Flow-through respirometry systems provide accurate measurement of gas exchange over long periods of time. However, these systems have limitations in tracking rapid changes. When an animal infuses a metabolic gas into the respirometry chamber in a short burst, diffusion and airflow in the chamber gradually alter the original signal before it arrives at the gas analyzer. For single or multiple bu...

BACKGROUND Various methods of haemoglobin (Hb) measurement are available to guide transfusion including several methods that allow for measurement at the bedside. This study directly compared their absolute and trend accuracy compared with values from the central lab (reference method). METHODS Adult patients undergoing surgery with expected blood loss wore a rainbow ReSposable sensor connect...

The TerminWeb analyser is a semantic based termination analyser for logic programs. It is uniqueness in that it is based on a semantics which makes the termination properties observable. Its implementation is obtained as an abstraction of an interpreter which computes the termination semantics of a given program. TerminWeb supports termination checking and inference with respect to semi-linear ...

A 29-year-old male presented at the emergency department of our hospital in a confused state. He had a history of psychoses and substance abuse. Physical examination revealed hyperventilation and abdominal tenderness. Blood gas analysis in the emergency department using an ABL 725 Radiometer analyser showed a severe metabolic acidosis with massive lactate elevation. Lactate acidosis due to mese...

In this paper we present a dependency analyser able to compute syntax recognition and analysis according to dependency grammars. Analyser is able to deal with nonprojective constructions, it has means to express the level of word-order freedom and its limitations. Level of word-order freedom and level of robustness (correctness) of sentences can be given as parameters of the analysis. Data and ...

The ENGTWOL morphological analyser is a 55,000 entry Koskenniemi-style morphological description of English that assigns all recognised input word forms with all possible morphological readings as a disjunctive list. Those words not recognised by the ENGTWOL analyser are analysed by a heuristic module; part-ofspeech readings are assigned on the basis of the form of the word (endings etc.). The ...
