This paper describes an IR (Information Retrieval) approach to identifying the ICD-10 code of a medical term, such as a disease name or a description of a symptom or a complaint), in a medical text. In this approach, we prepare a dictionary of disease names, each paired with a corresponding ICD-10 code(s). The system searches for the disease name most relevant to the input, and returns the ICD-...

Accurate free energy estimation is essential for RNA structure prediction. The widely used Turner's energy model works well for nested structures. For pseudoknotted RNAs, however, there is no effective rule for estimation of loop entropy and free energy. In this work we present a new free energy estimation method, termed the pseudoknot predictor in three-dimensional space (pk3D), which goes bey...

Prediction of RNA secondary structure by free energy minimization has been the standard for over two decades. Here we describe a novel method that forsakes this paradigm for predictions based on Boltzmann-weighted structure ensemble. We introduce the notion of a centroid structure as a representative for a set of structures and describe a procedure for its identification. In comparison with the...

Computing by splicing is a new powerful tool stemming originally from molecular genetics. This new model of computing, splicing systems, is investigated here. Several variants, resulting from the use of the rules in different ways, are considered. The power of such systems with very weak structure imposed on rules turns out to be very large. Characterizations of recursively enumerable languages...

— Ehrenfeucht conjectured that each language L over a finite alphabet E possesses a test set, that is a finite subset F of L such that every two morphisms on E* agreeing on each string in F also agree on each string in L. We introducé the notion of déviation of a string with respect to a language and use it to give a sufficient condition for the existence of such a test set. Moreover, we prove ...

Dynamically reconfigurable systems have benefited from a new class of FPGAs, recently introduced into the market, that enables partial and dynamic reconfiguration. While enabling concurrent reconfiguration without disturbing system operation, this technology also raises a new test challenge: to assure a continuously fault free operation independently of the circuit present after the reconfigura...

the purpose of present study was investigation of the effect of attentional focus of novice players’ self-statements in basketball free throw practice on their state anxiety in transfer test with spectators’ presence. therefore, 38 novice females (mean of the age=22 yrs.) who had intermediate trait anxiety were selected randomly by sports competitive anxiety test (scat). the participants were a...

We investigated whether c-fos expression in the dorsal horn is affected by licking in the formalin test. Thirty adult Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups of 6 rats each: a free condition control (Free Cont) group, formalin test under free condition (Free F-test) group, scrub stimulation under free condition (Free Scrub) group, restrained condition control (Restricted Cont) group, and...

For a class L of languages let PDL[L] be an extension of Propositional Dynamic Logic which allows programs to be in a language of L rather than just to be regular. If L contains a non-regular language, PDL[L] can express non-regular properties, in contrast to pure PDL. For regular, visibly pushdown and deterministic context-free languages, the separation of the respective PDLs can be proven by ...
