This paper presents FrameNet’s approach to the representation of Support Verbs, as but one type of multiword expression (MWE) included in the database. In addition to motivating and illustrating FrameNet’s newly consistent annotation practice for Support Verb constructions, the present work advocates adopting a broad view of what constitutes a multiword expression.

Background & Aims: Shift work is programmed in various schedules, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The main purposes of this study were: a) to determine common shift schedules used in petrochemical industries, b) to compare shift work health-related problems among employees working in different shift schedules and c) to recommend appropriate shift schedule. Methods: This cross...

BACKGROUND Despite concerns as to whether nurses can perform reliably and effectively when working longer shifts, a pattern of two 12- to 13-hour shifts per day is becoming common in many hospitals to reduce shift to shift handovers, staffing overlap, and hence costs. OBJECTIVES To describe shift patterns of European nurses and investigate whether shift length and working beyond contracted ho...

A particularly simple Markov chain model for a reference string is described. The model, which is only slightly more complicated than the independent reference model, generates strings that have a locality property and that have a specified probability distribution of references over pages. Expressions are obtained for expected working-set size and expected working-set miss ratio. The of change...

This paper proposes an adaptive invalidate/update protocol for software distributed shared memory(DSM), which use the working-set notion of a conventional operating system as the criteria for determining whether to update or invalidate. The proposed protocol can adjust the amount of update messages as changing the value of working-set size. The proposed protocol was implemented in CVM[4], a sof...

trauma is a leading cause of death and disability especially amongst young people. road traffic crash–related death, injury, and chronic disability continue to be a major worldwide burden to drivers, pedestrians and users of mass transit, especially in low- and middle-income countries(lmic). projections predict worsening of this burden, and while motorization of lmic increases exponentially, a ...

The increased demand for several forest products makes it necessary to apply different management regimes in stands, which may influence the wood harvesting operations. This study aimed evaluate effect of average individual tree volumes obtained through on harvester productivity and costs, thereby enabling generate information managers. was carried out three Pinus taeda L. stands under clear cu...

In this paper, we demonstrate the impact of Multiword Expression (MWE) resources in the task of MWE recognition in text. We present results based on the Wiki50 corpus for MWE resources, generated using unsupervised methods from raw text and resources that are extracted using manual text markup and lexical resources. We show that resources acquired from manual annotation yield the best MWE taggi...

OBJECTIVES Sign-out (SO) is a challenge to the emergency physician. Some training programs have instituted overlapping 9-hour shifts. The residents see patients for eight hours, and have one hour of wrap-up time. This hour helps them complete patient care, leaving fewer patients to sign-out. We examined whether this strategy impacts SO burden. METHODS This is a retrospective review of patient...
