An electronic Data Sharing Agreement (DSA) is the machine-processable transposition of a traditional paper contract regulating data sharing among different organizations. DSA conveys different information, like the purpose of data sharing, the parties stipulating the contract, the kind of data, and a set of rules stating which actions are authorized, prohibited, and obliged on such data. Possib...

An electronic particle counter (Coulter Counter ZBI) and pulse-height analyser (Channelyzer C1000) have been used to measure numbers and sizes of mitochondria isolated from the ciliated protozoon Tetrahymena pyriformis. Differential centrifugation of disrupted organisms, followed by single-step sub-fractionation of the mitochondrial fraction on sucrose gradients yielded a population of organell...

The paper describes the realisation of a Spread Spectrum Network Analyser using appropriate software to control a PC interface card, like a soundcard. The software generates a digitised time waveform consisting of a Spread Spectrum signal containing a number of equal amplitude spectral components. The interface card converts this waveform to an analogue signal, which is then passed through the ...

One of the main goals of this paper is to describe a formal procedure linking inflectional and derivational processes in Czech and to indicate that they can be, if appropriate tools and resources are used, applied to other Slavonic languages. The tools developed at the NLP Laboratory FI MU, have been used, particularly the morphological analyser ajka and the program I par for processing and mai...

1 Introduction Computational processing of highly inflectional languages – that typically feature a huge number of possible word forms – relies upon an efficient morphological analysis. For this, a comprehensive morphological analyser is needed, which cannot be replaced by a simple lexicon lookup since such a lexicon should contain all word forms for the language and would be computationally in...

In this paper we compare two competing approaches to part-of-speech tagging, statistical and constraint-based disambigua-tion, using French as our test language. We imposed a time limit on our experiment: the amount of time spent on the design of our constraint system was about the same as the time we used to train and test the easy-to-implement statistical model. We describe the two systems an...

The bubble pressure tensiometer BPA-1P is a new development by SINTERFACE based on more than 10 years of experience in bubble pressure techniques, for example the MPT1 and MPT2 sold by LAUDA. Many new instrumental details have been published recently, such as the determination of bubble time characteristics, the optimisation of the aerodynamic system, as well as the options to reach extremely s...

In a service-oriented architecture, software services interact by means of message exchanges that follow certain patterns documented in the form of behavioural interfaces. As any software artifact, a service interface evolves over time. When this happens, incompatibility problems may arise. We demonstrate a tool, namely BESERIAL, that can pinpoint incompatibilities between behavioural interfaces.
