In this paper, we define a novel task named interactive gender inference, which aims to utilize interactive text to identify the genders of two interactive users. To address this task, we propose a two stage approach by well incorporating the dependency among the interactive samples sharing identical users. Specifically, we first apply a standard four-category classification algorithm to get a ...

Age and gender differences in ADL ability were investigated using 568 Japanese partially dependent older people (PD, Mean age=82.2±7.76 years) living in welfare institutions. The subjects were asked about 17 ADL items representing 7 ADL domains by the professional staff working at subjects' institutions. Each item was assessed by a dichotomous scale of "possible" or "impossible". Item proportio...

In nature, chiral natural products are usually produced in optically pure form-however, occasionally both enantiomers are formed. These enantiomeric natural products can arise from a single species or from different genera and/or species. Extensive research has been carried out over the years in an attempt to understand the biogenesis of naturally occurring enantiomers; however, many fascinatin...

Various physiological parameters including level of sex steroids undergo alterations following chronic administration of morphine. In this study, the effect of chronic administration of morphine on phasic and tonic pain was studied in morphine-dependent male and female rats in the presence and absence of gonads using formalin test. In addition, for evaluation of differences in dependency, withd...

Pinene is a family of bicyclic monoterpenes found in nature, which exhibits important applications in chemical industry and biomedicine; however, the discrimination methods used for pinene enantiomers are still rare. The alpha- and beta-pinene enantiomers were recognized and discriminated via an electrochemical method for the first time based on a cyclodextrin metal-organic framework (CD-MOF) a...

Herein is presented a strategy for the enantioseparation of amino acids enantiomers using β-CD functionalized Fe(3)O(4) nanospheres, in which β-CD provides the ability to chirally discriminate amino acids enantiomers, while the Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles serve as magnetic separators.

We explore the contribution of morphological features – both lexical and inflectional – to dependency parsing of Arabic, a morphologically rich language. Using controlled experiments, we find that definiteness, person, number, gender, and the undiacritzed lemma are most helpful for parsing on automatically tagged input. We further contrast the contribution of form-based and functional features,...

A new method for the isolation and enrichment of ofloxacin enantiomers from fish samples was developed using magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers (MMIPs). These polymers can be easily collected and rapidly separated using an external magnetic field, and also exhibit a high specific recognition for ofloxacin enantiomers. The preparation of amino-functionalized MMIPs was carried out via suspen...

Acebutolol (AC) is a chiral b-adrenergic blocking drug, which is useful clinically as the racemate in treating hypertension and is metabolized to an equipotent chiral metabolite, diacetolol (DC). In this paper we report a case of a 32 year old woman who was receiving AC during her pregnancy and lactating time for management of hypertension. The maternal plasma level and breast milk as well as c...

This research paper investigates the extent and seriousness of Instagram addiction social media dependency among young adults in Karnataka, India. The study utilized a cross-sectional survey design collected data from 511 participants aged 18 to 25 years. To assess addiction, researchers employed Social Media Dependency Scale (SMDS) Addiction (TIAS) respectively. Data analysis involved frequenc...
