The Image is Openness, The Practice is Data

The paper argues for the importance of seeing just how we conceptualise digital phenomena in relation to how the regulatory discourses. The Internet used to be an “information superhighway”, a “cyberspace”, or a “world wide web” often described as an empowering structure, that now has transformed to be understood in terms of “layers”, a generator of big data for a number of “platform” ventures and

The European spallation source and future opportunities for materials science

The European Spallation Source is Europe's next generation high-power neutron source utilising a linear accelerator and a rotating tungsten target to produce neutrons that will be used for fundamental research and industrial applications. The facility is co-hosted by the states of Denmark and Sweden, and while the main site will be placed in Lund, Sweden, the Data Management and Software Centre wi

Antifungal activities of extracts produced by liquid fermentations of Chilean Stereum species against Botrytis cinerea (grey mould agent)

Extracts obtained from liquid mycelial fermentations of Chilean species of the Stereum genus showed antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea. Thirty-six strains were evaluated in vivo and in vitro assays, 25 belonging to Stereum hirsutum (Sh) and 11 to Stereum rameale (Sr). Two types of extracts were obtained: EtOAc-extract (liquid phase) and MeOH-extract (mycelial phase). Plate diffusion assa

Occupational sedentariness and breast cancer risk

Background: Epidemiological studies have indicated that physical activity reduces the risk of developing breast cancer. More recently, sedentary behavior has been suggested as a risk factor independent of physical activity level. The purpose of the present study was to investigate occupational sedentariness and breast cancer risk in pre- and postmenopausal women. Materials and methods: In a popula

Double vector meson production in photon–hadron interactions at hadronic colliders

In this paper we analyze the double vector meson production in photon–hadron (γh) interactions at pp / pA / AA collisions and present predictions for the ρρ, J/ Ψ J/ Ψ , and ρJ/ Ψ production considering the double scattering mechanism. We estimate the total cross sections and rapidity distributions at LHC energies and compare our results with the predictions for the double vector meson production

PON-Sol : Prediction of effects of amino acid substitutions on protein solubility

Motivation: Solubility is one of the fundamental protein properties. It is of great interest because of its relevance to protein expression. Reduced solubility and protein aggregation are also associated with many diseases. Results: We collected from literature the largest experimentally verified solubility affecting amino acid substitution (AAS) dataset and used it to train a predictor called PON

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in adolescents with severe obesity (AMOS) : a prospective, 5-year, Swedish nationwide study

BACKGROUND: Severe obesity in adolescence is associated with reduced life expectancy and impaired quality of life. Long-term benefits of conservative treatments in adolescents are known to be modest, whereas short-term outcomes of adolescent bariatric surgery are promising. We aimed to compare 5-year outcomes of adolescent surgical patients after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with those of conservative

Evolutionary Genetics : Smells like a Pseudo-pseudogene

A new study reports the presence of a chemosensory pseudogene in Drosophila sechellia, which in spite of carrying a premature stop-codon nevertheless encodes a fully functional and full-length protein. Such ‘pseudo-pseudogenes’ might well be a widespread phenomenon.

A Distant Supervision Approach to Semantic Role Labeling

Semanticrolelabelinghasbecomeakeymodule for many language processing applications such as question answering, information extraction, sentiment analysis, and machine translation. To build an unrestricted semantic role labeler, the first step is to develop a comprehensive proposition bank. However, creating such a bank is a costly enterprise, which has only been achieved for a handful of languages.

trans-Influence of Triphenyl Stibine. Crystal and Molecular Structures of cis-[PtCl2(SbPh3)2] and trans-[PtI2(SbPh3)2]

Crystals of cis-[PtCl2(SbPh3)(2)] (1) are monoclinic, space group P2(1)/a with a = 20.5708(12), b = 10.1942(4), c = 33.3984(15) Angstrom, beta = 94.394(4)degrees and Z = 8. Substitution of chloride for iodide yields trans-[PtI2(SbPh3)(2)] (2), the crystals of which are monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c with a = 18.108(4), b = 10.102(2), c = 19.1 15(5) Angstrom, beta = 95.241(16)degrees and Z = 4.
