Introduction Despite their limited licensed indications, anti-IL1 agents are often used in real-life practice for an increasing number of diseases. A national survey to record the off-label use of this class of therapeutics in France was started in January 2011. The survey is coordinated by the French National Reference Centre for Auto-inflammatory Diseases, under the aegis of the “Club Rhumati...

We report on our participation in the web task of the 2007 CrossLanguage Evaluation Forum (CLEF). We compared the results of snippet extraction based on topic title, ordered window, and unordered window. The precision and recall of the snippet extraction based on topic title was the best compared to those of the ordered window and unordered window.

We describe the use of a simulated student in a synchronous but distributed collaborative learning environment in the domain of programming. The role of the simulated student is to detect and repair difficulties in collaborative learning amongst the human students, for example when a human student is too passive or when the students start chatting about off-topic conversations. The simulated st...

The Interactive Track investigation at Rutgers concentrated primarily on three factors: the searchers’ uses and understandings of relevance feedback and ranked output, and the utility of relevance feedback for the interactive track task; the searchers’ understandings of the interactive track task; and performance differences based on topic characteristics and searcher and order effects. Our off...

This paper describes a Simulated Student architecture designed to detect and avoid three situations that decrease the benefits of learning in collaboration. These are off-topic conversations, students with passive behaviour and problems related to students’ learning. In order to check the efficiency of the model in a real case a Simulated Student, which has the features described in the model, ...

the elementary reaction of kaon exclusive electroproduction on protons has been studied ina broad kinematical range. data for the calculation of the form factor of the kaon have been taken atdifferent values of the invariant center of mass energy w in the range w=1.8, 1.85, 1.98, 2.08 (gev), forone value of the transferred 4-momentum q2=2.35 (gev/c)2. in this analysis, we calculated σl and σt b...
