These databases, along with controlled function vocabularies like Gene Ontology (GO), have made computational annotation of protein functions easier.
For each piece of information, we checked if an appropriate term was available in publicly available ontologies: in particular STATO for statistics term, PROV for provenance, NeuroLex for neuroscience terms, RRID for tools and also, to a lesser extent, Dublin Core, the NEPOMUK file ontology and the Cryptographic Hash Functions vocabulary.
The findings supported our hypothesis, indicating that design frequency was related to a measure of right posterior functioning (Block Design) but not to a measure frequently found to be relatively sensitive to left posterior functioning (Vocabulary) or to a measure of left frontal (right hand FTT) or right frontal (left hand FTT) functioning.
GO provides a functional vocabulary for genes in terms of biological process, cellular component and molecular function.
Such an accuracy increase can be observed in Figure 13.8, which shows as a function of vocabulary size after feature selection for Reuters-RCV1.
Because these sequences are directly constrained by the rules of linguistic function (grammar, vocabulary and spelling) they cannot withstand the continual step-wise change seen in proteins.
They examined the size of the frequency effect as a function of vocabulary size, by comparing the results of three universities with different student populations.
Altogether, these results support the assumption that verbal functions, notably vocabulary and verbal comprehension, are more likely to be affected by prenatal PCB exposure than visual spatial functions.
Results reveal significant (p < 0.05) birth cohort effects on speed of processing, episodic memory, attention, executive functioning and vocabulary test scores.
