RDF* Graph Database as Interlingua for the TextWorld Challenge
2019
This paper briefly describes the top-scoring submission to the First TextWorld Problems: A Reinforcement and Language Learning Challenge. To alleviate the partial observability problem, characteristic to the TextWorld games, we split the Agent into two independent components: Observer and Actor, communicating only via the Interlingua of the RDF* graph database. The RDF* graph database serves as the “world model” memory incrementally updated by the Observer via FrameNet informed Natural Language Understanding techniques and is used by the Actor for the efficient exploration and planning of the game Action sequences. We find that the deep-learning approach works best for the Observer componen…
Scientific Literature Among Smoking and Respiratory System: Repercussion and Collaboration
2012
a b s t r a c t Aim: To analyze the distribution of the production, repercussion and co-authorship of articles on smok- ing in the "respiratory system" category through the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) and their inclusion in the first quartile of the Journal Citation Report (JCR). Methods: The literature search was performed in the SCI-E. Articles were selected for 2001-2010 for "respiratory system" using the descriptors "smok*" and "tobac*". Results: We found 1858 articles (ignoring collaboration) on the topic of smoking. The median number of published articles by five-year period was higher for the 2006-2010 period vs the 2001-2005 period; in contrast, the number of citations a…
Higher Fluid Balance Increases the Risk of Death From Sepsis: Results From a Large International Audit
2017
Contains fulltext : 177598.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) OBJECTIVES: Excessive fluid therapy in patients with sepsis may be associated with risks that outweigh any benefit. We investigated the possible influence of early fluid balance on outcome in a large international database of ICU patients with sepsis. DESIGN: Observational cohort study. SETTING: Seven hundred and thirty ICUs in 84 countries. PATIENTS: All adult patients admitted between May 8 and May 18, 2012, except admissions for routine postoperative surveillance. For this analysis, we included only the 1,808 patients with an admission diagnosis of sepsis. Patients were stratified according to quartiles of cumulative f…
CellMinerHCC: a microarray-based expression database for hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines.
2012
Background & Aims Therapeutic options for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) still remain limited. Development of gene targeted therapies is a promising option. A better understanding of the underlying molecular biology is gained in in vitro experiments. However, even with targeted manipulation of gene expression varying treatment responses were observed in diverse HCC cell lines. Therefore, information on gene expression profiles of various HCC cell lines may be crucial to experimental designs. To generate a publicly available database containing microarray expression profiles of diverse HCC cell lines. Methods Microarray data were analyzed using an individually scripted R program package. Dat…
The Gypsy Database (GyDB) of mobile genetic elements.
2007
In this article, we introduce the Gypsy Database (GyDB) of mobile genetic elements, an in-progress database devoted to the non-redundant analysis and evolutionary-based classification of mobile genetic elements. In this first version, we contemplate eukaryotic Ty3/Gypsy and Retroviridae long terminal repeats (LTR) retroelements. Phylogenetic analyses based on the gag-pro-pol internal region commonly presented by these two groups strongly support a certain number of previously described Ty3/Gypsy lineages originally reported from reverse-transcriptase (RT) analyses. Vertebrate retroviruses (Retroviridae) are also constituted in several monophyletic groups consistent with genera proposed by t…
Obecność w Internecie bibliograficznych baz danych tworzonych przez biblioteki na przykładzie systemu informacyjno-wyszukiwawczego "Pedagog"
2010
Artykuł zawiera analizę treści informacji znajdujących się w Internecie, które dotyczą systemu informacyjno-wyszukiwawczego PEDAGOG, tworzonego przez pracowników Biblioteki Głównej Uniwersytetu Opolskiego. Znaczącą rolę w promowaniu i określaniu znaczenia danego serwisu w sieci www, w tym również bibliograficznych baz danych tworzonych przez biblioteki, odgrywają odnośniki od innych stron internetowych. Analiza ma na celu przede wszystkim określenie „ukrytej” obecności PEDAGOGA w Internecie przez ocenę hiperłączy pochodzących od innych stron internetowych, jak również omówienie treści informacji o PEDAGOGU, znajdujących się w sieci www.
Hospitalizations of patients in Burgundy and in nine other french regions, spatial analysis of interregional flows from french hospital claims data
2015
Introduction / presentation of the context : The creation of ARS (Regional Healthcare Agencies) was accompanied by the regionalized organization of healthcare. Even though the administrative procedures for dividing the country into areas for healthcare coverage are well known, we propose a geographic analysis of the reasons why patients attend one hospital rather than another, which seem to escape the logic used by the authorities.Methods employed and sources of data : Using the PMSI-MCO, we studied the flow of patients living in one region to hospitals in other regions according to ten reasons for visiting hospitals. The analysis was completed by a cartographic analysis, which related the …
An Urbanistic Project Based on General Systems Theory
1991
This paper intends to be an outline of the Urbanistic Development Planning of the Valencian Community in Spain to be performed during the years 1991 to 1993, The following are considered as objectives of the Planning: – Quality of Life improvement, – protection of Nature, – rational management of natural resources, – rational use of land; all based on social demand. The territory and the mechanism of intervention is considered as a system whose elements can be grouped as: – uses of land, – infrastructure, equipment, services, – objectives, – intervention and management. The Planning proposes itself to be: integral, strategic, prospective, programmed, controllable and participative, A simula…
Inventory policies and information sharing in multi-echelon supply chains
2011
The aim of this article is to show how to modify a replenishment rule in relation to the operational information shared by suppliers. More specifically, we present a model of an Automatic Pipeline Variable Inventory and Order-Based Production Control System rule for a multi-echelon supply chain characterised by different increasing levels of shared information. A numerical study is presented to underline the performance differences for three variants of the smoothing order rule in terms of bullwhip reduction, inventory stability and operational and customer responsiveness. Results show how the effectiveness of a smoothing replenishment rule depends on the level of information sharing.
Structure Monitoring with BIM and IoT: The Case Study of a Bridge Beam Model
2022
The diffusion of Building Information Modelling (BIM) as a reference methodology, applied to the world of construction, leads to important changes in the design and the management of big constructions and infrastructures. However, although the BIM approach is necessary for managing the entire life cycle of a construction, today, this methodology is still rarely adopted beyond the design phase. This represents a major flaw because the management of every phase of the life cycle of buildings needs accurate preliminary planning. Certainly, one of the most complex and important phases of the life cycle of a construction is the monitoring phase, which represents a fundamental aspect for the main…
