BACKGROUND Urine test strip results are generally reported in categories (i.e., ordinal scaled), but automated strip readers are now available that can report quantitative data. We investigated the possible use of these meters to complement flow cytometry of urine and compared reflectance readings with quantitative determinations of urinary glucose and microalbumin. METHODS We compared URISYS...

This may partly be explained by the fact that an insufficient number of tests have been carried out on healthy subjects, so that the physiological limits of the response to the test were not clear. Furthermore, the incidence of positive results in glaucomatous eyes with a normal initia...

This paper presents ParTes, the first test suite in Spanish and Catalan for parsing qualitative evaluation. This resource is a hierarchical test suite of the representative syntactic structure and argument order phenomena. ParTes proposes a simplification of the qualitative evaluation by contributing to the automatization of this task.
