OntoNotes : A Large Training Corpus for Enhanced Processing

This paper describes a large multilingual richly annotated corpus which is being made available to the community. There is an emphasis on quality and consistency with interannotator agreement rates targeted at 90%. The data covers multiple genres in English, Chinese, and Arabic, including a significant amount of parallel data. The annotation, intended to capture a skeletal representation of literal meaning, includes parse trees, predicate argument structures , word senses localized in an ontology, coreference, and name types. The resource is delivered as an integrated database, supporting combined queries that access multiple annotation layers. Annual incremental releases are distributed via LDC. 1 Motivation, Goals, and Rationale Our goal is to provide data in multiple languages and multiple genres (newswire, broadcast news, broadcast conversation, and web text), richly annotated by a skeletal representation of the literal meaning of sentences, so that a new generation of language understanding would deliver new functional capability. Our inspiration has been the impact on research and on applications of two seminal annotation products: the UPenn Treebank for syntax (Marcus, et al., 1993) and PropBank for semantic role labeling (Palmer et al., 2005). As shown in Figure 1, to the baseline structure of parse trees and propositions, OntoNotes adds 1 This work was supported under the GALE program of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Contract No. HR0011-06-C-0022. • Referring expressions and the textual phrases they refer to • Terms disambiguated by word sense and localized in an ontology • Named Entities Based on our interpretation of the criteria for successfully applying learning algorithms, our guiding principle has been to find a “sweet spot” in the space of • Inter-tagger agreement, so that human agreement as a ceiling on algorithm performance is as high as possible. • Productivity, so that the amount of training data is maximized, given a budget, • Depth of representation, so that the added semantic features are as deep as possible. The methodology described here was tested prior to entering production mode, where pilot rounds of annotation were conducted to find the sweet spot above. In particular, only those classes of co-reference satisfying the methodology above during the pilot study are annotated. The methodology has been applied for each word; the sense inventory for a word is selected according to the criteria above. Another dimension of the OntoNotes product is the integration of all of the annotations in a dataText Co-reference Word Sense wrt Ontology Treebank

PRKAA1 (protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 1)

Protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 1 (PRKAA1), also known as AMPK α1, is an energy sensor that plays a key role in the regulation of cellular energy metabolism. AMPK α1 is the catalytic subunit of the heterotrimeric AMPK protein with a length of 548 amino acids. A key switch to activate this protein is an alteration in the AMP/ATP ratio. The protein is dysregulated in several human diseases including diabetes and metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases and many cancer types (Steinberg and Kemp, 2009). Two isoforms of AMPK exist including AMPK α1 and AMPK α2; however, discrimination between these isoforms for their involvement in certain diseases is currently not possible.
Enhancing MPEG for Model Based Coding

This paper describes an enhancement of an MPEG reference implementation to apply model based coding for more efficient video coding. While the maximum efficiency of standard coding schemes converges against the minimal entropy of a video signal, even lower data rates can be achieved by coding model based with the assumption of previous knowledge at the receiving end. With the help of computer graphical developments this approach promises a dramatic decrease in data rates for video
Trema orientalis L. and Dialium guineense Wild. used to manage hypertension in Bénin: phytochemical study and antioxidant activity

Trema orientalis L. (Celtidaceae) and Dialium guineense Wild. (Caesalpiniaceae) are used traditionally as remedy against headache, pains, diarrhoea, fever and hypertension. Despite their approved efficacy there are little scientific data available on their biological potential. The present study investigated the phytochemical study and antioxidant activity of Trema orientalis and Dialium guineense. The phytochemical screening was carried out using standard procedures. The phenolic and flavonoids contents were determined using Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminium chloride reagent. The antioxidant activity was evaluated using 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl, Ferric reducing capacity, superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide methods. Tremas orientalis was the most active in the ferric reducing capacity with 6007.8 ± 175. 57µmol AAE g-1. The superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities ranged from 88.52±0.68 % to 91.33±4.01%. The DPPH scavenging activity was dose dependent. Dialium guineense was the most active with an inhibitory percentage of 96.06 ± 0.34 % comparable to ascorbic acid (99.46 ± 0.37 %).
Electrochemical Properties of Monoclinic NaMnO 2

