Báo cáo khoa học: CONTEXTE NATUREL

Commonly used gralm~mrs which describe i~turai lan~uages /ex. ATN, Metamorphosis Grammars/ can be hardly applied in describing higly inflectional languages. So I propose a grammar called the grammar with natural context which takes into consideration properties of higly inflectional languages /ex. Polish / as well as structural languages /ex. English/. I introduce its normal form.

Báo cáo khoa học: ITERATIg-E OPERATIONS

We present in this article, as a part of aspectual operation system, a generation system of iterative expressions using a set of operators called iterative operators. In order to execute the iterative operations efficiently, we have classified previously propositions denoting a single occurrence of a single event into three groupes. The definition of a single event is given recursively. The classification has been carried out especially in consideration of the duratire / non-durative character of the denoted events and also in consideration of existence / non-existence of a culmination point (or a boundary) in the events. ...

Báo cáo khoa học: KNOWLEDGE ENGINEERING APPROACH TO MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS

Finnish is a highly inflectional language. A verb can have over ten thousand different surface forms - nominals slightly fewer. Consequently, a morphological analyzer is an important component of a system aiming at understanding Finnish. This paper briefly describes our rule-based heuristic analyzer for Finnish nominal and verb forms. Our tests have shown it to be quite efficient: the analysis of a Finnish word in a running text takes an average of 15 ms of DEC 20 CPU-time. I INTRODUCTION This paper briefly discusses the application of rule-based systems to the morphological analysis of Finnish word forms. Production systems...

Báo cáo khoa học: AN ISLAND PARSING INTERPRETER FOR THE FULL AUGMENTED TRANSITION NETWORK FORMALISM

Island parsing is a powerful technique for parsing with Augmented ~ a n s i t i o n Networks (ATNs) which was developed and successfully applied in the HWIM speech understanding project. The HWIM application grammar did not, however, exploit Woods' original full ATN specification. This paper describes an island parsing interpreter based on HWIM, but containing substantial and important extensions to enable it to interpret any grammar which conforms to that full specification of 1970.

Báo cáo khoa học: Parsing Flexible Word Order Languages

The work reported here has largely involved problems with parsing Italian. One of the typical features of Italian is a lower degree of word order rigidity in sentences. For instance, Paolo ama Maria (Paolo loves Maria) may be rewritten without any significant difference in meaning (leaving aside questions of context and pragmatics) in any the six possible permutations: Paolo ama Maria, Paolo Maria ama, Maria ama Paolo, Maria Paolo ama, ama Paolo Maria, ama Maria Paolo. Although Subject-Verb-Object is a statistically prevalent construction, all variations in word order can occur inside a component, and they may depend on the...

Báo cáo khoa học: How to Parse Gaps in Spoken Utterances

We describe GLP, a chart parser that will be used as a SYNTAX module of the Erlangen Speech Understanding System. GLP realizes an agenda-based multiprocessing scheme, which allows easily to apply various parsing strategies in a transparent way. We discuss which features have been incorporated into the parser in order to process speech data, in particular the ability to perform direction independent island parsing, to handle gaps in the utterance and its hypothesis scoring scheme.

Báo cáo khoa học: A FLEXIBLE NATURAL LANGUAGE PARSER BASED ON A TWO-LEVEL REPRESENTATION OF SYNTAX

In this paper we present a parser which al lows to make explicit the interconnections between syntax and semantics, to analyze the sentences in a quasi-deterministic fashion and, in many cases, to identify the roles of the various constituents even if the sentance is ill-formed. The main fea ture of the approach on which the parser is based consists in a two-level representation of the sy_n tactic knowledge: a first set of rules emits h~ potheses about the constituents of the sentence and their functional role and another set of rules verifies whether a hypothesis satisfies the con straints...

Báo cáo khoa học: deals with the interpretation of conceptual operations

Thls article deals with the interpretation of conceptual operations underlying the communicative use of natural language (NL) within the Structured Inheritance Network (Sl-Nets) paradigm. The operations are reduced to functions of a f o ~ a l language, thus changing the level of abstraction of the operations to be performed on SI-Nets. In this sense, operations on SI-Nets are not merely isomorphic to single epistemologleal objects, but can be viewed as a simulation of processes on a different level, that pertaining to the conceptual system of NL. For this purpose, we have designed a version of KL-ONE which represents...

Báo cáo khoa học: AN EXPERIFENTON SYNTHESIS OF RUSSIAN PARAMETRIC CONSTRUCTIONS

The paper describes an experimental model of syntactic structure generation starting from the limited fragment of semantics that deals with the quantitative values of object parameters. To present the input information the basic semantic units of four types are proposed:object, parameter, function and constant. For the syntactic structure representation the system of syntactic components is used that combines the properties of the dependency and constituent systems: the syntactic components corresponding to wordforms and exocentric constituents are introduced and two basic subordinate relations (actant and attributive) are claimed to be necessary. ...

