Informal language is actively used in network-mediated communication, e.g. chat room, BBS, email and text message. We refer the anomalous terms used in such context as network informal language (NIL) expressions. For example, “ (ou3)” is used to replace “ (wo3)” in Chinese ICQ. Without unconventional resource, knowledge and techniques, the existing natural language processing approaches exhibit...

Water and sediment samples were collected from six different stations, located along the Nil River between February and June 2015. Concentrations of cadmium, lead, zinc, and copper were determined. The extent of the sediment pollution was assessed, using the multiple pollution indices, namely contamination factor (CF), pollution load index (PLI), and the geoaccumulation index (Igeo). The result...

Network Informal Language (NIL) refers to the special human language widely used in the community of digital network chat via platforms such as chat rooms/tools, mobile phone short message services (SMS), bulletin board systems (BBS), emails, etc. NIL holds anomalous characteristics in forming words, phrases, and non-alphabetical characters. This makes it difficult to handle NIL text by convent...

We describe a peculiar type of spontaneous synchronization in a transmission line studded with nonlinear oscillators. After a transient period of complicated interactions, the elements form strongly synchronized pairs with interactions between these pairs virtually nil. The creation of these “dynamical dimers” appears to stem from the coupling intrinsic to transmission lines rather than any spe...

Chylothorax is a rare postoperative complication of a thoracic surgical procedure. Here, we report a case of chylothorax after thoracic endovascular aortic repair with debranching for the distal arch aneurysm of the aorta. First, the patient was treated by a medical method (nil per os, fat-free diet, and octreotide), but this method failed. The patient strongly refused surgical treatment. There...

The synthesis of proteins with affinity for DNA has been studied in clones of a Syrian hamster cell line (NIL) and subclones of this line transformed by polyoma virus (NIL-Py) or hamster sarcoma virus (NIL-HSV). The results show that the synthesis of DNA-binding proteins in NIL and in its virus-transformed derivatives NIL-Py and NIL-HSV is very similar in exponentially growing cells, but in den...

We investigate the structure of locally finite profinite rings. We classify (Jacobson-) semisimple locally finite profinite rings as products of complete matrix rings of bounded cardinality over finite fields, and we prove that the Jacobson radical of any locally finite profinite ring is nil of finite nilexponent. Our results apply to the context of small compact G-rings, where we also obtain a...

background: all the three nitric oxide synthase (nos) isoforms are presented in the kidney. some data provided evidences that enos activity leads to restoration of renal function after injury, but activation of inos aggravates renal failure. in the present study, we investigated that whether in gentamicin-induced renal failure selective inos blockade is beneficial. materials and methods: four g...

D. Davis and W. C. Follette (2002) purport to show that when "the base rate" for a crime is low, the probative value of "characteristics known to be strongly associated with the crime ... will be virtually nil." Their analysis rests on the choice of an arbitrary and inopposite measure of the probative value of evidence. When a more suitable metric is used (e.g., a likelihood ratio), it becomes ...

ion Rules I Q ∗ lseg(E , x ′) ∗ lseg(x ′, nil) → Q ∗ lseg(E , nil) I side condition: x ′ not free in Q. I side condition for precision, not soundness: stops abstraction when x ′ is shared. x 7→x ′ ∗ lseg(E , x ′) ∗ lseg(x ′, nil) 6→ Q ∗ lseg(E , nil)
