Number or Nuance: Which Factors Restrict Reliable Word Sense Annotation?
This study attempts to pinpoint the factors that restrict reliable word sense annotation, focusing on the influence of the number of senses annotators use and the semantic granularity of those senses. Both of these factors may be possible causes of low interannotator agreement (ITA) when tagging with fine-grained word senses, and, consequently, low WSD system performance (Ng et al., 1999; Snyde...
متن کاملMycobacterial factors relevant for transmission of tuberculosis.
BACKGROUND Tuberculosis (TB) transmission is associated with patient-related risk factors. However, DNA fingerprint analysis has provided anecdotal evidence suggesting a role for bacteriological factors. METHODS To examine the importance of the bacteriological component in TB transmission, we investigated the number of tuberculin skin test-positive (TST induration, ≥ 10 mm) contacts and secon...
متن کاملGold-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles restrict growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) and their derivatives (aminosilane and gold-coated) have been widely investigated in numerous medical applications, including their potential to act as antibacterial drug carriers that may penetrate into bacteria cells and biofilm mass. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a frequent cause of infection in hospitalized patients, and significant numbers of...
متن کاملMannose metabolism is required for mycobacterial growth.
Mycobacteria are the causative agents of tuberculosis and several other significant diseases in humans. All species of mycobacteria synthesize abundant cell-wall mannolipids (phosphatidylinositol mannosides, lipoarabinomannan), a cytoplasmic methylmannose polysaccharide and O-mannosylated glycoproteins. To investigate whether these molecules are essential for mycobacterial growth, we have gener...
متن کاملMyeloid Growth Factors Promote Resistance to Mycobacterial Infection by Curtailing Granuloma Necrosis through Macrophage Replenishment
The mycobacterial ESX-1 virulence locus accelerates macrophage recruitment to the forming tuberculous granuloma. Newly recruited macrophages phagocytose previously infected apoptotic macrophages to become new bacterial growth niches. Granuloma macrophages can then necrose, releasing mycobacteria into the extracellular milieu, which potentiates their growth even further. Using zebrafish with gen...
