The Grammar Tool Box is a toolset for manipulating Context Free Grammars and objects associated with them such as parsers, languages and derivations. GTB has three main rôles: as a pedagogic tool; as an experimental platform for novel algorithms and representations; and as a production tool for translator front end generation. In this paper we give an overview of GTB and its companion Javabased...

As a transcriptional promoter in primary cultures of sensory ganglionic neurons, DNA sequences near the 5' terminus of the latency-related (LR) gene of bovine herpesvirus 1 were at least 10 times more efficient than the simian virus 40 early promoter-enhancer. In contrast, as a promoter in bovine, rodent, or monkey cells, the LR promoter was approximately six times less efficient than the simia...

The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of patients with multiple hepatocellular carcinoma (HCCs) after liver resection (LR) versus liver transplantation (LT). Patients who had multiple HCCs without macrovascular invasion and who underwent LT or LR between 2007 and 2013 were reviewed. A propensity score matching model was used to adjust baseline differences between the two groups. A t...

Plant roots exhibit remarkable developmental plasticity in response to local soil conditions. It is shown here that mild salt stress stimulates a stress-induced morphogenic response (SIMR) in Arabidopsis thaliana roots characteristic of several other abiotic stresses: the proliferation of lateral roots (LRs) with a concomitant reduction in LR and primary root length. The LR proliferation compon...

The effects of lipid-rich bovine serum albumin (LR-BSA) on the development of porcine blastocysts produced in vitro were examined. Addition of 0.5 to 5 mg/ml LR-BSA to porcine blastocyst medium (PBM) from Day 5 (Day 0 = in vitro fertilization) significantly increased the hatching rates of blastocysts on Day 7 and the total cell numbers in Day-7 blastocysts. When Day-5 blastocysts were cultured ...

An LR(1) parser is a finite-state automaton, equipped with a stack, which uses a combination of its current state and one lookahead symbol in order to determine which action to perform next. We present a validator which, when applied to a context-free grammar G and an automaton A, checks that A and G agree. Validating the parser provides the correctness guarantees required by verified compilers...

Heterosis over better parent for seed yield and its component traits were studied in 28 crosses derived from a diallel mating involving 8 diverse parents of lentil. For seed yield heterosis ranged from -1.73 to 48.35 (%). Twenty two crosses had positive and significant heterosis for seed yield, out of them 9 crosses viz., DPL 62 x K 75, PL 4 x K 75, B 18 x Lens 830, PL 4 x B 18, B 18 x K 75, PL...

Tomita devised a method of generalized LR (GLR) parsing to parse ambiguous grammars e ciently. A GLR parser uses linear-time LR parsing techniques as long as possible, falling back on more expensive general techniques when necessary. Much research has addressed speeding up LR parsers. However, we argue that this previous work is not transferable to GLR parsers. Instead, we speed up LR parsers b...
