Automatic knowledge extraction from such a very large document corpus as the Web is one of the hottest research topics in the domain of Artificial Intelligence and Database technologies. This chapter introduces my object-oriented and the existing methods to extract semantic (e.g., hyponymy and meronymy) and sensory (e.g., visual and aural) knowledge from the Web, and compares them by showing se...

Most legal traditions view individual ownership as paradigmatic. Yet most property is jointly owned. This paper analyzes how joint ownership affects alienability by focusing on two fundamental issues raised by joint ownership—the nature of the class of those who may benefit from a joint asset and the nature of the process for making decisions about such an asset. I identify four possible ways t...

Huntington's disease (HD) is caused by an expanded N-terminal glutamine tract that endows huntingtin with a striatal-selective structural property ultimately toxic to medium spiny neurons. In precise genetic models of juvenile HD, HdhQ92 and HdhQ111 knock-in mice, long polyglutamine segments change huntingtin's physical properties, producing HD-like in vivo correlates in the striatum, including...

Metric symmetries have always played a large role in the development of exact solutions to the Einstein field equations. Often a choice of metric symmetry is made based on an assumed symmetry of the matter distribution, i.e., spherical symmetry for astrophysical objects or cylindrical symmetry for a simple string. A homothetic motion ~homothety! describes the symmetry of scale transformations, ...

Traditional class-based object-oriented data models and programming languages do not allow an object to have several types or to play diierent roles while keeping the same identity. Therefore, the modeling of persistent evolving entities is a diicult task. Some speciic models and languages exist, but do not support some of the features of traditional OODB models such as inheritance, late bindin...

Despite the popularity of JavaScript for client-side web applications, there is a lack of effective software tools supporting JavaScript development and testing. The dynamic characteristics of JavaScript pose software engineering challenges such as program understanding and security. One important feature of JavaScript is that its objects support flexible mechanisms such as property changes at ...

enzyme electrophoresis was used to measure genetic variation within, and divergence among, three generations of recently bred synthetic alfalfa generations (syn1, syn2, and syn3) originating from a polycross of 12 selected parents and several cultivars. three isozyme loci, exhibiting tetrasomic inheritance in 10-day seedlings, were detected from five enzymatic systems analyzed by polyacryla...

The article reveals the peculiarities of formation and development legal regulation land relations in Galicia as a part Austria Austria-Hungary (1772–1918). It is noted that such was carried out on basis individual imperial patents, ministerial orders instructions, starting from 1861, decisions Galician Regional Diet were added to them. A separate complex normative act - code modern sense term,...

Can domain-general mechanisms explain the development of biological induction in young children? To answer this question, 43 five-year-olds were presented with a learning (rule discovery) task. The experiment included three between-subject learning conditions and consisted of the Learning and Transfer phases. During the Learning phase, participants received multiple feedback and no-feedback lea...

In this paper, the author examines relationship between Greek and Roman legal traditions through analysis of actio familiae erciscundae - a action seeking partition inheritance (division family property), which can be found both in Gortyn Law Code Twelve Tables. Several scientific research methods were used with comparative method being most represented one, due to nature subject at hand. Using...
