Biomedical ontologies provide essential domain knowledge to drive data integration, information retrieval, annotation, natural-language processing and decision support. BioPortal (http://bioportal.bioontology.org) is an open repository of biomedical that provides access via Web services browsers developed in OWL, RDF, OBO format Protégé frames. functionality includes the ability browse, search visualize ontologies. The interface also facilitates community-based participation evaluation...
Ångstrom has proposed that rough absorbing materials are darker when wet because their diffuse reflection makes possible total internal in the water film covering them, increasing likelihood of absorption light by surface. His model is extended here two ways: probability calculated more accurately, and effect on decrease relative refractive index (liquid to material instead air material) estimated. Both extensions albedo wetted surface, bringing into good agreement with experiment.
Since the 1980s, social movement scholars have investigated dynamic of movement/countermovement interaction.

The U.S. Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Act) of 2009 paved the way for Food Drug Administration (FDA) to propose nine different graphic warning labels (GWLs) intended prominent placement on front back cigarette packs advertisements.

Further, as formal practical barriers revocation act dynamic become higher, comes closer a cession sovereignty, for democratic polities, such...
