Formally specified domain ontologies in languages such as OWL, RDF etc. lack the linguistics expressiveness that is necessary to support natural language processing (NLP) tasks such as ontology-based information extraction and natural language generation from ontologies etc. This problem has been addressed recently by approaches such as LexOnto, LingInfo and LexInfo, which aim to develop lexicon models that allow to enrich ontologies with linguistic information about realization. LexInfo, which is based on the Lexical Markup Framework (LMF), is the most expressive of them and includes all the features included in LingInfo and LexOnto. It provides a framework for construction of 'lexicalized ontologies' on top of existing domain ontologies by associating linguistic and morpho-syntactic information with them using lexical resources such as CELEX1, Comlex2, WordNets3, VerbNets4 etc. This paper presents a case study where a bioinformatics ontology originally created to be used for semantic annotation of bioinformatics services (in the myGrid project) is lexicalized semi-automatically based on the LexInfo model. We have evaluated the performance of the LexInfo ontology lexicalization service by comparing an automatically generated lexicon for the myGrid ontology, using the service, with a semi-automatically created one, that is used as a gold standard. Various issues that were experienced during our experiments are discussed that can be addressed to improve the LexInfo model (in specific) and similar models (in general). We expect that the generated lexicon of the myGrid ontology can help in the improvement of related information extraction problems such as automation of bioinformatics web service annotation by applying NLP techniques on domain literature etc. Moreover, the LexInfo based lexicon can be used to formulate recommendations to improve the design structure of the domain ontology for better utility in NLP tasks.
Considering the Interleaver optimization of short frame turbo codes, a code-matched interleaver design based on the parity weight low-bound of component codes is proposed. The form of Locally-bad in turbo codes is inv...

Arbitrary orientation and sparse data content are common characteristics of torn document. To ensure accuracy and reliability in computer-based analysis, content-zone segmentation is required. In our previous work, we studied segmentation of handwritten and printed text. A questioned document-piece in the form of an office note, however, might also contain non-text data like logos, graphics, and pictures. Hence a more precise content-zone classification is required. In this paper we propose a two-tier approach for non-text, handwriting and printed text segmentation. The first tier aims to discriminate text and non-text regions. The second tier classifies handwritten and printed text within all text zones identified during the first tier. Gabor features and chain-code features are used in Tier-1 and Tier-2, respectively. By using SVM classifier we successfully identified 97.65% of 31,227 text regions in our current test data. The proposed approach identified 98.69% of printed and 96.39% of handwritten text amongst all identified text regions.
Among the large number of genes presented in microarray data, only a small fraction of them are effective for performing a certain diagnostic test. However, it is very difficult to identify these genes for disease dia...

The need of interoperable e-government services is addressed through the use of web services where sensitive services need to be granted to only authorized subjects from different organizations. In this paper, we propose a Trust and Dynamic Role Based Access Control model (TDRBAC) which deals with the specific requirements of e-government services. It effectively enhances the access control level since it is based on the trust level notion. The trust level evaluation is based on contextual attributes to assign to user role the appropriate view during the active session. The TDRBAC model is sensitive to the internal or external arisen events and it incorporates them in the access decision which makes it suitable for e-government dynamic environment.

Gene regulation is controlled by transcription factor proteins which themselves are encoded as genes. This gives a network of interacting genes which control the functioning of a cell. With the advent of genome wide expression measurements the targets of given transcription factor have been sought through techniques such as clustering. In this paper we consider the harder problem of finding a gene's regulator instead of its targets. We use a model-based differential equation approach combined with a Gaussian process prior distribution for unobserved continuous-time regulator expression profile. Candidate regulators can then be ranked according to model likelihood. This idea, that we refer to as ranked regulator prediction (RRP), is then applied to finding the regulators of Gata3, an important developmental transcription factor, in the development of ear hair cells.
