We propose to present NLProv: an end-to-end Natural Language (NL) interface for database queries. Previous work has focused on interfaces for specifying NL questions, which are then compiled into queries in a formal language (e.g. SQL). We build upon this work, but focus on presenting a detailed form of the answers in Natural Language. The answers that we present are importantly based on the pr...

The paper is a study on natural language (NL) from the viewpoint of the conceptual model integration. The universality, unifying abilities, natural extensibility, logic and reusability of NL, as well as its morphological and syntactic stability, made the modelers think of transposing these features to object and process modeling. A correspondence is established here between the main concepts an...

Natural language (NL) interfaces for DB query formulation have always been recognized as a much needed enhancement for end-users. Poor performances with earlier NL systems had led to a lull in research in this field. However, latter-day experiments and systems appear to be sufficiently more promising to warrant continued and further research in this area. This study proposes an experimental que...

This paper presents a completeness result for a first-order interval temporal logic, called Neighbourhood Logic (NL) which has two neighbourhood modalities. NL can support the specification of liveness and fairness properties of computing systems as well as formalisation of many concepts of real analysis. These two modalities are also adequate in the sense that they can derive other important u...

As the author of a "practical" NL data base query system, one of the suggested topics for this panel is of particular interest to me. The issue of what hurdles remain before NL systems become practical strikes particulary close to home. %s someone with a more pragmatic view of NL processing, my feeling is, not surprisingly, that we already have the capability to construct practical ~:L systems....

Travel demand is well announced as a crucial component of transportation planning. This paper aims to develop a direct demand model, denoting a more acceptable abstraction of reality, for intercity passengers in daily work and leisure trips in Tehran province. The model utilizes combined estimation across the data source, collected in 2011, of travelers originating from ...

It has been shown that nitric oxide is synthesized in the central nervous system as well as in vascular endothelial cells. Recently, it was reported that nitric oxide was involved in central cardiovascular regulation, baroreflex modulation, and involved in a reciprocal release with excitatory amino acids in the nucleus tractus solitarii of rats. The purpose of the present study was to investiga...

We investigate the complexity of a puzzle that turns out to be NLcomplete.

E u r o p e a n S o c i e t y o f C l i n i c a l P h a r m a c y The overall aim of the Society is to develop and promote the rational and appropriate use of medicines by the individual and by society. As the new vice-president of ESCP I like to share some personal thoughts with you. When you are beginning with such new duties, you should – for a moment feel like Janus, the god of the ancient ...

background: the areas of the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (bst) with a high density of estrogen receptors are involved in cardiovascular regulation and send axonal projections to the rostroventrolateral medulla (rvlm). we aimed to find the contribution of the rvlm to cardiovascular responses elicited by glutamate microinjection into the bst. methods: experiments were done in α-chloralose...
