This paper addresses the problem of the identification of the semantic relations in Italian complex nominals (CNs) of the type N+P+N. We exploit the fact that the semantic relation, which is underspecified in most cases, is partially made explicit by the preposition. We develop an annotation framework around five different semantic relations, which we use to create a corpus of 1700 Italian CNs,...

DNA extracted from these bones was used to generate a draft sequence of the Neandertal genome, which was then compared to the genomes of fi ve present-day humans.

The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of a broad-spectrum protease enzyme, PWD-1 keratinase, upon supplementation to corn-soy starter diets on growth performance of broiler chickens. Three experiments were conducted. In each experiment, 1-d-old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 24 cage pens of eight birds per pen in a completely randomized design of five experimental ...

In the previous lectures, our set-up was as follows. We had a set X of elements and a distribution P over the set X × {0, 1}. The distribution defines the probability (or density) for each element x ∈ X to “come up”, and the probability for a certain property of x to hold or not to hold. If (x, 1) “comes up,” then x has the property, and if (x, 0) “comes up,” then x does not have the property. ...

In the March issue of Diabetes, there is a very interesting article by Jurczak et al. (1) about glucose homeostasis and b-cell function in mice with a deletion in SGLT-2. There is also an accompanying editorial by Ferrannini (2) that is appropriately laudatory to the article but there are some extraordinary comments including, “Collectively, these findings prove that reduced SGLT-2 activity—whe...

In Chile, office buildings are typically reinforced concrete (RC) structures whose lateral load-resisting system comprises core structural walls and perimeter moment frames (i.e., dual wall-frame system). the last 20 years, nearly 800 new have been built in country roughly 70% of them less than ten stories. Although seismic performance these was deemed satisfactory previous earthquakes, their a...
