ATLIS (short for “ ATLIS Tags Locations in Strings”) is a tool being developed using a maximum-entropy machine learning model for automatically identifying information relating to spatial and locational information in natural language text. It is being developed in parallel with the ISO-Space standard for annotation of spatial information (Pustejovsky, Moszkowicz & Verhagen 2011). The goal of A...

In this collection of papers we have read about a range of research being applied to understanding the relationship between exposures to hand-transmitted vibration and injury to the hand and arm. These include laboratory studies designed to investigate specific human physiological and psychophysical responses or to determine biodynamic models for the hand and arm; animal surrogate studies to in...

Computational Modelling is a resource hungry discipline requiring extensive expertise and large amounts of time. The ISO-STEP (International Standards Organisation Standard for the Exchange of Product Model data) is proposing an integrated product model for CFD applications. This paper presents a specification for a STEP compliant building product model for CFD analysis incorporating IBM’s Open...

The international community, including the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), is currently seeking more granular systems of language identifiers than the widely used tags of ISO 639 parts 1 and 2. There is growing need for the more precise identification and annotation of language-based resources. This paper presents a key response to this need, in which the Linguasphere Regi...

In this presentation, we report about the ongoing work on the development of a standard for corpus query languages. This work takes place in the context of the ISO TC37/SC4 WG6 activity on the suggested work item proposal „Corpus Query Lingua Franca“ (Bański and Witt, 2011). We have collected a set of requirements on a corpus query language motivated by the needs of linguists and we will presen...

In 2011 ISO standardized [2] a family of deterministic pseudorandom bit generators MQ—DRBG, based on multivariate quadratic functions satisfying certain properties. The security of the generator could be described in terms of complexity of solving the corresponding system of multivariate quadratic equations. In our previous article [1] we proposed two different techniques for constructing syste...

In recent years, the incidence of foodborne diseases caused by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) has increased globally. For this reason, within the specific regional control plan for the detection of STEC in food products in Italy, the presence of STEC in unpasteurised milk cheeses was investigated. In total, 203 samples obtained from March 2011 to December 2013 were analysed, with...
