This paper describes our participation in the Entity List Completion (ELC) task at Entity track 2011. Our approach combined the work done for the Related Entity Finding 2010 task with some new criteria as the proximity or the similarity between a candidate answer with the correct answers given as examples or their cooccurrences.

Compliance with the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) has been hampered by the lack of implementation details. This article argues that IT departments that have implemented ten categories of IT controls provided by the International Standards Organization (ISO 17799) will be well on their way toward SOX compliance. A side-by-side comparison of the 124 control components of the ISO Standard and t...

BACKGROUND Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) plays an important role in plant virus infection as well as the regulation of gene translation. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here, we describe the isolation of a cDNA encoding CmeIF(iso)4E (GenBank accession no. JQ904592), an isoform of eIF4E from chrysanthemum, using RACE PCR. We used the CmeIF(iso)4E cDNA for expression profil...

β-Adrenergic receptor (β-AR) stimulation increases extracellular ubiquitin (UB) levels, and extracellular UB inhibits β-AR-stimulated apoptosis in adult cardiac myocytes. This study investigates the role of exogenous UB in chronic β-AR-stimulated myocardial remodeling. l-Isoproterenol (ISO; 400 μg·kg(-1)·h(-1)) was infused in mice in the presence or absence of UB (1 μg·g(-1)·h(-1)). Left ventri...

The aim of this paper is to describe existing ISO standards and current activity concerned with thermal comfort. It describes how an ISO standard is produced from a new work item proposal (NP) to publication as an international standard (ISO). A framework is provided for the assessment of ISO standards and their revisions. Standards should be valid, reliable, useable, and with sufficient scope ...

Objective(s) Several studies have reported improved response of exercised hearts to myocardial infarction (MI). This study was aimed to evaluate the preventive role of treadmill exercise and diosgenin on cardiac marker enzymes, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), total antioxidant status (TAS), lipids, and electrocardiographic (ECG) patterns in isoproterenol (ISO)-induced myocardia...

We investigated the prevalence of seed borne fungal pathogens in rice variety BRRI Dhan46 and to evaluate the efficacy of antagonistic bacteria in controlling seed borne disease. A composite sample of BRRI Dhan46 was assayed. Five seed borne fungi viz. Fusarium sp., Bipolaris oryzae, Curvularia sp., Gliocladium sp. and Aspergillus flavus were isolated from the rice seeds. Fifteen probable antag...
