Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) is an important task since it benefits a wide range of natural language processing applications. Given a sentence, the task of SRL is to identify arguments for a predicate (target verb or noun) and assign semantically meaningful labels to them. Dependency parsing based methods have achieved much success in SRL. However, due to errors in dependency parsing, there rem...

The statistical resolution limit (SRL), which is defined as the minimal separation between parameters to allow a correct resolvability, is an important statistical tool to quantify the ultimate performance for parametric estimation problems. In this article, we generalize the concept of the SRL to the multidimensional SRL (MSRL) applied to the multidimensional harmonic retrieval model. In this ...

End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is an ever increasing problem worldwide. However the mechanisms underlying disease progression are not fully elucidated. This work addressed nephrotoxicity induced by the immunosuppressive agents' cyclosporine A (CsA) and sirolimus (SRL). Nephrotoxicity is the major limiting factor in long term use of CsA. SRL causes less nephrotoxicity than CsA. Therefore investi...

BACKGROUND Sirolimus (SRL) has been associated with new-onset diabetes mellitus after transplantation. The aim was to determine the effect of SRL on development of insulin resistance and β -cell toxicity. METHODS Lean Zucker rat (LZR) and obese Zucker rat (OZR) were distributed into groups: vehicle and SRL (0.25, 0.5, or 1.0 mg/kg) during 12 or 28 days. Intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test ...

Crowdsourcing has proven to be an effective method for generating labeled data for a range of NLP tasks. However, multiple recent attempts of using crowdsourcing to generate gold-labeled training data for semantic role labeling (SRL) reported only modest results, indicating that SRL is perhaps too difficult a task to be effectively crowdsourced. In this paper, we postulate that while producing ...

Recent years have seen a growing interest in the development of selfregulated learning (SRL) models in computer-based environments and intelligent tutoring systems. In this paper, we explore SRL by investigating student monitoring, just one of many SRL components. We utilize an inductive approach to automatically construct models of student monitoring judgments from observations of student beha...

Protocols of conversion from cyclosporin A (CsA) to sirolimus (SRL) have been widely used in immunotherapy after transplantation to prevent CsA-induced nephropathy, but the molecular mechanisms underlying these protocols remain nuclear. This study aimed to identify the molecular pathways and putative biomarkers of CsA-to-SRL conversion in a rat model. Four animal groups (n = 6) were tested duri...

Sirolimus (SRL) and everolimus (EVR) are mammalian targets of rapamycin inhibitors (mTOR-I) largely employed in renal transplantation and oncology as immunosuppressive/antiproliferative agents. SRL was the first mTOR-I produced by the bacterium Streptomyces hygroscopicus and approved for several medical purposes. EVR, derived from SRL, contains a 2-hydroxy-ethyl chain in the 40th position that ...

Self-regulated learning (SRL) can be fostered by teachers' behaviour and feedback and by the creation of suitable learning environments. This paper tackles the problem of how to develop attitudes and competences enabling teachers to act in support of their students' SRL. To this end, teachers should be aware of their own self-regulation of both learning and teaching behaviour, so as to cope fle...

Most computational approaches to metaphor have focused on discerning between metaphorical and literal text. Recent work on computational metaphor identification (CMI) instead seeks to identify overarching conceptual metaphors by mapping selectional preferences between source and target corpora. This paper explores using semantic role labeling (SRL) in CMI. Its goals are two-fold: first, to demo...
