We examined whether a text message-based intervention, targeted at increasing daily levels of physical activity, would be more effective than a standard psychoeducational intervention and a control condition. Sixty-three individuals (43 women) with a mean age of 23.7 years participated in the study. They w...

This article describes a machine translation system based on an automatic post-editing strategy: initially translate the input text into the target-language using a rule-based MT system, then automatically post-edit the output using a statistical phrase-based system. An implementation of this approach based on the SYSTRAN and PORTAGE MT systems was used in the shared task of the Second Workshop...

This paper describes a project on building a Machine Translation system for television and film subtitles. We report on the specific properties of the text genre, the language pair SwedishDanish, and the large training corpus. We focus on the evaluation of the system output against independent and post-edited translations. We show that evaluation results against post-edited translations are hig...

This paper describes our approaches at NTCIR-12 short text conversation (STC) task (Chinese). For a new post, instead of considering post-comment similarity, our system focus on finding similar posts in the repository and retrieve their corresponding comments. Meanwhile, we choose frequency property of comments to adjust ranking models. Our best run achieves 0.4854 for mean P, 0.3367 for mean n...

This text aims to question the current “post-Fordist” model, after defining the former Fordism, and showing some latter configurations of “post-Fordism” in Britain, France, Germany and Japan. The compilation of knowledge concerning the organization of work was developed, first of all, by F. W. Taylor, based on technical and scientific methods and on the division of work. Nowadays, many expressi...

BACKGROUND There is little evidence on how best to present diagnostic information to doctors and whether this makes any difference to clinical management. We undertook a randomised controlled trial to see if different data presentations altered clinicians' decision to further investigate or treat a patient with a fictitious disorder ("Green syndrome") and their ability to determine post-test pr...
