Devising a scheme for efficient and scalable querying of Resource Description Framework (RDF) data has been an active area of current research. However, most approaches define new languages for querying RDF data, which has the following shortcomings: 1) They are difficult to integrate with SQL queries used in database applications, and 2) They incur inefficiency as data has to be transformed fr...

Platelets play a critical role in the pathophysiology of atherothrombotic disease. A pivotal event contributing to the understanding of platelet-dependent clot formation was the development of the platelet aggregometer in 1962.1 An aggregometer specifically measures the ability of platelets to adhere via glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (integrin IIb 3), and thousands of articles using this technique have...

This study aimed to explore the function and frequency of textual metadiscourse markers (MDMs) in scientific English and Persian texts. Based on the qualitative and quantitative analysis of textual markers characterizing the selected genre, four different textbooks, two written in English and two in Persian were analyzed to identify the textual metadiscourse categories (including logical marker...

The Latitude Density Search utilized the Hyper Suprime-Cam on Subaru Telescope to discover 60 moving objects in outer solar system, 54 of which have semimajor axes beyond 30 au. images were acquired exceptional seeing (04) and reached a detection limit mr ≃ 25.2. two night arcs used calculate orbits that are poorly constrained; however, distance inclination parameters best constrained by short ...

The portfolio optimization is one of the fundamental problems in asset management that aims to reduce the risk of an investment by diversifying it into assets expected to fluctuate independently. A portfolio is a grouping of financial assets such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies and cash equivalents, as well as their funds counterparts, including mutual, exchange- traded and closed fun...

The quotes in (3) and (4) mention the quoted expression without using them. We can analyze these quotes as simply denoting the quoted expressions, which have properties such as having eight letters and being said by Quine. In contrast, the embedded clause in (5) is a quote only in that it uses—not mentions—the expression quotation has a certain anomalous feature to express a proposition attribu...
