The Edinburgh submissions to the shared task of the Third Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation (WMT-2008) incorporate recent advances to the open source Moses system. We made a special effort on the German– English and English–German language pairs, leading to substantial improvements.

urban expansion and agriculture intensification are relevant drivers in land degradation (ld)processes in europe due to net loss of land, soil sealing, landscape fragmentation and other negative effects on the environment. this paper explores changes (or “trajectories” of change) in land use and cover (lulc) and their relationship with the consumption of soils in emilia-romagna (northern italy)...

(Dated: February 1, 2008) A normal-fluid component varying as T is observed at very low temperatures in superfluid He and He-He mixture films adsorbed in alumina powder. The normal fluid appears to arise from thermally excited third sound that has one-dimensional propagation characteristics. A Landau model of third sound excitations in an infinite cylindrical pore by Saam and Cole provides good...

Asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), a condition defined as hyperparathyroidism that lacks specific symptoms or signs and with calcium levels of less than 1 mg/dL above the upper limit of normal, is a common clinical problem. Two previous conferences on the management of asymptomatic PHPT (a Consensus Development Conference and a National Institutes of Health workshop) indicated tha...

Aquaculture remains a growing, vibrant and important production sector for high-protein animal food that is easily digestible and of high biological value. Globally, marine and inland capture fisheries provide two-thirds of the total food fish supply with the remaining one-third being derived from aquaculture [1]. The reported global production of food fish from aquaculture, including fin fishe...

Researchers in the United States and Mexico have variously asserted that return migration from the United States to Mexico increased substantially, remained unchanged, or declined slightly in response to the 2008-2009 U.S. recession and fall 2008 global financial crisis. The present study addresses this debate using microdata from 2005 through 2009 from a large-scale, quarterly Mexican househol...
