Dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDL) is a histologically pleomorphic sarcoma, traditionally defined as well-differentiated liposarcoma with abrupt transition to high grade, non-lipogenic sarcoma. It can occur as part of recurrent well-differentiated liposarcoma, or may arise de novo. DDL most frequently occurs within the retroperitoneum, and while it is prone to local recurrence, it usually has a...

The Data Access System (DAS) is a metadata and data management software system, providing a reusable solution for the storage of data acquired both from telescopes and auxiliary data sources during the instrument development phases and operations. It is part of the Customizable Instrument WorkStation system (CIWS-FW), a framework for the storage, processing and quick-look at the data acquired f...

In [DDL] we defined a class of non-compact polygonal billiards, the infinite step billiards: to a given sequence of non-negative numbers {pn}n∈N, such that pn ց 0, there corresponds a table P := ⋃ n∈N[n, n+ 1]× [0, pn]. In this article, first we generalize the main result of [DDL] to a wider class of examples. That is, a.s. there is a unique escape orbit which belongs to the αand ω-limit of eve...

Abstract Corpus tools are known to be effective in helping L2 learners improve their writing, especially regarding use of words. Most corpus-based writing research has focused on university students while little attention been paid secondary school students. This study investigated whether senior China, upon receiving training under the framework data-driven learning (DDL), could vocabulary use...

Multiple distributed and modular ontology representation frameworks have recently appeared. They typically extend Description Logics (DL), with new constructs to represent relations between entities across several ontologies. Three kinds of constructs appear in the literature: link properties, found in E-connections, semantic mapping, found in Distributed Description Logics (DDL), and semantic ...

Modular ontology languages, such as Distributed Description Logics (DDL), E-connections and Package-based Description Logics (P-DL) offer two broad classes of approaches to connect multiple ontology modules: the use of mappings or linkings between ontology modules e.g., DDL and E-connections; and the use of importing e.g., P-DL. The major difference between the two approaches is on the usage of...

Phosphoprotein-binding domains are found in many different proteins and specify protein-protein interactions critical for signal transduction pathways. Forkhead-associated (FHA) domains bind phosphothreonine and control many aspects of cell proliferation in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and animal cells. The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) protein kinase-associated protein phosphatase inc...
