Work on both the graphical user interface (GUI) and the conversational user interface (CUI) started at about the same time, about 40 years ago. The GUI was a lot easier to implement, and it made computing and information resources available to ordinary people—but over the years it has lost much of its simplicity and charm. The CUI has taken many more years to develop, requiring major scientific...

We present our participation in Task 2 of the 2013 CLEFeHEALTH Challenge, whose goal was to determine the UMLS concept unique identifier (CUI), if available, of an abbreviation or acronym. We hypothesize that considering only the abbreviations of the training corpus could be sufficient to provide a strong baseline for this task. We therefore test how a fully supervised approach, which predicts ...

Solvothermal reactions of CuI with isopropanol, 4,4'-bipyridine, I(2) and a small amount of water in MeCN produced one coordination compound [isopropylviologen][CuI(3)] (isopropylviologen = N,N'-diisopropyl-4,4'-bipyridinium) (1). The dielectric constants of the single crystal of 1 along the three crystal axes are different with the largest diversity ratio of ∼3.3, showing dielctric anisotropic...

Stressors associated with human activities interact in complex ways to affect marine ecosystems, yet we lack spatially explicit assessments of cumulative impacts on ecologically and economically key components such as marine predators. Here we develop a metric of cumulative utilization and impact (CUI) on marine predators by combining electronic tracking data of eight protected predator species...

Submitted for the MAR11 Meeting of The American Physical Society The layer-by-layer growth of ferromagnetic τ phase MnAl thin films by Bias Target Ion Beam1 YISHEN CUI, WENJING YIN, JIWEI LU, STUART WOLF, Univ of Virginia — It is well known that the metastable τ phase of MnAl has a L10 structure (chemical ordering along [001] directions) and is the only ferromagnetic phase of this binary interm...

Questo paper presenta i primi esiti di un progetto di ricerca ancora in corso che mira a esplorare nuove forme di scrittura e rappresentazione etnografica. In particolare, la diffusione di tecnologie e pratiche di geo-tagging ha consentito di creare una piattaforma mediale plurale, in cui le tante soggettività che hanno osservato un complesso rituale funerario Bororo (nel Mato Grosso brasiliano...
