In this paper we propose a complete scheme for automatic exploitation of independent and-parallelism in CLP programs. We first discuss the new problems involved because of the different properties of the independence notions applicable to CLP. We then show how independence can be derived from a number of standard analysis domains for CLP. Finally, we perform a preliminary evaluation of the effi...

OBJECTIVES To establish a Community-Based Model for Speech Therapy in Thailand and to implement it. MATERIALS AND METHOD The development of a Community-Based Model for Speech Therapy was based on the principles of primary healthcare, community-based rehabilitation and institutional sharing. Workshops for speech and language pathologists (SLPs), including "Training for Trainers" and six "Smart...

In order to understand the transcriptional mechanism that underlies cell protection to stress, we evaluated the role of CLP-1, a known inhibitor of the transcription elongation complex (pTEFb), in CLP-1 +/- mice hearts. Using the isolated heart model, we observed that the CLP-1 +/- hearts, when subjected to ischaemic stress and evaluated by haemodynamic measurements, exhibit significant cardiop...

Two new classes of theories have been developed giving the expected complexities of three ConsistentLabeling Problem (CLP), or Constraint-Satisfaction, algorithms: Backtracking, Forward Checking and Word-wise Forward Checking. Apart from giving the exact expected complexity for these algorithms for the underlying CLP distribution and domain, these theories provide useful approximations for the ...

As part of Alvey project IKBS 90, a software architecture has been developed that couples a concurrent logic programming or CLP engine with a multi-threaded Prolog engine. Concurrency among mutually invoking Prolog and CLP computations is sustained partly through and-parallel execution of CLP computations on the CLP engine, and partly by executing multiple Prolog processes and a CLP engine unde...

In Datalog, missing values are represented by Skolem constants. More generally, in logic programming missing values, or existentially­ quantified variables, are represented by terms built from Skolem functors. In an analogy to probabilistic relational models (PRMs), we wish to represent the joint probability distribution over missing values in a database or logic program us­ ing a Bayesian netw...

Abstract Cleft lip and palate (CLP) are conditions that require long-term management review from infancy to adolescence. Surgical procedures become easier when nasoalveolar moulding (NAM) measures applied during the neonatal period. Orthodontic treatment provided for these patients progressive dentition developmental periods can achieve positive aesthetic functional results. In affected by a CL...

5-Lipoxygenase (5LO) is a key enzyme in leukotriene (LT) biosynthesis. Two accessory proteins, coactosin-like protein (CLP) and 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP), can support 5LO activity. To study the roles of CLP and FLAP, we knocked down these proteins in the human monocytic cell line Mono Mac 6 (MM6). Expression of CLP increased MM6 cellular 5LO activity for all stimuli tested. CLP i...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of levosimendan on rodent septic shock induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). METHODS Three hours after peritonitis-induced sepsis, male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to receive an intravenous infusion of levosimendan (1.2 μg/kg/min for 10 min and then 0.3 μg/kg/min for 6 h) or an equivalent volume of saline and veh...
