler in the Knowledge Sharing Process : Top Management Support

This quantitative survey carried out among accountants and managers revealed that individual and organizational enablers are critical in ensuring the success of knowledge sharing process, through knowledge donating and knowledge collecting. Knowledge of accounting information, whether it be financial or non-financial, is an important driver on the success of an organization. Successful companies ensure that important knowledge is shared throughout the organization. The results of this study show that top management support is an important enabler in the knowledge sharing process. The study provides an insight on how knowledge sharing should be integrated as part of the business strategies to improve business performance. Keywords-enablers, top management support, knowledge donating, knowledge collecting, knowledge sharing process.
ecovery of phosphorus from natural water bodies using iron-oxidizing bacteria nd woody biomass

There is a global concern that phosphorus (P) resources will be depleted in the near future, but the P flux from water to land is extremely limited, whereas the reverse flux is substantial. A new method for the recovery of P from natural water bodies was proposed using iron-oxidizing bacteria and woody biomass (heartwood of conifer) as a carrier and a practical demonstration was presented. The woody

LONG RUN AND CYCLICAL DYNAMICS IN THE US STOCK MARKET Abstract

This paper examines the long-run dynamics and the cyclical structure of various series related to the US stock market using fractional integration. We implement a procedure which enables one to consider unit roots with possibly fractional orders of integration both at the zero (longrun) and the cyclical frequencies. We examine the following series: inflation, real risk-free rate, real stock returns, equity premium and price/dividend ratio, annually from 1871 to 1993. When focusing exclusively on the long-run or zero frequency, the estimated order of integration varies considerably, but nonstationarity is found only for the price/dividend ratio. When the cyclical component is also taken into account, the series appear to be stationary but to exhibit long memory with respect to both components in almost all cases. The exception is the price/dividend ratio, whose order of integration is higher than 0.5 but smaller than 1 for the long-run frequency, and is between 0 and 0.5 for the cyclical component. Also, mean reversion occurs in all cases. Finally, we use six different criteria to compare the forecasting performance of the fractional (at both zero and cyclical frequencies) models with others based on fractional and integer differentiation only at the zero frequency. The results show that the former outperforms the others in a number of cases. JEL Code: C22, G12, G14.
Effect of Ramyen and Noodles Intake in Diet & Health Status of Koreans

Ramyen and Korean noodles (guksu) are popular foods in Korea and around the world. Since 1998, rice consumption in Korea has gradually decreased, whereas consumption of noodles has continuously increased. The purpose of this study is to assess the consumption of ramyen and Korean noodles of Koreans, using data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) of 2007. Korean adults (>20) were selected to examine the associations between noodle consumption and food and nutrient intake and health status. SAS 9.1 and SUDAAN 9.1 were used for the data analysis. 10.3% of Korean adults consumed ramyen, and 15.4% consumed Korean noodles. The consumption of ramyen and Korean noodles were higher in men than in women, in lunch than in other meals, and in the lowest income quartile than the highest quartile. Ramyen and Korean noodle consumer groups consumed more grain products, seasonings, and oils than the nonconsumer group. The noodle group showed significantly lower systolic blood pressure than the non-consumer group. The noodle groups showed lower rates of hypertension and metabolic syndrome than the non-consumer group. From these results, we conclude that ramyen and Korean noodles may have positive health effects. More studies on the association between noodles and the health of Koreans and those in other countries should be done in the future.

Vers une définition opérationnelle de la fragilité

Sur la base d'un echantillon de 340 octogenaires suisses inclus dans l'etude longitudinale suisse des tres âges (SWILSO-O), cet article propose une definition operationnelle de la fragilite utilisant cinq dimensions de la sante: la mobilite, les capacites sensorielles, l'energie, la memoire et les troubles physiques rapportes par les personnes âgees elles-memes. Nous postulons que la fragilite apparait des lors qu'il y a des problemes ou des difficultes sur deux des cinq dimensions sus-mentionnees. En croisant l'indicateur de fragilite avec celui de dependance fonctionnelle, 38% des enquetes sont independants, 12% sont dependants fonctionnels. Le suivi longitudinal sur cinq ans de la cohorte d'octogenaires demontre que l'indicateur de fragilite initialement propose est coherent avec la definition theorique de la fragilite: les personnes fragiles sont plus a risque de chutes, de maladies, d'incapacites fonctionnelles et de deces par rapport aux personnes independantes.
Title Effects of Filler-gap Dependencies Working Memory Requirements for Parsing Permalink

Corpus studies by Schuler, AbdelRahman, Miller, and Schwartz (2010), appear to support a model of comprehension taking place in a general-purpose working memory store, by providing an existence proof that a simple probabilistic sequence model over stores of up to four syntacticallycontiguous memory elements has the capacity to reconstruct phrase structure trees for over 99.9% of the sentences in the Penn Treebank Wall Street Journal corpus (Marcus, Santorini, & Marcinkiewicz, 1993), in line with capacity estimates for general-purpose working memory, e.g. by Cowan (2001). But capacity predictions of this simple structure-based model ignore non-structural dependencies, such as long-distance fillergap dependencies, that may place additional demands on working memory. Distinguishing unattached gap fillers from open attachment sites in syntactically-contiguous memory elements requires this contiguity constraint to be strengthened to a constraint that working memory elements be semantically contiguous. This paper presents corpus results showing that this stricter semantic contiguity constraint still predicts working memory requirements in line with capacity estimates such as that of Cowan (2001).
1 A Test Case for Markedness : The Acquisition of Québec French Stress

