Simultaneous determinations exploiting the rates of reactions of different analytes with a common reagent, often referred to as differential kinetic analysis, is efficiently implemented in the flow analyser. To this end, specific strategies for pumping, commuting and/or detecting have been proposed. This review critically discusses the potentialities, limitations and application ranges of the d...

Following the guidelines for MT evaluation proposed in the ISLE taxonomy, this paper presents considerations and procedures for evaluating the integration of machine-translated segments into a larger translation workflow with Translation Memory (TM) systems. The scenario here focuses on the software localisation industry, which already uses TM systems and looks to further streamline the overall...

The paper describes the system built by the team from the University of West Bohemia for participation in the CLEF 2006 CL-SR track. We have decided to concentrate only on the monolingual searching in the Czech test collection and investigate the effect of proper language processing on the retrieval performance. We have employed the Czech morphological analyser and tagger for that purposes. For...

Computational learning systems attempt to improve performance with experience, according to some pre-de ned performance dimensions. Many such systems induce rule sets that function as simple knowledge bases (e.g., Quinlan, 1986). Simon (1983) argued that learning can be more e cient than programming for large knowledge-based systems. Thus, hybrid systems involving large knowledge bases may pro ...

In this work we present the first version of ROSA Analyser, a tool designed to get closer to a fully automatic process of analysing the behaviour of a system specified as a process of the Markovian Process Algebra ROSA. In this first development stage, ROSA Analyser is able to generate the Labelled Transition System, according to ROSA Operational Semantics. ROSA Analyser performance starts with...

Visual analytics systems combine machine learning or other analytic techniques with interactive data visualization to promote sensemaking and analytical reasoning. It is through such techniques that people can make sense of large, complex data. While progress has been made, the tactful combination of machine learning and data visualization is still under-explored. This state-ofthe-art report pr...

Local Authority road networks commonly include roads with different functional characteristics and a variety of construction types, which require maintenance solutions tailored to their needs. Given this background, on local road network, pavement management is founded on the experience of the agency engineers and is often constrained by low budgets and a variety of environmental and external r...

although acrometastases are rare but clinically they are considered important. their etiology is quite different from the metastases to other sites; bronchogenic carcinoma is by far the most frequent case. the prognosis is always similar to metastatic bronchial cancer with an average survival of three months. treatment may involve distal digital amputation or antalgic radiotherapy. the main dif...

The methodology for the operation and calibration of a hygroscopicity tandem differential mobility analyser (HTDMA) and cloud condensation nuclei counter (CCNc) for size-resolved measurements of aerosol water uptake are presented. A state of the science aerosol thermodynamic model is used to benchmark the performance of the instruments. The performance, calibration and operation of the instrume...

The newly developed QA-810V is an optional unit for the determination of five-part white blood cell differentials. It can be used together with the same manufacturer's haematology analyser which has been used in relatively small-sized laboratories. The present study evaluates the basic performance of the QA-810 V and the MEK-8118 haematology analyser using routinely obtained blood specimens tre...
