The early error detection capabilities of syntaxdriven parsers are studied. The classes of weak precedence and simple mixed-strategy precedence parsers are chosen as the object of study. Very similar techniques could be used to obtain related results for other classes of syntax-driven parsers. We investigate whether the correct-prefix and the viable-prefix properties can be enforced within thes...

Radiation is the emission (sending out) of energy from any source. The light that comes from the sun is a source of radiation, as is the heat that is constantly coming off our bodies. When talking about radiation, however, most people think of specific kinds of radiation such as that produced by radioactive materials or nuclear reactions. Most forms of radiation have not been linked to cancer. ...

For patients with medically intractable epilepsy, there have been few effective alternatives to resective surgery, a destructive, irreversible treatment. A strategy receiving increased attention is using interictal spike patterns and continuous EEG measurements from epileptic patients to predict and ultimately control seizure activity via chemical or electrical control systems. This work compar...

There is a high level of evidence coming from large randomized controlled trials that primary human papillomavirus (HPV) screening is better than cytology in detecting cervical intraepithelial neoplasia type 3 and cervical cancer as well as in reducing the incidence of and the mortality from cervical cancer. However, HPV screening will only be beneficial and costefficient in women above 30 year...

The traditional software development cycle relies mostly on informal methods to capture design errors in its initial phases, and on more rigorous testing methods during the later phases. It is well understood, though, that those bugs that slip through the early design phases tend to cause the most damage to a design. The anomaly of traditional design is therefore that it excels at catching bugs...

glanzmann’s thrombasthenia (gt) is an autosomal recessive inherited platelet function defect characterized by normal platelet count, prolonged bleeding time and abnormal clot retraction. this disease typically presents in infancy or early childhood and has proven to have very good prognosis. in this case study, a 22‑year‑old gt patient who also developed human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infec...

of the ways to fight breast cancer and reduce deaths hazard due to early detection is one of early detection programs in women's breast self- examination. examining breast by oneself increase individuals knowledge of her breast health that helps in detecting breast cancer early. different cultural, social, family and individual factors play roles in women's behavior about breast self- examinati...
