The purpose of the investigation was to derive the optimal configuration of the spectrum analyser when used for the exposure assessment around base stations, together with the associated uncertainty and the underlying rationale for the chosen settings. A base-band simulation model for both the spectrum analyser and the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) communication signals has ...

The Kodak Ektachem DT60/E analyser is a desk-top analyser which uses thin-film ’dry’ chemistry technology to perform colorimetric and potentiometric analyses. The analyser is simple to operate and the slides are claimed to be stablefor up to oneyear if stored at 4 C. Calibration is said to be required only once every three months. Results presented in this paper substantiate these claims and sh...

In this article we present the way we have built a syllable-based TTS system for Romanian. The system contains: a text analyser capable to separate syllables from input text and detect accentuation, a vocal database with recorded syllables, a unit matching module and a synthesizer. The analyser was built using a LEX generator by mean of two sets of phonetic rules. Vocal database was generated t...

BACKGROUND/AIM Reduced cerebral blood flow and decreased glucose metabolism have been identified in epilepsy patients receiving vigabatrin. It is likely that such a change may extend to the eye and may be linked to previously reported irreversible visual field defects. The aim of this study was to determine whether patients who have undergone anti-epileptic drug (AED) therapy with vigabatrin ha...

The paper proposes a morphological analyser supported by a neural network to in ect words written in Polish. The approach can be also applied to other languages. The main task of the analyser is to create base forms from the analysed words' forms. Other objective is to provide grammatical information for the analysed form. Computational experiment results con rm that both objectives are ful lle...

A finite-state morphological grammar for Southern Ndebele, a seriously under-resourced language, has been semi-automatically obtained from a general Nguni morphological analyser, which was bootstrapped from a mature hand-written morphological analyser for Zulu. The results for Southern Ndebele morphological analysis, using the Nguni analyser, are surprisingly good, showing that the Nguni langua...

Traveling to high altitudes can expose the eye to reduced ambient cold and low-pressure environments. These conditions can affect the physiology of the eye and may result in ocular problems and visual disturbances. In this paper, ocular disorders related to high altitudes are briefly reviewed. Then, high-altitude ocular disorders are categorized in three parts: those related to dry and cold env...

Inflammation is a complex biological response and like other parts of the body, ocular inflammation could have untoward effects on vision if not detected and/or diagnosed early. NSAIDs are the major ocular therapeutics for treating such eye inflammations and preferred over corticosteroids. NSAIDs are given orally as well as topically to treat ocular inflammations, however topical route is prefe...
