We present results of a survey for Lyα emitters at z ≈ 4.86 based on optical narrowband (λc = 7126Å, ∆λ = 73Å) and broadband (B, V , r, i, and z) observations of the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field using Suprime-Cam on the Subaru Telescope. We find 79 LAE candidates at z ≈ 4.86 over a contiguous survey area of 1.83 deg, down to the Lyα line flux of 1.47×10ergs s cm. We obtain the Lyα lum...

in this survey article a brief account on the development of padmakar-ivan (pi) index in thatapplications of padmakar-ivan (pi) index in the fascinating field of nano-technology arediscussed.

This paper contrasts complex thinking and reductionism during broad organizational transformation processes, focusing on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) rage. ERP implementations have resulted in huge investments for companies around the globe over the last few years, and have been promoted as a management panacea.

The aim of this study was ...

This paper describes clinical disorder recognition and encoding system submitted by IHS R&D Belarus team at the SemEval-2015 shared task related to analysis of clinical texts. Our system is based on IHS Goldfire Linguistic Processor and uses a rich set of lexical, syntactic and semantic features. The proposed system consists of two components: a CRF-based approach to recognize disorder entities...

This paper describes the aspect extraction system submitted by IHS R&D Belarus team at the SemEval-2014 shared task related to Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis. Our system is based on IHS Goldfire linguistic processor and uses a rich set of lexical, syntactic and statistical features in CRF model. We participated in two domain-specific tasks – restaurants and laptops – with the same system train...

Although the shortened dental arch (SDA) concept has been known to all over the world, acceptance of the SDA concept as an oral health standard can be questionable from the patients' point of view, even if it is biologically reasonable. Furthermore, because the health insurance system covers removable partial dentures (RPDs) for all citizens in Japan, SDA patients seem to prefer to receive pros...
