Recent data indicate that nuclear lamina (NL) plays a relevant role in many fundamental cellular functions. The peculiar role of NL in cells is dramatically demonstrated by the Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), an inherited laminopathy that causes premature, rapid aging shortly after birth. In HGPS, a mutant form of Lamin A (progeria) leads to a dysmorphic NL structure, but how this ...

This paper deals with Natural Language (NL) questionanswering to knowledge bases (KB). It considers the usual conceptual graphs (CG) approach for NL semantic interpretation by joins of canonical graphs and compares it to the computational linguistics approach for NL question-answering based on logical forms. After these theoretical considerations, the paper presents a system for querying a KB o...

Granuloma annulare (GA) and necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) are granulomatous diseases of undetermined etiology. Rarely, both dermatoses have been reported to occur concomitantly in patients. GA and NL are characterized histologically by areas of necrobiosis of collagen. The two diseases share some common characteristics, which may suggest that these dermatoses could occur as a spectrum in some pati...

As one of the most fundamental security mechanisms of resources, Access Control Policies (ACP) specify which principals such as users or processes have access to which resources. Ensuring the correct specification and enforcement of ACPs is crucial to prevent security vulnerabilities. However, in practice, ACPs are commonly written in Natural Language (NL) and buried in large documents such as ...

The avian auditory brainstem nuclei nucleus magnocellularis (NM) and nucleus laminaris (NL) display highly precise patterns of neuronal connectivity. NM projects tonotopically to the dorsal dendrites of ipsilateral NL neurons and to the ventral dendrites of contralateral NL neurons. The precision of this binaural segregation is evident at the earliest developmental stage at which connections ca...

26 Nucleus Laminaris (NL) neurons encode interaural time difference (ITD), the cue used to 27 localize low-frequency sounds. A physiologically-based model of NL input suggests that ITD 28 information is contained in narrow frequency bands around harmonics of the sound frequency. 29 This suggested a theory which predicts that, for each tone frequency, there is an optimal time 30 course for synap...

People frequently and effectively integrate deictic and graphic gestures with their natural language (NL) when conducting human-to-human dialogue. Similar multi-modal communication can facilitate human interaction with modern sophisticated information processing and decision-aiding computer systems. As part of the CUBRICON project, we are developing NL processing technology that incorporates de...

Plants possess compounds serving as reducing agents for green synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), which is currently considered biomedical application. Exposure to cadmium (Cd) can affect the functional integrity several organs such kidney and liver. Nymphaea lotus (NL) known its medicinal properties, including protective role against tissue damages. This study investigated bioactive in NL...

Abstract In many cases, images contain sensitive information and patterns that require secure processing to avoid risk. It can be accessed by unauthorized users who illegally exploit them threaten the safety of people’s life property. Protecting privacies has quickly become one biggest obstacles prevent further exploration image data. this paper, we propose a novel privacy-preserving scheme pro...

A recombinant hepatitis B virus (HBV) expressing NanoLuc (NL) (HBV/NL) was produced by cotransfecting a plasmid containing a 1.2-fold HBV genome carrying the NL gene with a plasmid bearing a packaging-defective 1.2-fold HBV genome into a human hepatoma cell line, HepG2. We found that NL activity in HBV/NL-infected primary hepatocytes or sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide-transduced ...
