A Pragmatic Approach to Effective Pre-clinical Mass Decontamination

A Pragmatic Approach to Pre-testing Prolog Programs

We present an overview on the AT(x) approach which is capable of automatically analyzing programs with respect to given tests and a reference solution. In the context of small homework assignments with precisely describable tasks, AT(P), a Prolog instance of the general AT(x) framework, is able to find many of the errors usually made by students and to communicate them in a manner understandabl...

Cost-Effective Marine Protection - A Pragmatic Approach

This paper puts forward a framework for probabilistic and holistic cost-effectiveness analysis to provide support in selecting the least-cost set of measures to reach a multidimensional environmental objective. Following the principles of ecosystem-based management, the framework includes a flexible methodology for deriving and populating criteria for effectiveness and costs and analyzing compl...

A Pragmatic Approach to Summary Extraction in Clinical Trials

ClinicalTrials.gov, the National Library of Medicine clinical trials registry, is a monolingual clinical research website with over 29,000 records at present. The information is presented in static and free-text fields. Static fields contain high-level informational text, descriptors, and controlled vocabularies that remain constant across all clinical studies (headings, general information). F...

A Pragmatic Approach to Conflict

This paper proposes an alternative approach to that of considering conflict as a foremost problem to be solved in a system made up of multiple entities, by suggesting to integrate it without necessarily running a serious risk. This position is supported by preliminary experimental results and by inter-disciplinary research reviews.
