anionic dbs surfactant can be photodegraded in a tio2 dispersion and h2o2 solution under an hg-lamp (15 w) uv illumination or solar exposure. degradation process has been monitored through cleavage of aromatic moiety. degradation of the detergent was small when the photolysis was carried out in the absence of tio2 and h2o2 and it was negligible in the absence of light. most of the curves repres...

Perfusion with high millimolar levels of taurine evoked a long-lasting potentiation (LLP-TAU) of synaptic transmission in the Schaffer-collateral CA1 region of the rat hippocampus. Although LLP-TAU showed some correlations to increases in the total taurine content of hippocampal slices, it could not be blocked by the taurine transport inhibitor guanidinoethanesulfonic acid (GES), which was able...

In this paper, we first set out a method for describing the age and spatial structures of interregional migration in Italy over time using the parameters of a saturated log-linear model. Second, we use this information and the log-linear model to project these structures forward based on a set of assumptions about the overall, main effect, and interaction parameters. These two sections of the p...

OBJECTIVE Using traditional approaches, a brain-computer interface (BCI) requires the collection of calibration data for new subjects prior to online use. Calibration time can be reduced or eliminated e.g., by subject-to-subject transfer of a pre-trained classifier or unsupervised adaptive classification methods which learn from scratch and adapt over time. While such heuristics work well in pr...

There have been several proposals for logic programming language based on linear logic: Lolli [6], Lygon [5], LO [3], LinLog [2], Forum [8]. In addition, BinProlog allows the use of linear implications of affine logic (a variant of linear logic) [12, 13]. In these languages, it is possible to create and consume resources dynamically as logical formulas. The efficient handling of resource formul...

Local propositions arise in the context of the semantics for logics of knowledge in multi-agent systems. A proposition is local to an agent when it depends only on that agent’s local state. We consider a logic, LLP, that extends S5, the modal logic of necessity (in which the modality refers to truth at all worlds) by adding a quantifier ranging over the set of all propositions and, for each age...

Appositions are adjacent NPs used to add information to a discourse. We propose systems exploiting syntactic and semantic constraints to extract appositions from OntoNotes. Our joint log-linear model outperforms the state-of-the-art Favre and Hakkani-Tür (2009) model by ∼10% on Broadcast News, and achieves 54.3% Fscore on multiple genres.
