The linguistic conformance and the ontological conformance between models and metamodels are two different aspects that are frequently mixed. This specifically occurs in the EMF framework resulting in problems such as the incapability to load and modify metamodels at runtime. In this paper we present a strategy to solve this problem by separating the ontological and the linguistic aspects of a ...

Comamonas testosteroni (formally Pseudomonas testosteroni) is common environmental bacterium that is not part of the human microbiome. Since its identification as a human pathogen in 1987, numerous reports have drizzled in, implicating this organism for various infections. Although these organisms are of low virulence, some of their obscurity perhaps is due to the incapability of clinical labor...

This paper presents MPIAB, an agent based architecture for parallel processing. The architecture is developed to model the functions of standard MPI using java agents. It remedies the deficiencies that exist in MPI, including the incapability to operate in heterogeneous environments. The architecture also addresses other issues such as effective utilization of system resources by dynamically se...

The use of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients who are not eligible for the technique because of their incapability to spontaneously eliminate accumulated secretions associated with hypercapnic encephalopathy is not recommended and is often considered a contraindication. In a case-control study, an experienced team reported t...

The author of this article has now become the principal target of the accusation that HIV-1 was introduced into man through the wildcat production of an oral polio vaccine in chimpanzee cell culture more than 40 years ago in the Belgian Congo. The putative evidence presented in support of this accusation rests essentially on testimonials by local witnesses. Such an accusation is strongly reject...

In this paper we study the problem of product search, where products are retrieved and ranked based on how their reviews match the query. Current product search systems suffer from the incapability to measure correspondence between a product feature and its desired property. A proximity language model is presented to embed textual adjacency in the frequency based estimation framework. To tailor...

This paper introduces the idea of using real mirrors in combination with rear-projection systems for the purpose of interacting with and navigating through the displayed information. Subsequently a derived application is described. For this, we use a hand-held planar mirror and address two fundamental problems of applying head tracking with rear-projection planes: the limited viewing volume of ...
