The problem of recognizing textual entailment (RTE) has been recently addressed using syntactic and lexical models with some success. Here, we further explore this problem, this time using the world knowledge captured in large semantic graphs such as WordNet. We show that semantic graphs made of synsets and selected relationships between them enable fairly simple methods that provide very compe...

Abstract Two approximate analytical expressions based on third degree polynomial and Akbari–Ganji’s method (AGM) were derived for the reaction/diffusion controlled kinetics of an immobilized enzyme ( $$IE$$ IE ) systems. The approximation methods predict substrate concentration profile ...

BACKGROUND Aerobic interval exercise training has greater benefits on cardiovascular function as compared with aerobic continuous exercise training. OBJECTIVE The present study aimed at analyzing the effects of both exercise modalities on acute and subacute hemodynamic responses of healthy rats. METHODS Thirty male rats were randomly assigned into three groups as follows: continuous exercis...

Despite consensus in focus on form (FOF) instruction over the facilitative role of noticing, controversy has not quelled over ways of directing EFL learners’ attention towards formal features via implicit techniques like input-enhancement or explicit metacognitive feedback and interactive peer-editing on the output they produce. This quasi-experimental study investigated the impact of input enh...

this work aimed to prepare a nanoemulsion preparation containing budesonide and assess its aerodynamic behavior in comparison with suspension of budesonide. in-vitro aerodynamic performance of the corresponding micellar solution (ie. nanoemulsion preparation without oil) was investigated too. nanoemulsions of almond oil containing budesonide, as a hydrophobic model drug molecule, were prepared ...

BACKGROUND Few population-based studies provide epidemiological data on infective endocarditis (IE). Aim of the study is to analyze incidence and outcomes of IE in the Veneto Region (North-Eastern Italy). METHODS Residents with a first hospitalization for IE in 2000-2008 were extracted from discharge data and linked to mortality records to estimate 365-days survival. Etiology was retrieved in...

One of the aims of Molecular Biology (MB) is the study of the molecules’ 3D structure. In silico experiments (ie. computing simulations) for 3D modeling usually use automatic approaches. However, these approaches have limits : important computing time, local modeling, 3D model generally fixed, etc. The contribution of expert knowledge, interactively during the automatic modeling process, can ov...

The protective effect of the aqueous extracts of Santolina pectinata (Lag.) aerial parts (Odorized aqueous extract (AE1) and Deodorized aqueous extract (AE2)) on the corrosion of mild steel (MS) in 1M HCl solution were tested by the weight loss (WL) analysis, potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. The inhibition efficiency (%IE) is highly ra...

today frakavshy methods in solving the exploitation of the reservoir, one of the issues of interest to researchers in the field of water resources management around the world, an important contribution to allocated. the field method proscribed by other methods than has been noted. in this article, the first stage selection procedure prohibited by the standard, a mechanism reply with probabilist...
