The scale-dependent bias effect on the galaxy power spectrum is a very promising probe of local primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) parameter $f_{\rm NL}$, but amplitude proportional to NL}b_{\phi}$, where $b_{\phi}$ linear PNG parameter. Our knowledge currently limited, yet nearly all existing NL}$ constraints and forecasts assume precise for it. Here, we use BOSS DR12 illustrate how our uncertai...

We use a latent difference score (LDS) model to examine changes in young children's number-line (NL) error signatures (errors marking numbers on a NL) over 18 months. A LDS model (1) overcomes some of the inference limitations of analytic models used in previous research, and in particular (2) provides a more reliable test of hypotheses about the meaning and significance of changes in NL error ...

Many-body theory is developed to calculate the γ spectra for positron annihilation in noble-gas atoms. Inclusion of electron-positron correlation effects and core annihilation gives spectra in excellent agreement with experiment [K. Iwata et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 39 (1997)]. The calculated correlation enhancement factors γ_{nl} for individual electron orbitals nl are found to scale with the...

background: considering that establishment of reference value of nuchal translucency (nt)-related to the crown rump length (crl) during the first trimester will be helpful for determining an appropriate cutoff level for  screening of increased nt thickness-related abnormalities, we determined the nt thickness and investigated its relation with diff erent chromosomal and nonchromosomal abnormali...

In modern software engineering practice, the ability to specify ambiguity less software requirements in a natural language (NL) in a seamless way is highly valuable and desirable. Though, the software requirements are typically captured in natural languages (NL) such as English, there is a very high probability that more than half NL requirements can be ambiguous. For example, Mich identified t...

Third-order auditory neurons in the avian nucleus laminaris (NL) are the first to receive binaural input. In the chick, NL consists of a monolayer of neurons with polarized dendritic arbors oriented dorsally and ventrally. Afferents from second-order neurons in the ipsilateral nucleus magnocellularis (NM) innervate the dorsal dendrites of NL neurons, distributing processes of approximately equa...

INTRODUCTION Previous studies have shown that hormonal factors such as levels of insulin, cortisol, testosterone, and insulin resistance are related with increased nephrolithiasis (NL). However, no previous study has evaluated the relationship between insulin, insulin resistance, thyroid hormones, cortisol, intact parathyroid hormone and testosterone levels with the presence of NL in a comprehe...

Mammalian interphase chromosomes interact with the nuclear lamina (NL) through hundreds of large lamina-associated domains (LADs). We report a method to map NL contacts genome-wide in single human cells. Analysis of nearly 400 maps reveals a core architecture consisting of gene-poor LADs that contact the NL with high cell-to-cell consistency, interspersed by LADs with more variable NL interacti...

We do not know how humans reason, whether they reason using natural language (NL) or not and we are not interested in proving or disproving such a proposition. Nonetheless, it seems that a very expressive transparent medium humans communicate with, state their problems in and justify how they solve these problems is NL. Hence, we wished to use NL as a Knowledge Representation(KR) in NL knowledg...

In this paper, we present a novel approach to generate Alloy code from Natural Language (NL) constraints. The proposed research is basically an extension of two projects, NL2OCL and UML2Alloy.Our method uses Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Model Transformation (MT) to transform constraints expressed in NL to Alloy. We do not directly transform NL to Alloy, instead we use multiple intermed...
