The number of registered hosts at reaches 3500 while the number of print queues approaches The spectrum of used computing environment is very wide: from and PC’s, through SUN, and machines to the IBM mainframe. In 1994 we used 18 tons of paper. We present a solution for providing print services in such an environment for more than 3500 registered users. The availability of the print service is ...

A novel automated method (Cell-Dyn 3500) allows malaria diagnosis by detecting malaria pigment in white blood cells during routine full blood counts. In Portugal, 174 samples from 148 patients who presented to the emergency department were analyzed. Compared with microscopy the sensitivity was 95% and the specificity was 88%. In 5 cases, false-positive Cell-Dyn 3500 results were from patients w...

The Spanish National Cancer Research Center (CNIO) and University of Navarra organized a challenge on recognizing chemical compounds and drugs (chemical entities) in biomedical literature, which includes two individual subtasks: 1) chemical entity mention recognition (CEM); and 2) chemical document indexing (CDI). The challenge organizers manually annotated chemical entities in 10000 abstracts ...

Pseudomonas putida adapted to growth in 3 mM cadmium. The resistance mechanism involved complexation of cadmium in polyphosphate granules, changes in the structure of the cell membrane and induction of three cysteine-rich, low molecular weight proteins (3500-7000) containing 4 to 7 g-atoms per mole of cadmium, zinc, and copper. Each protein was produced during a different phase of growth, and t...

Benefits of ArcGIS Desktop Enhancements Throughout the Enterprise Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Matt Wennstedt, Russ Schuster, Shannon Porter The ArcGIS 8 Desktop environment offers great functionality. This paper addresses some of the advantages of customizing an ArcGIS application for the enterprise at a county governmental level. The advantages include rapid mapping ability an...

Familial defective apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 is a genetic trait characterized by an Arg----Gln substitution in position 3500 of the apo B sequence. This genetic defect is associated with greatly increased concentrations of plasma cholesterol and may thus increase the risk of developing premature atherosclerotic disease. We describe here the use of mutagenic polymerase chain reaction primers, w...

We describe an ultrabroadband IR-visible sum-frequency (SF) setup that allows simultaneous acquisition of the entire vibrational spectrum of water molecules at mineral surfaces in the OH stretching region without ever tuning the IR laser pulses. Our newly developed 800-nm pumped noncollinear optical parametric amplifier (NOPA) generates broadband mid-IR pulses (~1800-3500 nm, or ~2900 - 6000 cm...
