Sera from patients being treated with phenytoin were analyzed for the drug by spectrophotometry, gas chromatography, radioimmunoassay, enzyme immunoassay, and liquid chromatography. The essay values obtained were intercompared statistically. Enzyme immunoassay and liquid chromatography appear to be attractive alternatives to the more traditional methods of spectrophotometry and gas chromatograp...

Various aspects of application of derivative spectrophotometry in chemical analysis and in investigations of equilibria and kinetics of reactions are scrutinized. The presented paper provides useful information about state-of-the-art and possibilities offered by derivative spectrophotometry in pharmaceutical, clinical or environmental fields of analysis.

Sophisticated documents like legal cases and biomedical articles can contain unusually long sentences. Extractive summarizers can select such sentences— potentially adding hundreds of unnecessary words to the summary—or exclude them and lose important content. Sentence simplification or compression seems on the surface to be a promising solution. However, compression removes words before the se...

In this paper we investigate how participant involvement and turn-taking features relate to extractive summarization of meeting dialogues. In particular, we examine whether automatically derived measures of group level involvement, like participation equality and turn-taking freedom, can help detect where summarization relevant meeting segments will be. Results show that classification using tu...

The rapidly increasing availability of multimedia associated with spoken documents on the Internet has prompted automatic spoken document summarization to be an important research subject. Thus far, the majority of existing work has focused on extractive spoken document summarization, which selects salient sentences from an original spoken document according to a target summarization ratio and ...
