This deliverable presents the software support provided by the NeOn toolkit for matching ontologies, and in particular, recontextualise them. This support comes through the NeOn Alignment plug-in which integrate the Alignment API and offer access to Alignment servers in the NeOn toolkit. We present the NeOn Alignment plug-in as well as several enhancement of the Alignment server: the integratio...

We study the formation of neon-enriched donor stars in ultracompact X-ray binaries (Porb < 80 min) and show that their progenitors have to be low-mass (0.3–0.4)M “hybrid” white dwarfs (with CO cores and thick helium mantles). Stable mass transfer is possible if in the initial stages of mass exchange mass is lost from the system, taking away the specific orbital angular momentum of the accretor ...

Neon colour spreading occurs when sections of a lattice are replaced by segments of a different colour. This colour appears to diffuse out of the segments, and produce a slightly tinted transparent surface floating above the lattice. In two of the four experiments reported here, observers varied the colour of an area in a test display, until it matched the neon colour perceived in a correspondi...

Reusing elements of external ontologies is generally considered a good practice as it reduces the cost of ontology building and improves quality and interoperability. Yet, while many ontologies are now available for reuse, ontology developers still find difficult to efficiently identify relevant ontologies, to locate items of interest within them, and to integrate these elements in their ontolo...

Experimental measurements are presented which show that the anomalous hyperpolarizability dispersion previously observed for neon is spurious. The electric-field-induced second harmonic generation measurements of the hyperpolarizability of neon are now in agreement with the best ab initio results, both in the static limit and at optical frequencies. This experiment gives )+.,== 122.2kO.4 and 12...

We present a study of elemental abundances in a sample of thirteen Blue Compact Dwarf (BCD) galaxies, using the ∼10–37μm high resolution spectra obtained with Spitzer/IRS. We derive the abundances of neon and sulfur for our sample using the infrared fine-structure lines probing regions which may be obscured by dust in the optical and compare our results with similar infrared studies of starburs...

Neon is a high-level domain-specific programming language for writing efficient image processing programs which can run on either the CPU or the GPU. End users write Neon programs in a C# programming environment. When the Neon program is executed, our optimizing code generator outputs human-readable source files for either the CPU or GPU. These source files are then added to the user source tre...

The axial population distributions in an expanding helium-neon mixture plasma flow have been calculated for three cases of the concentration of neon ions. T h e results show that the electron temperature distributions are strongly dependent on the concentration of the neon ions and that the populations of the upper levels of the helium atom depend on the electron temperature near downstream and...
