In this paper, we report on the construction of a resource of Swiss legislative texts that is automatically annotated with structural, morphosyntactic and content-related information, and we discuss the exploitation of this resource for the purposes of legislative drafting, legal linguistics and translation and for the evaluation of legislation. Our resource is based on the classified compilati...

We prove the nontriviality at all levels of the filtration of the classical topological knot concordance group C · · · ⊆ Fn ⊆ · · · ⊆ F1 ⊆ F0 ⊆ C. defined in [COT]. This filtration is significant because not only is it strongly connected to Whitney tower constructions of Casson and Freedman, but all previously-known concordance invariants are related to the first few terms in the filtration. In...

In the article, theoretical principles and practical realization for the compilation of the concordance to"Perekhresni stezhky"("The Cross-Paths"), a novel by Ivan Franko, are described. Two forms for the context presentation are proposed. The electronic version of this lexicographic work is available online.

A recent study [1] suggests that, under certain circumstances, concordant changes in cerebral intravascular oxygenation and mean arterial blood pressure reflect impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation. In this paper, we propose a new measure to quantitate this concordance, derived from the common subspace of these signals. The method is compared to correlation and coherence analysis with respec...

PURPOSE To determine the degree of concordance for progression rate, size of atrophy, and visual acuity in patients with bilateral geographic atrophy (GA) due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). METHODS Analysis was performed in 156 eyes of 78 patients with bilateral GA. Best corrected visual acuity was determined with ETDRS charts. GA was quantified in digital fundus autofluorescence ...

Background: Excess body fat is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Accordingly, it is important to choose reliable, simple and straightforward methods for measuring body composition in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to verify the concordance between body composition obtained by Skinfold Thickness (SF) and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) as well as their corre...

OBJECTIVE To determine the extent to which computerised decision support can improve concordance of multidisciplinary teams with therapeutic decisions recommended by guidelines. DESIGN Multicentre cluster randomised trial. PARTICIPANTS Multidisciplinary cardiac rehabilitation teams in Dutch centres and their cardiac rehabilitation patients. INTERVENTIONS Teams received an electronic patie...

BACKGROUND The clinical assessment of kidney function based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in older patients remains controversial. This study evaluated the concordance and feasibility of using various creatinine-based equations for estimating GFR in elderly Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in 21...

BACKGROUND Recent studies using stress-rest perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) demonstrated a close correlation between myocardial ischemia and reduced fractional flow reserve (FFR). However, its diagnostic concordance may be reduced in patients with multivessel disease. We sought to evaluate the concordance of adenosine stress-rest perfusion CMR for predicting reduced FFR, and t...
