The language used in electronic communications such as emails, chats and SMS texts presents special phenomena and important deviations from natural language. Typical machine translation approaches are difficult to adapt to SMS language due to the many irregularities this kind of language shows. This paper presents a new approach for SMS normalization that combines lexical and phonological trans...

Short Messaging Service (SMS) text reminders provide a promising approach for increasing medication adherence. This review evaluates the literature from randomized controlled studies, observational studies as well as qualitative studies pertaining to efficacy of SMS reminders for improving the medication adherence. SMS interventions have been studied for a variety of disorders from medical and ...

In the present scenario, we are looking for a better way to access information. Short Messaging Service (SMS) is one of the popularly used services that provide information access to the people having mobile phones. However, there are several challenges in order to process a SMS query automatically. Humans have the tendency to use abbreviations and shortcuts in their SMS. We call these inconsis...

Whereas the penetration of mobile phones inAsian countries keeps climbing, little research has explored the application of the short message service (SMS) in second language learning. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of SMS vocabulary lessons of limited lexical information on the small screens of mobile phones. Thirty high school students were randomly distributed into two groups an...

An extension of the multi-configuration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) program for calculation of the specific mass shift (SMS) is described. The SMS values obtained from this relativistic program are shown to exhibit a trend: the higher the Z-value of the atom, the better the agreement with experiment and the greater the discrepancy with the non-relativistic results. The various modes (average level, optim...

Semantic Measures (SMs) are of critical importance in multiple treatments relying on ontologies. However, the improvement and use of SMs are currently hampered by the lack of a dedicated theoretical framework and an extensive generic software solution. To meet these needs, this paper introduces a unified theoretical framework of graph-based SMs, from which we developed the open source Semantic ...

The paper presents the method of transferring PCM (Pulse-Code Modulation) based audio messages through SMS (Short Message Service) over GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) network. As SMS is text based service, and could not send voice. Our method enables voice transferring through SMS, by converting PCM audio into characters. Than Huffman coding compression technique is applied in or...

OBJECTIVE Several studies have demonstrated that cellular phone short message service (SMS) improve antiretroviral adherence for people living with HIV in Africa, although less data are available to support using SMS reminders to improve timeliness of antiretroviral therapy (ART) pharmacy pick up. This study tested the efficacy of SMS reminders on timeliness of ART pharmacy pickups at an urban ...

OBJECTIVE To systematically review empirical evidence regarding the efficacy of depression self-management support (SMS) interventions for improving depression symptomatology and preventing relapse. METHODS Pubmed and PsycINFO databases were searched for relevant articles on depression SMS interventions. Scanning of references in the articles and relevant reviews and communications with field...

Smart Machining Systems (SMS) are an important part of Life Cycle Engineering (LCE) since its capabilities include: producing the first and every product correct; improving the response of the production system to changes in demand (just in time); realizing rapid manufacturing; and, providing data on an as needed basis. Thereby, SMS improve the performance of production systems and reduce produ...
