ACID-BASE DERANGEMENTS are frequently encountered in surgical patients, preoperatively, during the surgical procedure, and postoperatively. For some time surgeons and anaesthetists have concerned themselves with the control of these changes, and more recently the postoperative period has come under close scrutiny as regards acidosis and decreased arterial saturation. 1,~ The advent of open-hear...

Shannon (1948) showed that a wide range of practical problems can be reduced to the problem of estimating probability distributions of words and ngrams in text. It has become standard practice in text compression, speech recognition, information retrieval and many other applications of Shannon’s theory to introduce a ‘‘bag-of-words’’ assumption. But obviously, word rates vary from genre to genr...

Weighted Probability Distribution Voting (WPDV) is a newly designed machine learning algorithm, for which research is currently aimed at the determination of good weighting schemes. This paper describes a simple yet eeective weight determination procedure, which leads to models that can produce competitive results for a number of NLP classiication tasks. 1 The WPDV algorithm Weighted Probabilit...

A leading theory for the origin of modern humans, the 'recent African origin' (RAO) model [1], postulates that the ancestors of all modern humans originated in East Africa and that, around 100,000 years ago, some modern humans left the African continent and subsequently colonised the entire world, displacing previously established human species such as Neanderthals in Europe [2,3]. This scenari...

Soil moisture plays a critical role in the surface energy balance at the soil-atmosphere interface [4]. Using radar backscattering to retrieve soil moisture is a method of major concern due to its sensitivity to soil moisture [14] [15].In the past decades, many empirical, semi-empirical and physical models that relate the measured 0 to volumetric soil moisture mv have been carried out[14][15]. ...

In this paper, we describe ROOT13, a supervised system for the classification of hypernyms, co-hyponyms and random words. The system relies on a Random Forest algorithm and 13 unsupervised corpus-based features. We evaluate it with a 10-fold cross validation on 9,600 pairs, equally distributed among the three classes and involving several Parts-OfSpeech (i.e. adjectives, nouns and verbs). When ...
