When he catheter was pulled back, an iatrogenic ventricular eptal defect (VSD) with a clear left-to-right shunt was etected (Fig. 2, Video 2). TA-AVI was then performed ithout any other complications. One year later the patient as asymptomatic a...

Stemming algorithms are commonly used during textual preprocessing phase in order to reduce data dimensionality. However, this reduction presents different efficacy levels depending on the domain that it is applied to. Thus, for instance, there are reports in the literature that show the effect of stemming when applied to dictionaries or textual bases of news. On the other hand, we have not fou...

The efficiency of Portuguese banks is evaluated for the period 1990 to 1995. Portugal provides a unique case to study the relative efficiency of new banks, a significant segment of the banking industry, as well as to study the improvement in efficiency overtime following a period of rapid and substantial deregulation. * Universidade Católica Portuguesa and INSEAD.

We present a computational analysis of de re, de dicto, and de se belief and knowledge reports. Our analysis solves a problem rst observed by Hector-Neri Casta~ neda, namely, that the simple rulè(A knows that P) implies P' apparently does not hold if P contains a quasi-indexical. We present a single rule, in the context of a knowledge-representation and reasoning system, that holds for all P, i...

I provide an equilibrium analysis of the role of private information on timing decisions of duopolists in a quantity setting framework. The firms are privately informed about their costs and may decide their quantities in one of two dates. In the unique symmetric perfect Bayesian equilibrium, a firm with a low cost produces in the first date, while a firm with a high cost produces in the second...

Este artigo faz um balanço pessoal do percurso da Linguateca, uma organização virtual em demanda de uma maior facilidade e qualidade no processamento da ĺıngua portuguesa, nos últimos dez anos. Inicio o artigo por uma curta perspectiva histórica para explicar o contexto em que a Linguateca surgiu e quais os objectivos iniciais para o progresso da área. Avalio de seguida resumidamente a situação...
