We describe META-SHARE which aims at providing an open, distributed, secure, and interoperable infrastructure for the exchange of language resources, including both data and tools. The application has been designed and is developed as part of the T4ME Network of Excellence. We explain the underlying motivation for such a distributed repository for metadata storage and give a detailed overview o...

This white paper is part of a series that promotes knowledge about language technology and its potential. It addresses educators, journalists , politicians, language communities and others. The availability and use of language technology in Europe varies between languages. Consequently, the actions that are required to further support research and development of language technologies also diffe...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis of randomized trials investigating the outcomes of patients undergoing percutaneous revascularization with drug-coated balloons (DCBs) for atherosclerotic disease of the infrapopliteal arteries. BACKGROUND The role of DCBs as revascularization therapy for infrapopliteal arteries represents a matter of ongoing controversy. METHO...

BACKGROUND Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of test accuracy studies are increasingly being recognised as central in guiding clinical practice. However, there is currently no dedicated and comprehensive software for meta-analysis of diagnostic data. In this article, we present Meta-DiSc, a Windows-based, user-friendly, freely available (for academic use) software that we have developed, pil...

As supercomputing resources become more available, users will require resources managed by several local schedulers. For example, a user may request 100 processors, a telescope, network bandwidth and a graphics display in order to perform an experiment. In order to gain access to all of these resources (some of which may be in di erent geographical and administrative domains), current systems r...
