This report introduces the STEP system for natural language access to relational databases. In contrast to most work in the area, STEP adopts a phrasal approach; an administrator couples phrasal patterns to elementary expressions of tuple relational calculus. This ‘phrasal lexicon’ is used bi-directionally, enabling the generation of natural language from tuple relational calculus and the inver...

101 In this issue of the MJM a study has examined the concept of using the Chronic Care Model (CCM) in an integrated manner to optimise the management of hypertension . The Chronic Care Model (CCM), a conceptual framework for the management of chronic disease has been in existence for over a decade. Many studies, particulary on diabetes, hypertension, heart failure, asthma, have taken some elem...

3D printing, as an additive process, offers much more than traditional machining techniques in terms of achievable complexity of a model shape. That fact was a motivation to adapt discussed technology as a method for creating objects purposed for aerodynamic testing. The following paper provides an overview of various 3D printing techniques. Four models of a standard NACA0018 aerofoil were manu...

Measurement is the means of collecting data from patients whether for purpose of research or for decision making in clinical practice. The commonest method of measurement used in research or practice is simply by observation. An obvious example is the physical examination of patients by a clinical investigator or by a doctor. Another familiar method is the use of equipment like in chemical meas...
