In this paper, we investigate cumulated clauses on a set of attributes consisting of concept descriptions of the description logic FLE . This kind of expression is useful for describing the attribute logic of contexts where the attributes can be seen as FLE concept descriptions. We provide a deduction calculus for this type of expressions and prove its soundness and completeness.

This paper describes the official measures of retrieval effectiveness employed in INEX 2005: the eXtended Cumulated Gain (XCG) measures. In addition, results of correlation analysis are reported, examining the correlation between the employed quantisation functions and the different measures for the INEX 2005 ad-hoc tasks.

Background: Radioiodine therapy has proven to be an effective method in the treatment of patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma after thyroidectomy. The scope of this study is to describe a method to obtain the dose of organs using medical internal radiation dosimetry (MIRD) method. At the end, the results of MIRD calculations were compared with thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD...

214 Turkey is settled at a crossroads of the earth’s continents, so migrations throughout the world, especially between Asia, Europe and Africa, have affected Turkey in numerous ways, including in the evolution of hemoglobin disorders. In the middle of the 1940s, many thalassemic patients and abnormal hemoglobins began to be diagnosed at Istanbul University, and the pioneering works of Prof. Ak...

To clarify whether exposure to 6° head-down tilt (HDT) leads to alterations in body fluid volumes and responses to a saline load similar to those observed during space flight we investigated eight healthy subjects during a 4-day, 6° HDT and during a time-control ambulatory period with cross-over. Compared with the ambulatory period, HDT was associated with greater urinary excretion of water and...

Research evaluation is increasingly popular and important among research funding bodies and science policy makers. Various indicators have been proposed to evaluate the standing of individual scientists, institutions, journals, or countries. A simple and popular one among the indicators is the h-index, the Hirsch index (Hirsch 2005), which is an indicator for lifetime achievement of a scholar. ...

We consider the problem of estimating the period of an unknown periodic function observed in additive Gaussian noise sampled at irregularly spaced time instants in a semiparametric setting. To solve this problem, we propose a novel estimator based on the cumulated Lomb-Scargle periodogram. We prove that this estimator is consistent, asymptotically Gaussian and we provide an explicit expression ...

For several weeks, three ponies kept in an environment with controlled light and temperature, were studied for behaviour (time spent in recumbency and time required to consume hay or oats) and for electrical activity of the brain (cortical and sub-cortical) during the night phase of the circadian rhythm. Recumbency was adopted by all the ponies for six or seven periods during the night. With a ...

Abstract Background/Introduction Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a widely used drug in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). It may cause cardiac alterations which includes short term arrhythmic events (via QT interval prolongation) and medium-late dose dependent cardiomyopathy1. The few research articles published on the effects of HCQ conduction disorder do not show relevant alterations. Purpose To...
