Abstract Spectroscopic studies of emissions released from tungsten ions combined with a pellet injection technique have been conducted in the Large Helical Device. The Unresolved Transition Array (UTA) spectrum was observed wavelength ranges extreme ultraviolet (EUV) 6–60 Å and 130–340 Å, electron temperature dependence UTA spectral shape investigated region < 4.3 keV. UTAs W 24+ –W 33+ at 2...

Additive utility function models are widely used in multiple criteria decision analysis. In such models, a numerical value is associated to each alternative involved in the decision problem. It is computed by aggregating the scores of the alternative on the different criteria of the decision problem. The score of an alternative is determined by a marginal value function that evolves monotonical...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this article is to develop the best first-trimester screening model for preeclampsia (PE) based on maternal characteristics, biophysical parameters, and angiogenic factors in a low-risk population. METHODS A prospective cohort of 9462 pregnancies undergoing first-trimester screening is used. Logistic regression predictive models were developed for early and late PE (cut-o...

Dublin City University (DCU) and University of Tampere (UTA) participated in ImageCLEF 2007 photographic retrieval task with several monolingual and bilingual runs. The approach was language independent with text retrieval utilizing fuzzy s-gram query translation and combined with visual retrieval. Data fusion was achieved through unsupervised query-time weight generation approaches. The baseli...

University of Tampere (UTA) and Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS) joined forces in a CLEF-IP experiment where a simple automatic query generation approach was initially tested. For two topics, the extracted query words were compared to query keys selected by three human experts to see whether the automatic key word extraction algorithms seem to be able to extract relevant words from ...

Blood flow assessment employing Doppler techniques is a useful procedure in pregnancy evaluation, as it may predict pregnancy disorders coursing with increased uterine vascular impedance, as pre-eclampsia. While the local causes are unknown, emphasis has been put on reactive oxygen species (ROS) excessive production. As NADPH oxidase (NOX) is a ROS generator, it is hypothesized that combining D...

We present a new model of natural language processing in which natural language parsing and generation are strongly interleaved tasks. Interleaving of parsing and generation is important if we assume that natural language understanding and production are not only performed in isolation but also work together to obtain subsentential interactions in text revision or dialog systems. The core of th...

Previous studies have reported that poor posture can induce various musculoskeletal disorders. Recently, in children has become a problem. This study aimed to determine the characteristics of sagittal spinal alignment standing and sitting positions elementary school students how changes from position. Moreover, it clarifies (hyperkyphosis) position affects posture. was conducted among 83 studen...
