English. This paper presents some experiments for the construction of an highperformance PoS-tagger for Italian using deep neural networks techniques (DNN) integrated with an Italian powerful morphological analyser. The results obtained by the proposed system on standard datasets taken from the EVALITA campaigns show large accuracy improvements when compared with previous systems from the liter...

In their search for satisfactory solutions to complex combinatorial problems, metaheuristics methods are expected to intelligently explore the solution space. Various forms of memory have been used to achieve this goal and improve the performance of metaheuristics, which warranted the development of the Adaptive Memory Programming (AMP) framework [1]. This paper follows this framework by integr...

We report the case of a patient suspected of voluntary massive poisoning by ethylene glycol. Prehospital diagnosis was established by portable blood analyser and an early antidote with 4 MP treatment initiated in out-of-hospital setting. Use of portable blood analyser in prehospital care should be considered in case of suspected massive poisoning by ethylene glycol.

A new approach for an efficient text analyser is proposed. The prosody generator-driven method is employed to design an efficient text analyser for Mandarin text-to-speech. More simple structure of text analysis, more suitable classification of linguistic features and more efficient contribution of linguistic features to the prosody generator can be achieved. Three heuristic and theoretical met...

AIMS To assess the accuracy and precision of INR measurement by trained practice and district nursing staff using the Thrombolytic Assessment System (TAS) analyser. METHODS Seventeen nurses from four practices were trained to measure INR using the TAS analyser on citrated capillary blood samples. Quality control (QC) consisted of: daily internal QC using normal and abnormal commercial plasmas...

Performance, resolution and spectral throughput both of the sagittally focusing monochromator and of the alternately installed two analysing systems, a Cauchois-type cylindrically bent crystal analyser for Compton-profile measurements, and a spherically bent crystal analyser for S(q, (^-measurements, of the new Compton spectrometer at the HARWI (harter Röntgen Wiggler) of the DORIS storage ring...

BACKGROUND The Innocor device contains a highly sensitive photoacoustic gas analyser that has been used to perform multiple breath washout (MBW) measurements using very low concentrations of the tracer gas SF6. Use in smaller subjects has been restricted by the requirement for a gas analyser response time of <100 ms, in order to ensure accurate estimation of lung volumes at rapid ventilation ra...
