The physicochemical parameters of tris(2-methylbutyl) phosphate (T2MBP), a molecule possessing the essential characteristics required to be considered as promising extractant in solvent extraction stage fast reactor fuel reprocessing, have been evaluated present study. In this context, density, viscosity and interfacial tension (IFT), which are few among important selection criteria prior its d...

BACKGROUND Progress achieved in culture media formulations have resulted led to an improvement in maintaining the mammalian embryo in culture throughout the preimplantation and pre-attachment period. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of various concentrations of myo-inositol during in vitro fertilization of bovine oocytes on subsequent embryo development. MATE...

Objective The aim of this study was to determine the effect of revival soymilk consumption and moderate exercise on vasomotor symptoms, total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and alkaline phosphates activity in postmenopausal women. Materials and Methods In this study, daily for 3 months, 37 postmenopausal women (mean age = 52.2± 4.6 years) were randomly assigned to soymilk (n=15), exercise +soymilk ...

objective: the aim of this study was to select the best medium to maintain sperm motility during sperm-dna incubation and assess the dna uptake by spermatozoa of iranian holstein bulls and its effects on sperm motility. materials and methods: frozen sperms from an iranian holstein bull were thawed and centrifuged. motile sperms were separated through puresperm gradient (40/80%) followed by two ...

This paper describes our experiments in Geographical Information Retrieval with the Wikipedia collection in the context of our participation in the GikiCLEF 2009 Multilingual task in English and Spanish. Our system, called gikiTALP, follows a very simple approach that uses standard Information Retrieval with the Sphinx full-text search engine and some Natural Language Processing techniques with...

This paper introduces TALP, a speech-to-speech statistical machine translation system developed at the TALP Research Center (Barcelona, Spain). TALP generates translations by searching for the best scoring path through a Finite-State Transducers (FSTs), which models an Xgram of the bilingual language defined by tuples. A detailed description of the system and the core processes to train it from...

A hypo-osmotic swelling test using TALP-HEPES medium over a range of 50 to 300 mOsm/kg was applied to sperm from domestic and endangered species. Maximal responses of curling of the sperm tails were seen over a range of osmolalities for epididymal sperm from the pig (100 mOsm/kg), hamadryas baboon (range 50-125 mOsm/kg), and central rock rat (range 50-100 mOsm/kg), and the ejaculated sperm from...

This paper describes the architecture and results of the TALP system presented at the SENSEVAL-2 exercise for the English lexical–sample task. This system is based on the LazyBoosting algorithm for Word Sense Disambiguation (Escudero et al., 2000), and incorporates some improvements and adaptations to this task. The evaluation reported here includes an analysis of the contribution of each compo...
