In this paper we present the methodology of data collection and implementation of databases for the creation of extensive lexical and terminological resources for the Greek Sign Language (GSL) in order to introduce the major issue of dynamic sign representation. In respect to electronic linguistic resources of GSL, the focus is on issues of validation of linguistic content, multipurpose design ...

We developed a sensitive method for detection of glycosphingolipid (GSL) antigen(s) on the cell surface. As a model of GSL antigen, ganglioside GD3 was used. An IgM monoclonal antibody (DSG-1) specific for ganglioside GD3 was preincubated with standard inhibitor liposomes containing ganglioside GD3. Then carboxyfluorescein-entrapped indicator liposomes containing ganglioside GD3 and complement ...

Since a number of anti-glycosphingolipid (GSL) antibody activities have been demonstrated in patients with various neurological disorders, the presence of common antigens between brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) and the nervous tissues presents a potential mechanism for the penetration of macromolecules from the circulation to the nervous system parenchyma. We first investigated GS...

Invasion is a complex process controlled by secretion and activation of proteases, alteration of integrin levels and GSL (glycosphingolipid) patterns. Differential organization of GSLs with specific membrane proteins and signal transducers in GEMs (GSL-enriched microdomains), initiates signalling events to modify cellular phenotype. Although the GSL monosialyl-Gb5 has been linked with invasion,...

Abrial’s Generalised Substitution Language (GSL) [4] can be modified to operate on arithmetic expressions, rather than Boolean predicates, which allows it to be applied to probabilistic programs [13]. We add a new operator p⊕ to GSL, for probabilistic choice, and we get the probabilistic Generalised Substitution Language (pGSL): a smooth extension of GSL that includes random algorithms within i...

this paper reports results from a corpus-based study that explored the frequency of words in the abstracts of applied linguistics journal articles. the abstracts of major articles in leading applied linguists journals, published since 2005 up to november 2001 were analyzed using software modules from the compleat lexical tutor. the output includes a list of the most frequent content words, list...

North Atlantic right whales Eubalaena glacialis are most commonly observed along the eastern seaboard of America; however, their distribution and occupancy patterns have become less predictable in last decade. This study explored individual captured photographically from both dedicated opportunistic sources 2015 to 2019 Gulf St. Lawrence (GSL), an area previously understudied for whale presence...

Robot learning in simulation is a promising alternative to the prohibitive sample cost of learning in the physical world. Unfortunately, policies learned in simulation often perform worse than hand-coded policies when applied on the physical robot. Grounded simulation learning (GSL) promises to address this issue by altering the simulator to better match the real world. This paper proposes a ne...

Members of the glucan synthase-like (GSL) family are believed to be involved in synthesis of the cell-wall component callose in specialized locations throughout the plant. We identified two members of the Arabidopsis GSL gene family, GSL8 and GSL10, that are independently required for male gametophyte development and plant growth. Analysis of gsl8 and gsl10 mutant pollen during development reve...
