1 I n t r o d u c t i o n In [8] we have proposed a logic p rog ramming language which suppor ts hypothe t ical updates together with integrity constraints. The language, called CondLP (Conditional Logic Programming), is an extension of N_Prolog [10, 7]. As in N_Prolog and in other similar logic p rog ramming languages [16, 15], Horn clause logic is extended to allow embedded implications bo th...

The molecular mechanisms underlying hypothermic neuroprotection have yet to be fully elucidated. Herein we demonstrate that global SUMOylation, a form of post-translational modification with the Small Ubiquitin-like MOdifer, participates in the multimodal molecular induction of hypothermia-induced ischemic tolerance. Mild (32°C) to moderate (28°C) hypothermic treatment(s) during OGD (oxygen-glu...

Debra Rog and John Buckner report that since the mid-1990s, there has been continued research and policy interest in understanding the characteristics and needs of families and children who become homeless, especially in understanding the heterogeneity within the population and whether a “typology” of families can be created (i.e., distinguishing families with greater needs for services and hou...

This article reports the results of a qualitative study conducted in two villages of Matlab to explore the cultural dimensions of depression. Participants included adult men and women with and without a history of depressive episode (n=42), formal and informal healthcare providers (n=6), and caregivers (n=2). Adults (n=10) with a history of depressive episode were selected from a 2005 survey co...

Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) results from the oxidation of reactive organic gases (ROGs) and is an indoor particle source. The aerosol mass fraction (AMF), a.k.a. SOA yield, quantifies the SOA forming potential of ROGs and is the ratio of generated SOA to oxidized ROG. The AMF depends on the organic aerosol concentration, as well as the prevalence of later generation reactions. AMFs have bee...

In applied econometrics, theory generally determines the appropriate lag of each independent (i.e., predictor) variable in a time series regression model. But, how does one determine the lag structure of each predictor variable without theory? Various schemes exist, but—without theory--variable-by-variable lag selection can be a daunting task that usually results in a timeintensive, “trial and ...

The Gene Ontology (GO) currently contains over 40,000 terms describing the locations, activities and processes of gene products. Several millions of gene products have been annotated using the GO, and these annotations are routinely used for multiple applications. However, because of the di↵erence of granularity in the annotations, it is useful to summarize GO annotations using GO slims. GO sli...

Ultra-dense networks (UDNs) have been employed to solve the pressing problems in relation increasing demand for higher coverage and capacity of fifth generation (5G) wireless networks. The deployment UDNs a very large scale has envisioned break fundamental deadlocks beyond 5G or sixth (6G) deliver many more orders magnitude gains that today’s technologies achieve. However, mathematical tool opt...
