Offline simulation is often used by plant builders for the design of metallurgical plants and to ensure that performance expectations are met. Whereas some simulation models cover operations across the complete plant (e.g., throughput calculations), smaller simulation models focus on individual topics such as closed-loop control, vibration behavior and the functionality of single components. Th...

A case of non-Q myocardial infarction in a previously healthy 17-year-old body builder, who used clenbuterol, a long-acting beta(2) adrenergic agonist with anabolic and lipolytic effects, is reported. Only 1 case report of myocardial infarction associated with the use of clenbuterol was found in a literature review and that case was, however, associated with anabolic steroid use. This is the fi...

Foundations are important. There is a Biblical parable about two builders. One builder builds his house on a solid foundation. When storms come, the house remains standing. The other builder builds his house on the sand. When storms come, the house falls. The truth conveyed here is that those who choose to lead a life in accordance to God’s word labor not in vain; whereas, those who choose to a...

This paper introduces a network-based spoken dialog system development tool kit: WFSTDM Builder developed by NICT. WFSTDM Builder provides functions to share and edit SLU and scenario so that developers can create a wfst-based spoken dialogue system instantly with this tool. One can test the scenario by accessing to the servers connected such as ASR, TTS and WFSTDM server via not only the tool’...

we present in this paper a spatiotemporal SMIL editor with incremental verification capabilities. Our authoring tool, named SMIL Builder V2, is the extended version of our temporal editor SMIL Builder, defined in a previous work. The new version SMIL Builder V2 deals with spatial layout as well as spatio-temporal errors, like spatial conflict. The spatial conflict is a major problem that affect...

We present Schema Builder, a web-based user interface to create NLP schemas representing variables to be extracted from clinical text. Schema Builder allows the user to create rich concept-oriented, unambiguous schemas that consist of definitions, linguistic and semantic attributes, synonyms, and mappings to standardized vocabularies. The application assists the user by leveraging a detailed ge...

HPF-Builder graphical environment provides an interactive and visual solution to edit and visualize HPF data mapping directives. It frees the HPF programmers of all the syntactic constraints. General and detailled visualizations give complete information about data distribution along the grids of processors. Compare several mappings implies to evaluate some statistics about load distribution an...