Báo cáo Y học: The trans-sialidase from the African trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei

Trypanosoma brucei is the cause of the diseases known as sleeping sickness in humans (T. brucei ssp. gambiense and ssp. rhodesiense) and ngana in domestic animals (T. brucei brucei) in Africa. Procyclic trypomastigotes, the tsetse vector stage, express a surface-bound trans-sialidase that transfers sialic acid to the glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor of procyclin, a surface glycoprotein covering the parasite surface. Trans-sialidase is a unique enzyme expressed by a few trypanosomatids that allows them to scavenge sialic acid from sialylated compounds present in the infected host. ...

Báo cáo Y học: The Fc receptor c-chain is necessary and sufficient to initiate signalling through glycoprotein VI in transfected cells by the snake C-type lectin, convulxin

There is extensive evidence that FcR c-chain couples to the collagen receptor glycoprotein VI (GPVI) and becomes phosphorylated on tyrosines upon receptor cross-linking. However, it is not established whether this receptor complex is sufficient to initiate the signalling cascade. We transfected GPVI and the FcR c-chain into the human erythroleukaemia cell line K562, which lacks detectable expression of GPVI and the FcR c-chain. The results show that GPVI is unable to signal when expressed alone, despite its surface expression, upon stimulation with the snake C-type lectin, convulxin....

Báo cáo Y học: Temperature dependence of thermodynamic properties for DNA/DNA and RNA/DNA duplex formation

A clear difference in the enthalpy changes derived from spectroscopic and calorimetric measurements has recently been shown. The exact interpretation of this deviation varied from study to study, but it was generally attributed to the non-two-state transition and heat capacity change. Although the temperature-dependent thermodynamics of the duplex formation was often implied, systemic and extensive studies have been lacking in universally assigning the appropriate thermodynamic parameter sets. In the present study, the 24 DNA/DNA and 41 RNA/DNA oligonucleotide duplexes, designed to avoid the formation of hairpin or slipped duplex structures and to limit the base pair length less than 12...

Báo cáo Y học: Regulation of transcription of the Dnmt1 gene by Sp1 and Sp3 zinc finger proteins

The Sp family is a family of transcription factors that bind to cis-elements in the promoter regions of various genes. Regulation of transcription by Sp proteins is based on interactions between a GC-rich binding site (GGGCGG) in DNA and C-terminal zinc finger motifs in the proteins. In this study, we characterized the GC-rich promoter of the gene for the DNA methyltransferase (Dnmt1) that is responsible for methylation of cytosine residues in mammals and plays a role in gene silencing. We found that a cis-element (nucleotides )161 to )147) was essential for the expression of the mouse gene for Dnmt1. DNA-binding...

Báo cáo Y học: EPR characterization of the mononuclear Cu-containing Aspergillus japonicus quercetin 2,3-dioxygenase reveals dramatic changes upon anaerobic binding of substrates

Quercetin 2,3-dioxygenase (2,3QD) is a copper-containing dioxygenase that catalyses the oxidation of the flavonol quercetin to 2-protocatechuoylphloroglucinol carboxylic acid with concomitant production of carbon monoxide. In contrast to iron dioxygenases, very little is known about copper dioxygenases. We have characterized 2,3QD from the fungus Aspergillus japonicus by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR). At pH 6.0, 2,3QD shows a mixture of two EPR species. The major form has parameters typical of type 2 Cu sites (g// ¼ 2.330, A// ¼ 13.7 mT), the minor one has a more distorted geometry (g// ¼ 2.290, A// ¼ 12.5 mT)....

Báo cáo Y học: Phosphorylation of initiation factor-2a is required for activation of internal translation initiation during cell differentiation

The long uORF-burdened 5¢UTRs of many genes encoding regulatory proteins involved in cell growth and differentiation contain internal ribosomal entry site (IRES) elements. In a previous study we showed that utilization of the weak IRES of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF2) is activated during megakaryocytic differentiation. The establishment of permissive conditions for IRES-mediated translation during differentiation has been confirmed by our demonstration of the enhanced activity of vascular endothelial growth factor, c-Myc and encephalomyocarditis virus IRES elements under these conditions, although their mRNAs are not naturally expressed in differentiated K562 cells....

Báo cáo Y học: Toxicity of substrate-bound amyloid peptides on vascular smooth muscle cells is enhanced by homocysteine

The main component of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) in Alzheimer’s disease is the amyloid-b protein (Ab), a 4-kDa polypeptide derived from the b-amyloid protein precursor (APP). The accumulation of Ab in the basement membrane has been implicated in the degeneration of adjacent vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). However, the mechanism of Ab toxicity is still unclear. In this study, we examined the effect of substrate-bound Ab on VSMC in culture. The use of substrate-bound proteins in cell culture mimics presentation of the proteins to cells as if bound to the basement membrane. Substrate-bound Ab peptides were found to be toxic...
