Parallel corpora are the bread and butter of a number of machine translation technologies. Therefore, important efforts are regularly spent in acquiring new ones. This task often involves a rather cumbersome manual inspection and it is rather difficult to set up a strategy that fits all the needs. We thus developed PARADOCS, a system aiming at doing this automatically. Our solution exploits num...

A critical, yet not very well studied problem in medical applications is the issue of accurately labeling patient records according to diagnoses and procedures that patients have undergone. This labeling problem, known as coding, consists of assigning standard medical codes (ICD9 and CPT) to patient records. Each patient record can have several corresponding labels/codes, many of which are corr...

Web includes digital libraries and billions of text documents. A fast and simple search through this sizeable set is important for users and researchers. Since manual or rule based document classification is a difficult, time consuming process, automatic classification systems are absolutely needed. Automatic text classification systems demand extensive and proper training data sets. To provide...

Continuously Heated Greenhouses: A production or retail greenhouse with a constantly maintained temperature of 50 degrees F or more during winter months. Such greenhouse must also have a maintenance attendant on duty at all times or an adequate temperature alarm system to provide warning in the event of a heating system failure. In addition, the greenhouse roof material must have a thermal resi...

Distorted currents drawn by nonlinear loads used in power installations (including lighting) can cause many problems. With the constantly progressing increase number of these loads, phenomena accumulate, constituting significant causes serious failures both electrical and electronic devices, as well installation components. The effects disturbances introduced to network may include, for example...

ABSTRACT Anthropic changes in coastal watersheds affect the quantity and quality of water estuaries. Based on an analytical model saline intrusion load balance, we have evaluated effects effluent discharge (mean 285 L·s−1 peak 495 L·s−1) from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) island estuary. Saline at low tide, without actual anthropic discharge, will increase by 22%, whereas with increasing ...

Engine research community interest in the Radio-Frequency corona-based ignition systems is currently gaining importance mainly due to their capability ensure robust combustion at challenging operating conditions such as very lean mixture and/or high EGR dilution. The benefits of Corona low-temperature plasma foster early flame development thanks precursors production and a more energetic volume...

This research evaluated the wastewater treatment system of Punta Carnero sector, in relation to pollutant efficiency load removal, final effluent quality and impact on ecosystem, finally determine if discharge can be reused for agricultural irrigation. The was based affluent characterization system, carried out three phases: i) Taking simple samples, analyzed an accredited water laboratory anal...