This paper examines the arguments for and against final prominence in French as reflecting an iambic stress system versus phrase-final intonational prominence. The stress analysis is shown to be challenged, as French is not typical of iambic languages on any dimension, while the intonation analysis requires the postulation of a cross-linguistically marked prosodic hierarchy, one without foot and prosodic word. Although it is argued that the data slightly favor the stress analysis, it is proposed that they are sufficiently confounding for first language learners to converge on this grammar without a strong role assigned to Universal Grammar and markedness. All languages are assumed to have feet and prosodic words. If learners presume the existence of the foot, they should analyze the consistent part of the French system, final prominence, in terms of this constituent: as a right-aligned iambic foot. Markedness is then hypothesized to influence learners’ decisions about the type of stress system to build: the domain in which stress is computed should be the prosodic word; the system should be quantity-sensitive; and footing should be iterative. Finally, word minimality should be respected. These predictions are tested against data from one learner of Québec French at ages 2;2,29 and 2;4,04. It is shown that this child’s outputs largely support the position that, even in the face of uncertain evidence from the ambient language, markedness strongly influences early grammars on the prosodic dimension.
Chapter 1 Are Synchronous Programs Logic Programs ?

Synchronous languages have been introduced as programming languages that directly reflect the nature of reactive systems: Their execution is divided into discrete reaction steps such that in each reaction step, inputs are read from the environment and outputs are instantaneously computed. Reaction steps, which are also called macro steps, consist thereby of a set of atomic micro step actions that are executed in the variable environment associated with the macro step. At the beginning of the macro step, only the values of the input variables are known in this variable environment, and the values of the remaining variables have to be computed according to the data-dependencies. Since the micro step actions depend on the variable environment that they also create, it might be the case that there are cyclic dependencies. Whether such cyclic dependencies can be constructively resolved has to be checked by a compile-time causality analysis which will ensure that there is for all inputs a suitable schedule of the micro steps. If the synchronous programs are converted to guarded actions as done in the author’s Averest system, some relationships with logic programs can be found: In particular, the concepts of reaction-to-absence of synchronous languages and negation-to-failure of logic programs seem to be the same; another analogy is found for the generation of equation-based code of synchronous programs and the completion of logic programs, and also for the fix-point analyses defined in both paradigms. This paper outlines these analogies between the two paradigms of programming languages and discusses whether further known semantics of logic programs like well-founded and stable models may find useful counterparts in the synchronous world in future.

Reprogrammable 3 D Mesostructures Through Compressive Buckling of Thin Films with Prestrained Shape Memory Polymer

The mechanically guided assembly that relies on the compressive buckling of strategically patterned 2D thin films represents a robust route to complex 3D mesostructures in advanced materials and even functional micro-devices. Based on this approach, formation of complex 3D configurations with suspended curvy features or hierarchical geometries remains a challenge. In this paper, we incorporate the prestrained shape memory polymer in the 2D precursor design to enable local rolling deformations after the mechanical assembly through compressive buckling. A theoretical model captures quantitatively the effect of key design parameters on local rolling deformations. The combination of precisely controlled global buckling and local rolling expands substantially the range of accessible 3D configurations. The combined experimental and theoretical studies over a dozen of examples demonstrate the utility of the proposed strategy in achieving complex reprogrammable 3D mesostructures.
Title Multiple frequency band and high isolation mobile deviceantennas using a capacitive slot

The performance characteristics of the capacitive slot, or a slot placed between the feed and ground connections, in a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA) are comprehensively analyzed. The PIFA capacitive slot behavior is measured inside a two antenna system within a mobile phone where the first antenna is a multiple band PIFA and the second antenna is a higher frequency band PIFA directly overlapping with the first antenna higher frequency band. The dual band PIFA in this paper is designed to be resonant in the quad-band , and the second PIFA is resonant in the 3G/4G frequency bands. The capacitive slot has three types of behaviors: affect the matching of existing frequency resonances, induce another frequency resonance, and improve the isolation between the two antennas. Together with optimal antenna ground and feed placement, the capacitive slot can act as a notched bandstop filter to decrease the mutual coupling between the two antennas by over 20 dB and decrease the envelope correlation by almost one order of magnitude.
Structural and functional characterization of the multidrug ABC transporter Sav 1866 from Staphylococcus aureus

Several bacterial multidrug ABC transporter proteins were expressed in E. coll, solubilized, purified in detergent solution and analyzed for ATPase activity. Protocols for the individual preparation steps had to be established to produce large amounts of protein suitable for crystallographic experiments. To find optimal solubilization and purification conditions various detergents were applied and the ATPase activity of the individual MDR-ABC transporters in the different detergents was analyzed. Although several zwitterionic detergents produced stable protein with yields of >0.6 mg protein/g wet cell pellet for all transporters, ATPase activity assays of purified and reconstituted protein suggested an irreversible inactivation of the transporter. Extraction with non-ionic detergents DDM and Ci2Eg yielded -0.4 mg protein/g wet cell pellet but demonstrated V04-inhibitable, basal ATPase activity for two MDRABC transporters. Further analysis investigating the stability of the homodimeric proteins showed that only C^Es-solubilized and purified S. aureus Savl866 remained stable at higher concentrations proving suitable for macromolecular crystallography.
