Ji et al. have conjectured that using the matrix form (to represent a basic solution) instead of the Simplex tableau in the dual Simplex method will lead to an algorithm with the time complexity comparable to the Hungarian algorithm for solving the Assignment Problem. In this note we show that both the time complexity and the CPU times of the Ji et al. algorithm are far away from being competit...

The paper reports on work in progress to develop a tag set for Hungarian. The rich morphological structure of the language makes tagging feasible only after a full-scale morphological analysis, which results in a magnitude of patterns that do not easily translate into a corpus tag set of manageable size. The paper analyses the extent and types of morpho-syntactic ambiguity found in a 21m word s...

Carniolan honey bees (Apis mellifera carnica) are considered as an indigenous subspecies in Hungary adapted to most of the ecological and climatic conditions in this area. However, during the last decades Hungarian beekeepers have recognized morphological signs of the Italian honey bee (Apis mellifera ligustica). As the natural distribution of the honey bee subspecies can be affected by the imp...

BACKGROUND trans unsaturated fatty acids are thought to interfere with essential fatty acid metabolism. To extend our knowledge of this phenomenon, we investigated the relationship between trans isomeric and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) in mothers during pregnancy and in their infants at birth. METHODS Fatty acid composition of erythrocyte phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosp...

Announcements at railway stations are a major information source for passengers. In order to ensure high intelligibility, the traditional solution is to use recorded prompts with “slot filling” of variable data. If a data type (e.g. train name) changes new recordings have to be made. Even with careful design the quality of the system will gradually deteriorate due to change of the voice of the ...

Studies were conducted to assess the response of hot pepper cultivars for yield and quality in the local soil and climatic conditions of the US Virgin Islands. Seven cultivars namely `Ring of Fire’, `Compadre’, `Camino Real’, `Jalapeno M’, `Caribbean Red’, `Hungarian Yellow Hot Wax’, and `Aguila Real’ were tested in the field.Significant differences were observed in cultivars for marketable fru...

In his article "A Female Adolescent Bystander's Diary and the Jewish Hungarian Holocaust" Gergely Kunt analyzes the unpublished diary manuscript of Margit Molnár, a Hungarian Roman Catholic adolescent girl born in 1927 who kept a diary between 1941 and 1949. Kunt's analysis shows how Molnár viewed Jews, the persecution of Jews, and the anti-Jewish terror in Budapest. As the diary documents, Mol...
