Recent changes in user employment of Internet based services, new deployment technologies for mobile networks as well as an ongoing realisation of fixed and mobile converged networks e.g. the EU FP7 project COMBO, are significant examples of enablers for increasing demands on DSL links. Investigating cross-layer dependencies between all layers in the OSI reference model becomes increasingly import
In this paper, we describe Langforia, a multilingual processing pipeline to annotate texts with multiple layers: formatting, parts of speech, named entities, dependencies, semantic roles, and entity links. Langforia works as a web service, where the server hosts the language processing components and the client, the input and result visualization. To annotate a text or a Wikipedia page, the user c
The purpose of the current study was to determine the optimal strategy for preparing cell suspensions for co-transplantation. In the first experiment, the number of Sertoli cell (SC) aggregates and the number of tyrosine hydroxylase positive neurons were compared over time when cell suspensions of Sertoli or ventral mesencephalic cells were kept as a co-suspension mixed at 0 h. Cells from each sus
Children can and should be encouraged to take an active part in their own care. With the introduction of online health care centers, where the main interaction is provided through digital consultations, the process for including the child must be revised. In addition to the medical and legal challenges, the digital interface needs to be designed so that the parent is encouraged to involve the chil
Measuring MIMO-SAR is an important part of mobile handset evaluation, following the introduction of uplink MIMO transmission schemes in LTE-Advanced. However, the measurement of MIMO-SAR is complex and time-consuming. In this paper, 6 unique dual-antenna mobile handsets, including both typical and novel designs, are analyzed to determine the dependence of MIMO-SAR on antenna configuration and corr
The compressive sensing algorithm BPDN applied to RCS ISAR measurements is investigated in this paper. It is used to acquire ISAR images from data sets that are incomplete if conventional back projection is used to process images. The aim of the study is to determine if the algorithm can be used to extract accurate RCS values for parts of the measured objects when there are azimuth angle gaps in t
In 1977 WHO published in the Bulletin a Memorandum on Methods for the Detection of Haemophilia Carriers. This was produced following a WHO/WFH (World Federation of Haemophilia) Meeting of Investigators in Geneva in November 1976, and has served as a valuable reference article on the genetics of haemophilia. The analyses discussed were based on phenotypic assessment, which, at that time, was the on
Different methods for the synthesis of anionic dimethyl sulfide platinum complexes of the type Q[PtCl3(Me2S)] (Q = triphenylbenzylphosphonium, Ph3PBzl, or tetrabutylammonium, BU4N) and [Pt(mu-Cl)Cl(Me2S)]2 are reported. The compounds Q[PtCl3(Me2S)] were prepared by interaction of [PtCl4]2- with an excess of Me2S in non-aqueous media, reduction of [PtCl5(Me2S)]- with hydrazine sulfate, bridge-split
There has been an increased interest in ways of measuring the value of new therapeutic options in oncology. An example of this in a European context is the ESMO Magnitude of Clinical Benefit Scale (ESMO-MCBS). The purpose of this study is to analyse how the value scales, exemplified with ESMO-MCBS, developed mainly to assist decisions by physicians, relate to other measures of clinical benefit and
In this paper, we describe a new system to extract, index, search, and visualize entities on Wikipedia. To carry out the extraction, we designed a high-performance entity linker and we used a document model to store the resulting linguistic annotations. The entity linker ,HERD, extracts the mentions from text using a string matching Engine and links the mto entities with a combination of rules, P
This chapter explores the ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) advanced solid-state metal additive/subtractive manufacturing process that combines ultrasonic welding and computer numerical control milling to fabricate solid metal components, layer-by-layer, from metal foils. The chapter will discuss the three key abilities of UAM: complicated geometries, dissimilar material bonding, and object
The impedance bandwidth of a small antenna is a critical design parameter. In the present paper, we present stored energies which can be used as a tool to predict the largest possible bandwidth for antenna designs within a given region. These predictions are given in terms of the best possible Q-factor that can be attained within the region. The here presented energies are valid for structures tha
The ultrafiltration (UF) with diafiltration is the state-of-the-art process in the bulk pharmaceutical industry to separate solutions containing high and low molecular weight solutes. By applying UF with diafiltration, a feed stream can be separated into a concentrate with a high concentration of high molecular weight solutes and a permeate, which is nearly 100% free of high molecular weight solut
We introduce a scalable observer architecture to estimate the states of a discrete-time linear-time-invariant (LTI) system whose sensors can be manipulated by an attacker. Given the maximum number of attacked sensors, we build on previous results on necessary and sufficient conditions for state estimation, and propose a novel multi-modal Luenberger (MML) observer based on efficient Satisfiability
This paper addresses reduction of test cost for core-based non-stacked integrated circuits (ICs) and stacked integrated circuits (SICs) by test planning, under power constraint. Test planning involves co-optimization of cost associated with test time and test hardware. Test architecture is considered compliant with IEEE 1149.1 standard. A cost model is presented for calculating the cost of any tes
We establish Lieb–Thirring power bounds on discrete eigenvalues of Jacobi operators for Schatten class perturbations under very general assumptions. Our results apply, in particular, to perturbations of reflectionless Jacobi operators with finite gap and Cantor-type essential spectrum.
