Soil observatory lets researchers dig deep

Cellulases Dig Deep

Enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose is key for the production of second generation biofuels, which represent a long-standing leading area in the field of sustainable energy. Despite the wealth of knowledge about cellulase structure and function, the elusive mechanism by which these enzymes disintegrate the complex structure of their insoluble substrate, which is the gist of cellulose saccharifica...

Researchers fail to dig out enough avalanche data.

Pascal Haegeli and coauthors’ interpretation of their avalanche research findings is unjustified. The authors cannot show an association between survival times and cause of death because cause of death is not reported in the Swiss sample. An association to snow density can’t be shown because it was not measured. The data show that the victims in both cohorts differed in many aspects and much po...

To dig or not to dig.

The DIG Description Logic Interface: DIG/1.1

This document describes a simple API for a general description logic system.

The DIG Description Logic Interface: DIG/1.0

This document describes a simple API for a general description logic system. This forms the first of a number of such specifications. Later versions will introduce more higher-level functionality. The current, Level 0 specification provides basic access to the reasoning capabilities of a DL reasoner.
