Technology Description: The ENSR Biovault Treatment Process is an ex-situ bioremediation technology for the treatment of organic contaminated soils. Contaminated soils placed in specially designed soil piles, referred to as biovaults, are remediated by stimulating the indigenous soil microbes to proliferate and metabolize the organic contaminants in the soil at an accelerated rate. Depending on...

Our approach follows the work of Eckle-Kohler (1999) who used a regular grammar to extract lexicographic information from text corpora. We employ a system that allows to improve her querybased grammar especially with respect to recall and speed without reducing accuracy. In contrast to Eckle-Kohler (1999), we do not attempt to parse a whole sentence or phrase at once during the extraction proce...

Although for many years insects were believed to be insensitive to curare (Harlow, 1958; Hopf, 1952; Krupp, Lendle & Stapenhorst, 1952; Roeder, 1948, 1953; Roeder & Weiant, 1950; Usherwood, 1963), the recent report of Larsen, Miller & Yamamoto (1966) has demonstrated that insects are, indeed, sensitive to curare. Subsequent investigations (McCann, 1966; Flattum, Friedman & Larsen, 1967; Friedma...

OBJECTIVE YKL-40 is a secretory glycoprotein of chondrocytes, synovial cells, macrophages, and neutrophils. The aims were to determine serum YKL-40 in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and seek associations with early joint erosions. METHODS YKL-40 was measured by ELISA in serum samples collected every three month for 36 months from patients with early RA. The patients were treate...

A study was designed to evaluate observer variation in the assessment of radiographic deterioration of individual patients using the Larsen grading system. Radiographs of hands and feet of 52 patients were assessed by three observers. Each patient had paired films taken one year apart which were assessed together for change in score. To assess within-observer variation each set of films was rea...

Flexible queries have aroused an increasing interest for many years in the database literature (Bosc & Pivert, 1992; Christiansen, Larsen, & Andreasen, 1997; Larsen, Kacpryk, Zadrozny, Andreasen, & Christiansen, 2001), and the fuzzy set-based approach to this problem, introduced about 25 years ago, has been developed both at the theoretical and the practical levels through many works (e.g., Bos...
