Designing a database has been a tough problem since the early days of business data processing. As domains of database applications extend to textual and multimedia information processing, the design problem has grown even harder although the recent object-oriented approach introduced a richer set of building blocks into the database arena[2]. Natural language (NL, for short) databases are part...

Background: The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is well known for its role in cardiovascular control. It is demonstrated that about 20-30% of the VTA neurons are GABAergic though their role in cardiovascular control is not yet understood. This study is carried out to find the effects of GABA A and GABA B receptors on cardiovascular response of the VTA. Methods: Experiments were performed on uretha...

The scale-dependent bias effect on the galaxy power spectrum is a very promising probe of local primordial non-Gaussianity (PNG) parameter $f_{\rm NL}$, but amplitude proportional to NL}b_{\phi}$, where $b_{\phi}$ linear PNG parameter. Our knowledge currently limited, yet nearly all existing NL}$ constraints and forecasts assume precise for it. Here, we use BOSS DR12 illustrate how our uncertai...

s 18 Ghana 12 Small-scale salt producers 14 A recent multicenter study clearly demonstrates that iodine repletion in children improves growth. Because over 285 million school-age children worldwide are iodine deficient, these findings underscore the importance of global efforts to eradicate IDD in this age group. Correcting iodine deficiency improves growth in children Michael Zimmermann ICCIDD...

In this paper I will provide a high level overview of the major results of CLARIN-NL so far. I will show that CLARIN-NL is starting to provide the data, facilities and services in the CLARIN infrastructure to carry out humanities research supported by large amounts of data and tools. These services have easy interfaces and easy search options (no technical background needed). Still some trainin...

We define a trivariate polynomial combining the NL-coflow and NL-flow polynomial, which build dual pair counting acyclic colorings of directed graphs, in more general setting regular oriented matroids.

Two forms (soluble and membrane-bound) of alkaline phosphatases (ALPs) were found in the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens. In order to further study ALPs in N. lugens, two putative ALP genes (Nl-ALP1 and Nl-ALP2) were identified in this pest. Both Nl-ALP1 and Nl-ALP2 show approximately the same degree of sequence identity (40-50%) to other insect soluble and membrane-bound forms of ALP. Co...

As one of the promising candidates cold dark matter, primordial black holes (PBHs) were formed due to collapse overdense regions generated by enhanced curvature perturbations during radiation-dominated era. The are expected be non-Gaussian in some relevant inflation models, and hence, higher-order loop corrections power spectrum might non-negligible as well altering abundance PBHs. In this pape...
