Computational cost tremendously restricts the wide application of conventional integral equation (IE) method in large-scale magnetotelluric (MT) modeling. A couple obstacles limit developments traditional MT modeling based on IE method. They are: O (N2) space complexity memory requirements for storing coefficients dense matrix; singularity Dyadic Green’s function; low efficiency using digital f...

Research suggests that fecal management systems (FMS) offer advantages, including potential cost savings, over traditional methods of caring for patients with little or no bowel control and liquid or semi-liquid stool. A budget impact model accounting for material costs of managing fecal incontinence was developed, and 1 year of experiential data from two hospitals' ICUs were applied to it. Mat...

This manuscript gives two possible rewritings from the mcsie system input language to hex programs, and compares them with respect to efficiency of evaluation in dlvhex.

We present an information extraction system for patient records which has been submitted to the ShARe/CLEF eHealth Evaluation Lab 2014 Task 2. The task was information extraction from clinical text in terms of a disease/disorder template filling process. The system uses a lexicalized parser to annotate grammatical relations between diseases, disorders, and other constituents on a sentence level...

This paper reports on the development of thee Japanese Information Extraction system and the Japanese Information Extraction customization tool. These systems are based on the corresponding English systems, the Proteus Information Extraction system (Grishman 97) and the Proteus Extraction Tool (Yangarber and Grishman 97), developed at NYU. In this paper, we will, in particular, describe the dif...

We will report on the IREX (Information Retrieval and Extraction Exercise) project. It is an evaluation-based project for Information Retrieval and Information Extraction in Japanese. The project started in May 1998 and concluded in September 1999 with the IREX workshop held in Tokyo with more than 150 attendance (IREX Commettee, 1999). There is a homepage of the project at (IREX, Homepage) and...

The large-scale applicability of knowledge-based information access systems such as the ones based on Information Extraction techniques strongly depends on the possibility of automatically acquiring the large amount of knowledge required. However, the basic assumption of the IE paradigm, i.e. that the information need is known in advance, limits inherently its applicability since the resulting ...

As a participating national lab in the inter-institutional effort to resolve performance issues of the non-elutable ion exchange technology for Cs extraction, we have carried out a series of characterization studies of UOP IONSIV IE-911 and its component parts. IE-911 is a bound form (zirconium hydroxide-binder) of crystalline silicotitanate (CST) ion exchanger. The crystalline silicotitanate r...
