UriGraph is a Web site structure model that specifies identity, identifier, position and composition of each resource constituting the Web site. This paper presents the application of resources identifier model (a subset of UriGraph) to Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) design. The URI technology is essential to the Web, and exposure of URIs to the user makes it a major – although often overloo...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the immunological responses and the association between variation in exercise load and self-reported occurrence of upper respiratory illness (URI) symptoms in young basketball athletes. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample was composed of twelve young male athletes aged 12.7 ± 0.6 years, with a height of 170 ± 10 cm, body mass of 57.6 ± 12.6 kg, ...

When a Semantic Web application encounters a new URI in an RDF statement, how should it determine what resource that URI is intended to denote, and learn more about it? Since assertions are the currency of Semantic Web applications, in practical terms this question can be viewed as asking: What additional assertions should be used if the application wishes to learn more about the URI's denoted ...

BACKGROUND Use of laryngeal mask airways (LMAs) has been advocated for children with upper respiratory tract infection (URI). However, no randomized trial has yet compared intravenous corticosteroids versus placebo in these patients. OBJECTIVES We hypothesized the lower incidence of postoperative cough (as the primary outcome) with intravenous corticosteroid versus placebo in pediatric patien...

BACKGROUND Otherwise healthy children who present for elective surgery with an upper respiratory infection (URI) may be at risk for perioperative respiratory complications. This risk may be increased in children with congenital heart disease who undergo cardiac surgery while harboring a URI because of their compromised cardiopulmonary status. Therefore, this study was designed to determine the ...

In this paper we argue for using hashed URIs to represent RDF content. These URIs are generated by serializing the RDF facts which describe an Object, computing the hash of that serialization, and then using the computed hash as the Object’s URI. In this way, the hashed URI serves both as a short-hand notation for all the facts which describe it and as proof that the facts have not changed. Thi...

Abrogation of negative feedback control represents a fundamental requirement for aberrantly activated signaling pathways to promote malignant transformation and resistance to therapy. Here we identify URI, which encodes a mitochondrial inhibitor of PP1γ and PP1γ-mediated feedback inhibition of S6K1-BAD survival signaling, as an oncogene amplified and overexpressed in ovarian cancer cell lines a...

The viral etiology of frequently recurring respiratory tract infection (FRRI) in children aged <2 years was studied. Altogether, 329 children were followed from 2 to 24 months of age in the Finnish Otitis Media Cohort Study. Children with FRRI were defined as having > or =9 episodes of upper respiratory tract infection (URI) and/or > or =4 episodes of acute otitis media during follow-up. Nasoph...

T h e antibodies that are p roduced in man as a result of specific vaccination or infectious disease comprise only a small propor t ion o f the bulk o f the IgG molecules circulating in the blood. T h e immunity towards these antigens is a t t r ibuted mostly to a relatively high n u m b er o f memory cells and a low titer o f synthesized antibodies. In view of kinetic studies o f ant ibody pro...