Monoclinic αNaMnO2 is re-investigated electrochemically as a positive electrode material for sodium ion batteries. About 0.85 Na can be deintercalated from NaMnO2 and 0.8 Na be intercalated back during potentiostatical intermittent charge and discharge. Galvanostatical cycling between 2.0 V and 3.8 V gives 185 mAh/g discharge capacity for the first cycle at C/10 rate and 132 mAh/g remains after 20 cycles. Charge and discharge curves are significantly different indicating more hysteresis than is typical for lithium intercalation compounds. We also explain the remarkable difference between layered LiMnO2 and NaMnO2 upon alkali removal. © 2011 The Electrochemical Society. [DOI: 10.1149/2.035112jes] All rights reserved.
In vitro evaluation of anthelmintic activity of tannin-containing plant Artemisia extracts against Haemonchus contortus from goat

Gastrointestinal nematode causes significant production losses in grazing ruminants and anthelmintic resistance are increasing at an alarming rate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro anthelmintic effects of tannin-containing plant Artemisia vulgaris against stomach worm Haemonchus contortus of goat. In this respect, in vitro anthelmintic activities of crude aqueous and ethanolic extracts of aerial parts of A. vulgaris were investigated on eggs, larvae (L3) and adults of H. contortus in the laboratory. Experimental plant Artemisia was collected, dried in shade and grinded to coarse powder and subjected to prepare crude aqueous and ethanolic extract. The experiment revealed that crude ethanolic extracts completely inhibited egg hatching at concentration of 5 mg/ml whereas aqueous extracts at concentration of 10 mg/ml. After exposure of 8 hours, the crude ethanolic extracts inhibited 69.33%, 51% and 38% larval motility tested at 20 mg/ml, 10 mg/ml and 5 mg/ml concentrations, respectively while the crude aqueousextracts inhibited 57.33%, 48.67% and 34.67% at the same concentrations. The ethanolic extract showed better in vitro effects against adult stomach worm than the aqueous extract in terms of motility inhibition at different hours post-treatment. Dose dependent effects were also observed for both extract. After 2 and 8 hours of exposure, the ethanolic extract induced 53.33% and 100% mortality at the highest tested concentration respectively, while the aqueous extract induced 47.67% and 86.67% at the same concentration. To our best knowledge, this is the first study in Bangladesh on the in vitro anthelmintic effects of A. vulgaris against H. contortus. Further in vitro and in vivo trials with this plant are required to evaluate their anthelmintic effects precisely. J Bangladesh Agril Univ 17(3): 363–368, 2019
Determinants of Frontier Innovation and Technology Adoption: Cross-Country Evidence

Most conventional macroeconomic measures of innovation, such as research and development (R&D) spending or patenting, focus on frontier innovation in contrast to the adoption and adaptation of existing technologies. To capture technology adoption at the country level, this paper exploits a novel measure of innovation based on the innovation intensity of a country’s exports. While broadly similar factors influence patenting and innovation intensity of exports, important nuances emerge. While higher patenting is mainly associated with higher per capita income, better education and a higher degree of financial development, innovation intensity of exports appears to be more closely linked to the size and openness of the economy and the lack of natural resource rents. While higher levels of R&D spending by both businesses and governments are associated with higher patent output, only business R&D appears to be positively linked to a more innovation-intensive structure of exports.
Growth Kinetic Study in Biological Removal of Hydrogen Sulfide from Natural Gas in Batch Bioreactor

