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
Local infection control measures, antibiotic consumption and patient demographics from 1999-2000 together with bacteriological analyses were investigated in 29 ICUs participating in the ICU-STRAMA programme. The median antibiotic consumption per ICU was 1147 (range 605-2143) daily doses per 1000 occupied bed d (DDD1000). Antibiotics to which >90% of isolates of an organism were susceptible were de
Utsläpp från jordbruk och förbränning av fossila bränslen ökar den atmosfäriska belastningen av reaktivt kväve (N). Kvävenedfall beräknas fortsätta utgöra betydande skada både för miljön och människors hälsa under de kommande decennierna. Övergödning som resultat av kväveläckage är en av de negativa effekterna av nedfallet. Den inträffar när tillförseln av N in i ett ekosystem överstiger upptagninEmissions from agriculture and the combustion of fossil fuels increase the atmospheric load of reactive nitrogen (N). N deposition is projected to continue posing significant harm both for environmental and human health over the upcoming decades. Eutrophication as a result of N leaching is one of the negative effects of heavy deposition. It occurs when the input of N into an ecosystem exceeds its
Many companies today strive to reduce their environmental impact. A potential strategy to reduce CO2 emissions is horizontal cooperation between actors on the same level of different supply chains. The strategy opens for cooperation, in for example such non-core activities as distribution and transportation, between companies with a competitive relationship. Larger transport networks increase the
The protection that different types of buildings can provide against gamma radiation from radioactive fallout has been investigated since the late 1950s. The DCPA Standard Method has served as the basis to determine this protection, which is given by the so called “protection factor”. Several studies in the U.S. have utilized enclosed sources of radioactive nuclides to simulate fallout and test th
Purpose: Return policies are an important component for consumers when making a decision to transact with an E-tailer, as such it is equally important for E-tailers’ that the returns policy aids in this decision by reducing information asymmetry. While lenient return policies have the ability to influence the customer positively, they are also subject to opportunistic behavior from consumers, as
Due to the depletion of earth’s resources and the growing concern of electronic waste it is important to extend the lifespan of electronic products. Consumers often have the perception that re-used and remanufactured products are of lesser quality than new counterparts. This study aims to evaluate if a more comprehensive sustainability certification scheme for electronic products, covering criteri
