Named entity recognition (NER) is a well-established task of information extraction which has been studied for decades. More recently, studies reporting NER experiments on social media texts have emerged. On the other hand, stance detection is a considerably new research topic usually considered within the scope of sentiment analysis. Stance detection studies are mostly applied to texts of onli...

BACKGROUND There are clear indications for benefits of stance control orthoses compared to locked knee ankle foot orthoses. However, stance control orthoses still have limited function compared with a sound human leg. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential benefits of a microprocessor stance and swing control orthosis compared to stance control orthoses and locked knee...

SEE PAGE 166 F ibrinolysis remains a cornerstone for the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) when primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is not readily available. Its administration in a pre-hospital setting increases the proportion of patients undergoing rapid reperfusion with resultant improved outcomes compared with in-hospital administration (1). The lo...

Patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) suffer from inabilities such as weakness and muscle fatigue due to the demyelination. The inabilities may result in some disorders in walking. The present study is a clinical trial research conducted on 84 participants in two groups of experimental and control who were randomly selected. The results showed that people with MS apply more force on the ground ...

Online social media are a perfect text source for stance analysis. Stance in human communication is concerned with speaker attitudes, beliefs, feelings and opinions. Expressions of stance are associated with the speakers' view of what they are talking about and what is up for discussion and negotiation in the intersubjective exchange. Taking stance is thus crucial for the social construction of...

The influence of stance width on frontal plane postural dynamics and coordination in human bipedal stance was studied. We tested the hypothesis that when subjects adopt a narrow stance width, they will rely heavily on nonlinear control strategies and coordinated counter-phase upper and lower body motion to limit center-of-mass (CoM) deviations from upright; as stance increases, the use of these...

23 The influence of stance width on frontal plane postural dynamics and 24 coordination in human bipedal stance was investigated. We tested the hypothesis that 25 when subjects adopt a narrow stance width, they will rely heavily on nonlinear control 26 strategies and coordinated counter-phase upper and lower body motion to limit center-of27 mass (CoM) deviations from upright; but as stance incr...

We present a new approach to the automated classification of document-level argument stance, a relatively underresearched sub-task of Sentiment Analysis. In place of the noisy online debate data currently used in stance classification research, a corpus of student essays annotated for essaylevel stance is constructed for use in a series of classification experiments. A novel set of features des...