The objective of the present study was to assess the Non-structured kinetic models of microorganisms used in biological desulfurization of hydrogen sulfide from gas stream in a batch bioreactor. The microorganisms used for the removal of hydrogen sulfide were originated from a hot spring. The experiments were conducted with mixed gas at operating temperatures of 25 to 45°C with a time interval of 5h. Different kinetic models such as Monod, Logistic, Tessier, Moser and Verhulst are considered and compared by means of statistical tools. Temperature of 35°C revealed the highest regression values by fitting the experimental data obtained from measurement of bacterial growth and substrate utilization with all used models. At this temperature, the achieved regression values for Monod, Logistic, Tessier, Moser and Verhulst models were 0.95, 0.98, 0.92, 0.93 and 0.91, respectively which were reasonably acceptable. The maximum specific growth rates were also determined to be 0.315, 0.240, 0.858, 0.33 and 0.143 for Monod, Logistic, Tessier, Moser and Verhulst model, respectively. In addition, the hydrogen sulfide removal was 72% at 35°C. The maximum cell dry weight was 0.733 g.l-1 which achieved by Verhulst model. The inhibition coefficient was another parameter which was evaluated as a parameter affecting growth kinetics. As the gas temperature was increased to 45 °C, the inhibition coefficient may be dominated in growth kinetic. In overall, the microorganism isolated from a hot spring was capable of oxidizing sulfur compound and caused an acceptable amount of the hydrogen sulfide to be removed. doi: 10.5829/idosi.ije. 2016.29. 06c.00

Key-Cumulative Cryptosystem for Accessible Data Sharing in Cloud Storage MVV

Cryptography is the art and science of achieving security by encoding the message or data to make them unreadable. It is related to the aspects of network security such as privacy, reliability and accessibility of the data. A cryptosystem or cryptographic system is only the authenticated way in which user can access the encrypted data and decrypt it. The authenticated messages are shared between the authorized users. Security in cloud computing is a major concern. There are some cryptosystem techniques introduced in this security. First, Attribute Based Encryption is a public key encryption technique which is used to enable the access control over the encrypted data using qualified attributes. Second, Identity Based Encryption allows for a sender can encrypt a message to an identity without access to a public key certificate. Third, a new public key cryptosystem encrypt a message not only a public key but also under an identifier of the ciphertext classes.
Morpho-Physiological Responses of Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench to Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Inoculation under Drought Stress

Aims: To assess the potential impacts of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) (G. geosporum) inoculation on the survival of A. esculentus under drought stress. Study Design: This experiment was set up in a completely randomized design (CRD) with all treatments replicated thrice. This gave a total of 7 treatments, 21 replicates. Place and Duration of Study: The experimental soil used for this study was collected from the Botanical Garden of the Department of Biological Sciences, Ritman University (Latitude 5º11’44ºN and Longitude 7º42’12ºE), Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. All analysis was carried out in Soil Science Laboratory and Botany Laboratory, Akwa Ibom State University, between January and march 2019. Methodology: Soil samples were analyzed following the standard procedures outlined for wet acid digestions. Growth parameters were determined using standard methods. At Leaf chlorophyll meter was employed in the assessment of the photosynthetic pigments of the experimental plant. Biomass yield were calculated using standard formulas. Results: The physicochemical analysis of the experimental soil used in this study revealed the physical and chemical properties of the soil; pH (6.12), EC (0.06dS/m), organic matter (2.90%), Av. P (44.62 mg/kg) and textural class of the soil was described as loamy sandy soil. Shoot length, petiole length, internode length, number of leaves and leaf area as well as the total photosynthetic pigments (TPP) contents of A. esculentus were significantly (P =.05) reduced (from 38.77±3.01 mg/kg to 29.83±1.89 mg/kg) by drought stress. There was also significantly (P = .05) reduction in N, P, K, Ca and Mg composition of A. esculentus as well as its biomass yield. However, the inoculation of A. esculentus roots with AMF (G. geosporum) in this study through several morphological and physiological processes exhibited remarkable improvement in growth morphology, total photosynthetic pigments, macronutrients composition as well as biomass yield. Conclusion: The results of this work have shown that AMF can enhance the ability of A. esculentus to resist drought stress possibly through some morphological and physiological changes which improves water and nutrients uptake.

