A measurement of the inclusive deep inelastic neutral current e(+) p scattering cross section is reported in the region of four-momentum transfer squared, 12GeV(2)

Large (>1 m) deformable mirrors are attractive for adaptive optics on ground-based telescopes; the mirrors typically have hundreds or thousands of actuators. The use of force actuators instead of position actuators has the potential to significantly reduce total system cost. However; the use of force actuators results in many lightly-damped structural resonances within the desired bandwidth of the

Losses of both habitat area and connectivity have been identified as important drivers of species richness declines, but little theoretical and empirical work exists that addresses the effect of fragmentation on relative commonness of highly mobile species such as pollinating insects. With a large dataset of wild bee and butterfly abundances collected across Europe, we first tested the effect of h

This paper describes a named entity recognition (NER) system for short text messages (SMS) running on a mobile platform. Most NER systems deal with text that is structured, formal, well written, with a good grammatical structure, and few spelling errors. SMS text messages lack these qualities and have instead a short-handed and mixed language studded with emoticons, which makes NER a challenge on

Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige insjuknar två barn i autoimmun diabetes (typ 1 diabetes) varje dag. Typ 1 diabetes (T1D) är en kronisk autoimmun sjukdom som kan få livshotande konsekvenser vid utebliven behandling. Sverige har den högsta incidensen av T1D i hela världen efter Finland. Förutom att den delvis är ärftlig vet man inte vilken eller vilka faktorer som triggar sjukdomen. Sedan mittType 1 diabetes (T1D) is strongly associated with autoantibodies against insulin (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase 65 (GADA), insulinoma-associated protein 2 (IA-2A) and the most recently identified zinc T8 transporter (ZnT8A). Together or alone, they are important both to predict T1D and to classify diabetes at the time of clinical onset. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs13266634 in th

BACKGROUND: Systolic blood pressure (SBP) decline has been reported in octogenarians. The aim was to study if it could be observed while measuring SBP with two methods: Korotkoff (K-BP) and Strain-Gauge-Finger-Pletysmography (SG-BP), and which of them were more reliable in expressing vascular burden.
