Few studies have examined the nature of microaggressions experienced by employees human service agencies. This exploratory study identified types that women and non-binary people color experience within their agency settings. Narrative data were collected using a web survey. The survey consisted two instruments, both developed researcher--a non-categorical demographic questionnaire asked partic...

Frame systems—the ancestors of Description Logics—supported a form of defeasible inheritance and overriding. Such nonmonotonic features disappeared from implementations after the logical reconstruction of frame systems, although applications provide interesting use cases for nonmonotonic inferences. This talk gives an overview of the nonmonotonic DLs introduced so far, and illustrates the many ...

Little is known about genetic variants that predispose individuals toward leanness or fatness. This minireview highlights recent advances in the study of human populations, animal models and synergistic efforts as described by De Luca and colleagues in BMC Genetics, which are beginning to harvest low-hanging fruit in the search for obesity genes.

Testing of the hypothesis that good precision-recall performance can be based entirely on proximity relationships is a focus of current TREC work at ANU. PADRE's \Z-mode" method (based on proximity spans) of scoring relevance has been shown to produce reasonable results for hand-crafted queries in the Adhoc section. It is capable of producing equally good results in database merging and routing...

A high-resolution X-ray structure of an aquaporin has revealed water molecules bound within the transmembrane pore and provided new clues to the mechanisms of rapid water transport and high selectivity in this important class of membrane proteins.

form the results of the first randomized study comparing conventional chemotherapy plus novel agents to tandem high-dose melphalan and ASCT in 402 newly diagnosed MM patients. At the time of the report, with a short follow up, there was no significant difference in OS between the two groups, but PFS was significantly improved in the early HDT arm. Two other ongoing trials, one conducted by the ...
