As protein engineering becomes more sophisticated, practitioners increasingly need to share diagrams for communicating protein designs. To this end, we present a draft visual language, Protein Language, that describes the high-level architecture of an engineered protein with easy-to-draw glyphs, intended to be compatible with other biological diagram languages such as SBOL Visual and SBGN. Prot...

A major obstacle to sharing computable clinical knowledge is the lack of a common language for specifying expressions and criteria. Such a language could be used to specify decision criteria, formulae, and constraints on data and action. Al-though the Arden Syntax addresses this problem for clinical rules, its generalization to HL7's object-oriented data model is limited. The GELLO Expression l...

With the advent of the distinctive characterization of academic languagein the past thirty years, there has been atremendous move in the ESL/EFL world towardsformulatinginstructional techniques compatible with the very nature of these skills. As a part of this effort, this studyinvestigated the role of content and language integrated learning (CLIL) approach in achieving these ends. The study e...

NIL is acronymic for "New Implementation of Lisp" (or possibly "Nil Is Lisp"). It is intended to be a modernization of the programming language LISP suitable in design for implementation on any of the current generation of large-address-space, low-cost computers; and maximally upward-compatible with MACLlSP, the dialect of LISP developed at the M.I.T Laboratory for Computer Science, and Artific...

In [4] the lattice of all subvarieties of the variety G Ex defined by so called externally compatible identities of Abelian groups together with the identity x ≈ y, for any n ∈ N and n ≥ 1 was described. In that paper classes of models of the type (2, 1) where considered. It appears that diagrams of lattices of subvariaties defined by externally compatible identities satisfied in a given equati...

background: the main goal of this study was to conduct a comparative population genetic study of turkish speaking iranian azeris as being the biggest ethno-linguistic community, based on the polymorph markers on y chromosome.  methods: one hundred turkish-speaking azeri males from north-west iran (tabriz, 2008-2009) were selected based on living 3 generations paternally in the same region and n...

This paper defines the agile enterprise as one which is able to both manage and apply knowledge effectively, and suggests that value from either capability is impeded if they are not in balance. It looks at the application of knowledge as requiring a change, and overviews a body of analytical work on change proficiency in business systems and processes. It looks at knowledge management as a str...
