In this issue of Circulation, Midei and colleagues1 from The Johns Hopkins University report a high incidence of myocarditis in women with postpartum congestive heart failure. Myocarditis was first convincingly documented to be a cause of peripartum cardiomyopathy in 1982 by Melvin et a12 at King's College Hospital in London through use of premortem transvenous endomyocardial biopsy. Since then...

We describe a multilingual named entity recognition system using language independent feature templates, designed for processing short, informal media arising from Twitter and other microblogging services. We crowdsource the annotation of tens of thousands of English and Spanish tweets and present classification results on this resource.

This paper arose from attempting to understand Bousfield localization functors in stable homotopy theory. All spectra will be p-local for a prime p throughout this paper. Recall that if E is a spectrum, a spectrum X is Eacyclic if E∧X is null. A spectrum is E-local if every map from an E-acyclic spectrum to it is null. A map X → Y is an E-equivalence if it induces an isomorphism on E∗, or equiv...

We have developed hardware and software for continuous long-term recordings from the Hopkins Electronic EAR (HEEAR), an analog VLSI model of the auditory periphery designed in our laboratory [1]. Figure 1 shows the experimental setup. Previously recorded audio signals are used to stimulate the cochlear model. These signals can be downloaded to the rst PC's hard disk over an ethernet link. The P...
