BACKGROUND Distributed Research Infrastructures are gaining political traction in Europe to facilitate scientific research. This development has gained particular momentum in the area of biobanking where cross-national attempts have been made toward harmonizing the biobanking standards across the European Union through the establishment of the organization BBMRI (BioBanking and Biomolecular Res...

We have obtained draft genomic sequences of PD (partial denitrificant) and CD (complete denitrificant) strains of Thermus thermophilus. Their genomes are similar in size to that of the aerobic strains sequenced to date and probably contain a similar megaplasmid. In the CD strain, the genes encoding a putative cytochrome cd1 Nir (nitrite reductase) and ancillary proteins were clustered with a cy...

Narratives play a pivotal role in solving complex problems, as they provide an interpretive framework for facilitating the solution to given challenge. We presume that if basis of narrative applied problem is incorrect, interpretation will also be distorted. Therefore, solutions are primarily low-efficiency nature demand new or “rframed” narratives. examine this premise through case United King...

Computational semantics and logic-based controlled natural languages (CNL) do not address systematically the word sense disambiguation problem of content words, i.e., they tend to interpret only some functional words that are crucial for construction of discourse representation structures. We show that micro-ontologies and multi-word units allow integration of the rich and polysemous multi-doma...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to illuminate the meanings of support as disclosed by mothers of children with congenital heart defects (CHD). DESIGN AND METHOD Narrative interviews were conducted with 10 mothers of children with CHD. A phenomenological-hermeneutic method was used for interpretation of the transcribed interviews. RESULTS The comprehensive understanding of mothers' liv...

Both the domain and sublanguage specific approach to text analysis and information extraction is proposed. Texts under consideration are weather forecast telegrams written in Russian. Telegrams are an example of deviant text type, with lack of text segmentation means, a lot of abbreviations, syntactic and spelling mistakes. The presented work pursues the problem of text segmentation: a procedur...

The United States has experienced rapid growth of the Asian American population in the last decade. People of mixed ancestry are a significant proportion of Asian America. Little is known about the health beliefs and health practices of this extremely diverse population. Thirteen older racially mixed Asian Americans, ranging in age from 48-94, were interviewed in a qualitative study that includ...
