Vestibular stimulation: A simple but effective intervention in diabetes care

Despite the complexities of the relationship between vestibular stimulation and endocrine disorders being well known, research efforts to understand these complexities are lacking. Interestingly vestibular stimulation may potentially prevent/delay development/progression of diabetes. Here we review the science behind this concept and highlight the need for necessary translational research in th...

A New Look at Care in Pregnancy: Simple, Effective Interventions for Neglected Populations

BACKGROUND Although this is beginning to change, the content of antenatal care has been relatively neglected in safe-motherhood program efforts.

Simple but Effective Approaches to Improving Tree-to-tree Model

Tree-to-tree translation model is widely studied in statistical machine translation (SMT) and is believed to be much potential to achieve promising translation quality. However, the existing models still suffer from the unsatisfactory performance due to the limitations both in rule extraction and decoding procedure. According to our analysis and experiments, we have found that tree-to-tree mode...
