Clustering is an important data exploration task. A prominent clustering algorithm is agglomerative hierarchical clustering. Roughly, in each iteration, it merges the closest pair of clusters. It was rst proposed way back in 1951, and since then there have been numerous mod-iications. Some of its good features are: a natural, simple, and non-parametric grouping of similar objects which is capab...

BACKGROUND Thermodilution technique using a pulmonary artery catheter is widely used for the assessment of cardiac output (CO) in patients undergoing liver transplantation. However, the unclearness of the risk-benefit ratio of this method has led to an interest in less invasive modalities. Thus, we evaluated whether noninvasive bioreactance CO monitoring is interchangeable with thermodilution t...

The aim of the current study was to design an self-nanoemulsified drug delivery system (SNEDDS) of docetaxel by optimizing the particle size using response surface methodology. SNEDDS were prepared using surfactant, co-surfactant and oils/co-solvents. A IV optimal design for 3 factors at 3-level each was employed systematically optimize particle size. The particle size was taken as dependent va...

We report the detection of rovibrationally excited CO emission from the inner disk of the classical T Tauri star (cTTS) TW Hya. We observe ∼ g of CO gas with a rotational temperature of K. The 21 6 # 10 430 40 linearity of the excitation plot suggests that the CO is optically thin. Atypical for cTTSs, hot CO was not detected, implying that TW Hya has cleared its inner disk region out to a radia...

Detailed up-to-date ground reference data have become increasingly important in quantitative forest inventories. Field reference data are conventionally collected at the sample plot level by means of manual measurements, which are both labor-intensive and time-consuming. In addition, the number of attributes collected from the tree stem is limited. More recently, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS...

In the 1980s, plot units were proposed as a conceptual knowledge structure for representing and summarizing narrative stories. Our research explores whether current NLP technology can be used to automatically produce plot unit representations for narrative text. We create a system called AESOP that exploits a variety of existing resources to identify affect states and applies “projection rules”...

Štern P., pokorný J., Šedivá A., Panovská Z. (2008): Rheological and sensory characteristics of yoghurt-modified mayonnaise. Czech J. Food Sci., 26: 190–198. Rheological and textural characteristics were studied in a set of 11 samples of yoghurt-modified mayonnaise at 15, 20, and 25°C. The rheometer Rheostress 300 was used to determine the static yield value, apparent viscosity, thixotropy, and...
