Off-line answer extraction using patterns is a technique for corpus based Question Answering (QA) that has proven to be very effective. The results typically show a high precision score. However, the main problem with this technique is the lack of coverage of the extracted answers. One way to increase the coverage is to apply anaphora resolution. Using anaphora resolution we can turn informatio...

We studied the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and zoledronic acid (ZA) on posterior lumbar fusion using a validated animal model. A total of 40 New Zealand white rabbits underwent posterior lumbar fusion at L5-6 with autogenous iliac bone grafting. They were divided randomly into four groups as follows: group 1, control; group 2, HBO (2.4 atm for two hours daily); group 3, local ZA (20 μg o...

Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA) defines a semantic similarity space using a training corpus. This semantic similarity can be used for dealing with long distance dependencies, which are an inherent problem for traditional word-based n-gram models. This paper presents an analysis of interpolated LSA models that are applied to meeting recognition. For this task it is necessary to combine meeting an...

Povzetek. V tem članku predstavimo algoritem za ugotavljanje obstoja podatkovne odvisnosti pri vektorizaciji zank za CPE z naborom ukazov SIMD. Znano je, da lahko zaporedje ukazov, ki izvedejo enako operacijo nad sosednjimi operandi v pomnilniku, nadomestimo z enim samim ukazom SIMD, če med temi ukazi ni prave podatkovne odvisnosti, tj. odvisnosti tipa RAW. Vendar se izkaže, da lahko pravo poda...

Bone is the most common site for metastasis in patients with solid tumours. Bisphosphonates are an effective treatment for preventing skeletal related events and preserving quality of life in these patients. Zoledronic acid (ZA) is the most potent osteoclast inhibitor and is licensed for the treatment of bone metastases. Clodronate and pamidronate are also licensed for this indication. In addit...

Lastne izkušnje o epileptičnih napadih so osnovna informacija o tem, kako je imeti epileptični napad. To znanje je pomembno za izobraževanje bolnika, samonadzor epileptičnih napadov in nujno za razvoj ustreznih terapevtskih ukrepov, ki temeljijo na bolnikovi perspektivi. Z raziskovanjem izkušenj bolnikov pospešujemo nadaljnje raziskave o povezavah med lastnimi izkušnjami bolnikov in »objektivni...

Asociativne sheme prestavljajo enega izmed temeljev moderne kombinatorike. V tem sestavku z njimi obravnavamo prepletanje algebre in kombinatorike, ki je znano pod imenom algebraična kombinatorika. Gre za diskretno matematiko, kjer pa imajo objekti in strukture določeno stopnjo regularnosti. Pomembneǰsa področja praktičnih uporab algebraične kombinatorike so teorija kod za odpravljanje napak, t...

BACKGROUND Modic changes (MC) are associated with low back pain (LBP). In this study, we compared changes in size and type of MC, after a single intravenous infusion of 5 mg zoledronic acid (ZA) or placebo, among chronic LBP patients with MC on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and evaluated whether the MRI changes correlate with symptoms. METHODS All patients (N = 19 in ZA, 20 in placebo) ha...