Increasing Pregnancy by Improving Embryo Transfer Techniques

Embryo transfer (ET) is universally recognized as the final and most critical stage in an in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome (Neithardt et al., 2005; Ghazzawi et al., 1999). The majority of couples (approximately 80%) who undergo IVF reach the embryo transfer stage, yet few pregnancies occur (Mansour & Aboulghar, 2002; Adamson et al., 2006). Although embryo genetic abnormalities (Munne et al., 1995) and imperfections in uterine receptivity are some important factors which influence implantation, embryo transfer technique may be directly responsible for a lot of unsuccessful embryo implantations. Embryo transfer necessitates the joint attempts of the reproductive biologist and the clinician. Without healthy embryos, embryo transfer will fail. On the other hand, a poor embryo transfer technique often results in embryo implantation failure (Schoolcraft et al., 2001). However, comparatively less attention has been paid to ET techniques than IVF technique (Mansour & Aboulghar, 2002; Schoolcraft et al., 2001). This might be due to misconception of some clinicians in which the type of transfer does not affect the outcome (Schoolcraft et al., 2001). The early researchers recommended that a careful embryo transfer technique is necessary for successful IVF (Meldrum et al., 1987). Recently, many investigators have identified the relationship between IVF outcome and different techniques and they have noted a pregnancy rate of 33.3% for “excellent” transfers, and 10.5% for “poor” transfers (Englert et al., 1986, as cited in Schoolcraft et al., 2001). In this chapter we attempt to review the variables and, techniques that may refine the embryo transfer technique and divide them to the following three stages: before, during, and after embryo transfer.

Linear Space Boostrap Communication Scheme

We consider a system of n processes with ids not a priori known, that are drawn from a large space, potentially unbounded. How can these n processes communicate to solve a task? We show that n a priori allocated Multi-Writer MultiReader (MWMR) registers are both needed and sufficient to solve any read-write wait-free solvable task. This contrasts with the existing possible solution borrowed from adaptive algorithms that require Θ(n2) MWMR registers. To obtain these results, the paper shows how the processes can non-blocking emulate a system of n Single-Writer Multi-Reader (SWMR) registers on top of n MWMR registers. It is impossible to do such an emulation with n− 1 MWMR registers. Furthermore, we want to solve a sequence of tasks (potentially infinite) that are sequentially dependent (processes need the previous task’s outputs in order to proceed to the next task). A non-blocking emulation might starve a process forever. By doubling the space complexity, using 2n − 1 rather than just n registers, the computation is wait-free rather than non-blocking.
Latency-Sensitive 5 G RAN Slicing for Industry 4 . 0

Network slicing is a novel 5G paradigm that exploits the virtualization and softwarization of networks to create different logical network instances over a common network infrastructure. Each instance is tailored for specific Quality of Service (QoS) profiles so that network slicing can simultaneously support several services with diverse requirements. Network slicing can be applied at the Core Network or at the Radio Access Network (RAN). RAN slicing is particularly relevant to support latency-sensitive or timecritical applications since the RAN accounts for a significant part of the end-to-end transmission latency. In this context, this study proposes a novel latency-sensitive 5G RAN slicing solution. The proposal includes schemes to design slices and partition (or allocate) radio resources among slices. These schemes are designed with the objective to satisfy both the rate and latency demands of diverse applications. In particular, this study considers applications with deterministic aperiodic, deterministic periodic and nondeterministic traffic. The latency-sensitive 5G RAN slicing proposal is evaluated in Industry 4.0 scenarios where stringent and/or deterministic latency requirements are common. However, it can be evolved to support other verticals with latency-sensitive or time-critical applications. INDEX TERMS RAN slicing, network slicing, 5G, Industry 4.0, latency-sensitive, time-critical, deterministic, slices, creation, partitioning, allocation, radio resource management, optimization.
Power Sharing Strategy in Islanded Microgrids

This paper presents a power sharing control method for use between paralleled three-phase inverters in an islanded microgrid under unbalanced and non-linaer loads. In this study, the mismatch of power sharing when the line impedances have significant differences for inverters connected to a microgrid has been solved, the accuracy of power sharing and voltage quality in an islanded microgrid are improved, the voltage droop slope is tuned to compensate for the mismatch in the voltage drops across line impedances by using communication links. The method will ensure in accurate power sharing even if the communication is interrupted. If the load changes while the communication is interrupted, the accuracy of power sharing is reduced but the proposed method is better than the conventional droop control method. In addition, the accuracy of power sharing base on the proposed methodis not affected by the time delay in the communication channel and local loads. The control model has been simulated in Matlab/Simulink with two or three inverters are connected in parallel. The simulation results demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed control method. Futhermore, in order to validate the theory analysis and simulation results, the experimental setup was built in laboratory and the experimental results have demonstrated the effectiveness of proposed methods.
