Adverse drug reactions/events (ADR/ADE) have a major impact on patient health and care costs. While most ADR’s are not reported via formal channels, they often documented in variety of unstructured conversations such as social media posts or customer support call transcripts. In this paper, we propose natural language processing (NLP) solution that detects free-text conversations, which improve...

The propagation of plane waves in a Faraday chiral medium is investigated. Conditions for the phase velocity to be directed opposite to the direction of power flow are derived for propagation in an arbitrary direction; simplified conditions which apply to propagation parallel to the distinguished axis are also established. These negative phase-velocity conditions are explored numerically using ...

IF it is granted that the aqueous humour is formed by the active transfer of solutes and solvent from the plasma to the aqueous, it follows that the rates of transfer of the various solvent or solute species and the steady-state composition of the aqueous will depend upon the electrochemical potential difference (P.D.) across its boundaries with the plasma. Alterations of the electrochemical P....

The growth of the Internet is currently occurring at phenomenal rates. In this new environment, agents are needed to support our activities, ranging from simple Web surfing to sales and shopping. For instance, effective agents will change the nature of sales on the Internet from the current basic sales scheme to a full customer management approach. Agents can change the nature of interactions o...
