If the objective of a Continuous Automatic Speech Understanding system is not a speech-to-text translation, words are not strictly needed, and then the use of alternative lexical units (LUs) will bring us a new degree of freedom to improve the system performance. Consequently, we experimentally explore some methods to automatically extract a set of LUs from a Spanish training corpus and verify ...

The end-stage renal disease is characterized by a profound impairment in the regulation of body fluid distribution, and volume assessment in hemodialysis is one of the challenging goals for the nephrologist. To determine a state of euvolemia, different validated techniques have been employed and among them lung ultrasonography (LUS) has recently attracted growing attention on account of its cap...

BACKGROUND. The era of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) set the such task for lung ultrasound (LUS): to identify presence COVID-pneumonia, its differential diagnosis with other conditions which characterized by interstitial edema, determining severity damage and location, dynamics pulmonary changes tissue, development complications, as well assess effectiveness personalized therapy.

Abstract Background and Aims Hypertension related to subclinical volume overload is a common clinical problem in hemodialysis patients. Lung ultrasound (LUS) validated technique for minute titration of dry weight, but has limited adoption practice because it currently physician (nephrologist)-led methodology time consuming with 24-lung zones needing be imaged. This study aims show that (1) simp...

The temporal organization of the Fo contour in Swedish words with the grave accent (accent 11) has been investigated. Consonants and consonant c lus te rs of different length and complexity (from r b ] to [ r3 s t s p 1 ] were inserted between the two syllable kerne ls of com p a n d disyllabic nonsense words and the effect of the resulting tempor a l perturbations on the Fo contour of the seco...

This paper presents the middleware needed to deploy jobs to non-geographically colocated clusters with decentralized look-up severs. We have named our framework the Initium Remote Job Submission (RJS) system. Initium generates a jar file that is signed by a trusted certificate authority CA [Lyon]. The jar is run by a Computation Server (CS), (a remote computer running the Initium Computer Serve...

We read with a great interest the paper by Miglioranza et al. (1), which sought to define the performance of lung ultrasound (LUS) compared with a clinical congestion score, natriuretic peptides, and echocardiography, to evaluate decompensation in patients with systolic heart failure (HF) in an outpatient clinic. This paper is a valuable effort to bridge the gap between echocardiography and tho...

BackgroundPoint-of-care lung ultrasound (LUS) examination is increasingly utilized in Internal Medicine. To improve the standardization of LUS education and clinical use, explicit minimal criteria for defining what an acceptable clinically useful image are needed.MethodsA 97-item online survey potential common uses Medicine was developed sent to 10 international point-of-care experts. Their opi...

Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the effects dietary unsaturated and saturated fat ratio (U:S) linoleic linolenic acid (LA:ALA) on growth performance grow-finish pigs estrus detection gilts. A total 240 with initial body weight (BW) 54.4 ±5.5 kg were randomly assigned a high (>1.8; HUS) or low (<1.0; LUS) U:S in combination (20:1), moderate (12:1) (4:1) LA:A...
