This paper presents an electronic dictionary of Spanish adverbial frozen expressions. It focuses on their formal description in view of natural language processing and presents an experiment on the automatic application of this data to real texts using finite-state techniques. The paper makes an assessment of the advantages and limitations of this method for the identification of these multiwor...

Tramadol is a centrally acting analgesic drug extensively metabolized in animal species. Its clinicalresponse is mainly due to the M1 metabolite, poorly produced in dogs. Grapefruit-juice can inhibit themetabolism of different drugs in animals and humans. The aim of the present study was to evaluate thepharmacokinetics of tramadol and its major metabolites after co-administration of tramadol an...

The aim of the investigation was to determine the changes in fatty acids profile and chemical quality indexes of Red Tilapia fillets during frozen storage at -18°C. The fish were filleted by hand. The prepared fillets were then placed to the polyamide pouches and stored at -18°C for 150 days. Fatty acid profile, sensory properties and chemical quality indices were determined for a five month pe...

Six patients received platelet concentrate transfusions from their HLA-identical siblings. Platelet concentrates were administered either fresh, or after being frozen in 10% dimethylsulfoxide, at a slow controlled rate (1 degree C/min) or rapidly (approximately 8 degrees C/min) in the vapor-phase of a liquid nitrogen refrigerator. The median freeze-thaw loss was 13.5%. The mean 1-hr and 20-hr c...

OBJECTIVE We have assessed the accuracy of frozen section diagnosis and the outcomes of misdiagnosis in borderline tumors of the ovary (BTO) according to frozen section. METHODS All pathology reports with BTO in both frozen and permanent section analyses between 1994 and 2008 at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital were reviewed. Frozen section diagnosis and permanent section histology reports were comp...

Cooling to -70 C killed a higher percentage of Acholeplasma laidlawii and Mycoplasma mycoides var. capri cells than cooling to -20 C. However, to preserve cell viability for prolonged periods storage at -70 C was much more preferable. The percentage of cells surviving freezing could be increased by increasing the initial cell concentration or by the addition of dimethyl sulfoxide or glycerol as...

– In this work, starting by suitable superpositions of equal-frequency Bessel beams, we develop a theoretical and experimental methodology to obtain localized stationary wave fields, with high transverse localization, whose longitudinal intensity pattern can approximately assume any desired shape within a chosen interval 0 ≤ z ≤ L of the propagation axis z. Their intensity envelope remains stat...

We prospectively studied 50 patients with the diagnosis of primary frozen shoulder. The serum lipid levels were measured in 43 of these patients and compared with those in 43 age-matched and sex-matched control subjects. The fasting serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels were significantly elevated in the frozen-shoulder group (cholesterol p < 0.01; triglyceride p < 0.02).
