This article aims to investigate and evaluate the translation of verb-noun collocation in English into Arabic Google and Bing online translation engines. A number of sentences were used as a testing dataset to evaluate both engines. Human translations by three bilingual speakers were used as a gold standard. A simple evaluation metric was proposed to calculate the translation accuracy of verb-n...

In recent papers Bing (1) and Williams (2) have proposed formulae which these authors believe to be more accurate than the original "standard" and "maximum" clearance equations of M6ller, McIntosh, and Van Slyke (3, 4), in expressing the effects of urine volume flow on the urea clearance in human subjects. Both Bing and Williams base their formulae on the data of M6ller et al (3). The essential...

Scholars writing books that are widely used to support teaching in higher education may be undervalued due to a lack of evidence of teaching value. Whilst sales data may give credible evidence for textbooks, it may poorly reflect educational uses of other types of books. As an alternative, this article proposes a method to automatically search for mentions of books in online academic course syl...

BACKGROUND We reviewed our 20-year experience with arterial switch operation (ASO) for transposition of the great arteries (TGA) or double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary ventricular septal defect (Taussig-Bing anomaly) to assess the early and long-term outcomes. METHODS Between January 1995 and December 2014, 139 consecutive patients who underwent ASO for TGA or Taussig-Bing anomaly...

Microsoft’s Bing takes a different approach to web search. Why do we call Bing a “decision engine” and what are the unique benefits this approach provides to users? This talk will describe the vision and design principles of Bing and how this translates into what we build. Behind the code there is a great deal of customer research and a few fundamental insights that motivate our designs. Evalua...

Multiple human cancer Ags have been identified, although little is known concerning which would be most effectively used in cancer immunotherapy. To gain insight into the selection of appropriate Ags, the immunologic reactivity of a patient who had a durable complete regression of melanoma metastases was measured. PBMCs were directly cloned using the monoclonal anti-CD3 Ab OKT3 and IL-2 without...

Let M be an orientable closed connected 3-manifold. We introduce the notion of amalgamated Heegaard genus of M with respect to a closed separating 2-manifold F , and use it to show that the following two statements are equivalent: (i) a compact connected 3-manifold Y can be embedded in M so that the exterior of the image of Y is a union of handlebodies; and (ii) a compact connected 3-manifold Y...
