PROV is a specification, promoted by the World Wide Web consortium, for recording the provenance of web resources. It includes a schema, consistency constraints and inference rules on the schema, and a language for recording provenance facts. In this paper we describe a implementation of PROV that is based on the DLV Datalog engine. We argue that the deductive databases paradigm, which underpin...

Identification of reliable predictive biomarkers and new therapeutic targets is a critical step for significant improvement in patient outcomes. Here, we developed a multi-step bioinformatics analytic strategy to mine large omics and clinical data to build a prognostic scoring system for predicting the overall survival (OS) of lung adenocarcinoma (LuADC) patients. In latter we first identified ...

A market basket survey for beef retail cut composition at the retail level (four stores each from two chains in each city) was conducted in 11 US cities from January to March 2006. Beef cuts (n=17,495) were measured for external fat thickness with cuts from the chuck (0.05cm), round (0.05cm), and miscellaneous (0.04cm) having less (P<0.05) fat than cuts from the loin (0.11cm) and rib (0.11cm). ...

O R IG IN AL PPER Abstract Optical frequency combs enable precision measurements in fundamental physics and have been applied to a growing number of applications, such as molecular spectroscopy, LIDAR and atmospheric trace-gas sensing. In recent years, the generation of frequency combs has been demonstrated in integrated microresonators. Extending their spectral range to the visible is generall...

We present a sample of 1777 bright (9 < B < 14) metal-poor candidates selected from the Hamburg/ESO Survey (HES). Despite saturation effects present in the red portion of the HES objectiveprism spectra, the data were recoverable and quantitative selection criteria could be applied to select the sample. Analyses of medium-resolution (∼ 2 Å) follow-up spectroscopy of the entire sample, obtained w...

2014 Two models are proposed to solve the sodium nitrate structure near the order-disorder phase transition (Tc = 276 °C). The first model is built with the static disorder assumption between the two equilibrium positions of NO-3 ions. In this case, disorder is characterized by an order parameter : ~. For the second model, a onedimensional orientational probability function is introduced to tak...

Several arthropod-borne viruses were grouped on the basis of relative stability to lipid solvents and sodium deoxycholate, lability at pH 3"o, and lack of antigenic relationship to major arbovirus serologic groups A, B, and Bunyamwera. These viruses, previously ungrouped or in minor serogroups, include bluetongue, epizootic haemorrhagic disease of deer, Eubenangee, IbAr 22619, B 1327, Colorado ...

Among 18 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) oxidase homologous genes existing in the banana genome there are two genes, Mh-ACO1 and Mh-ACO2, that participate in banana fruit ripening. To better understand the physiological functions of Mh-ACO1 and Mh-ACO2, two hairpin-type siRNA expression vectors targeting both the Mh-ACO1 and Mh-ACO2 were constructed and incorporated into the banana ...

OBJECTIVE To estimate out-of-pocket costs and the incidence of catastrophic health expenditure in people admitted to hospital with acute coronary syndromes in Asia. METHODS Participants were enrolled between June 2011 and May 2012 into this observational study in China, India, Malaysia, Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam. Sites were required to enrol a minimum of 10 consecuti...
