Benchmarx is the subject of bidirectional transformation case studyfor the Transformation Tool Contest 2017. The example is a well-known model-to-model transformation from the ATL transformationZoo named "Families to Persons". This paper presents a solution toprovide the inter-model consistency using the Epsilon Validation Lan-guage (EVL) and domain-specific traceability tec...

We consider t he language L of the st rings over t he alphabet {a, I} of sha pe x lxl where Ixl is t he length of the st ring x . We show that L is recognized in real t ime by an iterat ive array but not by a one-way cellular auto maton , while the lan guage {O, 1}*· L is recognized in real t ime by a cellula r automato n but not by an iterat ive array.

A current algebra based effective chiral theory of pseudoscalar, vector, axial-vector mesons is reviewed. A new mechanism generating the masses and guage fixing terms of gauge boson is revealed from this effective theory. A EW theory without Higgs is proposed. The masses and gauge fixing terms of W and Z are dynamically generated. Three heavy scalar fields are dynamically generated too. They ar...

The pattern matching capabilities of neural networks can be used to loc ate syntactic constituents of natural lan guage This paper describes a fully auto mated hybrid system using neural nets operating within a grammatic frame work It addresses the representation of language for connectionist processing and describes methods of constraining the problem size The function of the network is brie y...

Preliminary surveys show that the lan­ guage of blogs is not restricted to the more informal levels of expression. In­ stead blogs may include many kinds of written language: from simple personal notes to literary prose or poetry. The pa­ per presents a sample of Italian blogs and comments on the results of the search of literary forms in two Web corpora using search engine queries.

Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pathology is a common etiologic cause for 10 - 27% of cases of mechanical low back pain (LBP) below the L5 level. In the absence of definite clinical or radiologic diagnostic criteria, controlled blocks of the SIJ have become the choice assessment method for making the diagnosis of SIJ pain. The SI joint is most often characterized as a large, auricular-shaped, diarthrodi...

Results Of the 118 needle stick injuries reported during the surveillance period 47 (40%) were nurses, 25 (21%) were lab technicians, 24 (20%) were doctors, 20 (17%) were housekeeping staff and 2(2%) were other staffs. Hollow bore needle constituted 80.1% (95) of the injuries, solid needles constituted 16.5% (19) of the injuries and other sharps constituted 3.4% (4) of the injuries. On source a...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the role of core needle biopsy of axillary lymph nodes with suspected metastases from breast cancer and to correlate the imaging and histologic findings. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively studied 74 patients diagnosed with breast cancer who underwent ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy of axillary lymph nodes with characteristics suggestive of metastases on ultraso...

BACKGROUND Hepatitis B infection in injecting drug users is an important public health problem. Active immunization against hepatitis B is immunogenic and safe, but uptake rates in targeted vaccination programmes are low. This study was undertaken to identify factors associated with the uptake of hepatitis B vaccination in injecting drug users attending a needle exchange service. METHODS A re...
