Abstract The identification of reliable terms from domain-specific corpora using computational methods is a task that has to be validated manually by specialists, which highly time-consuming activity. To reduce this effort and improve term candidate selection, we implemented the Token Slot Recognition method, filtering method based on terminological tokens used rank extracted candidates corpora...

PURPOSE Health care organizations have to improve their performance for multiple stakeholders and organize integrated care. To facilitate this, various integrated quality management models can be used. This article reviews the literature on the Malcolm Baldrige Quality Award (MBQA) criteria, the European Foundation Quality Management (EFQM) Excellence model (Excellence award models) and the Chr...

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are indicators for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. In this work, a new integrated microfluidic system capable of un-biased and sensitive “negative” enrichment of CTCs was developed. By using anti-human CD45 coated magnetic beads, leukocytes were removed by external magnetic force, leaving behind an enriched target cell population. The results demonstrated that the...

Recent studies have shown that past selection history affects the allocation of attention on target selection. However, it is unclear whether context-driven selection history can modulate the efficacy of attention allocation on working memory (WM) representations. This study tests the influences of selection history on WM capacity. A display of one item (low load) or three/four items (high load...

in this study, a prediction model based on support vector machines (svm) improved by introducing a volume weighted penalty function to the model was introduced to increase the accuracy of forecasting short term trends on the stock market to develop the optimal trading strategy. along with vw-svm classifier, a hybrid feature selection method was used that consisted of f-score as the filter part ...

the current study was conducted to investigate the effect of short-term divergent selection on the shape growth curve in different lines of japanese quail. the quail lines utilized in this study were two divergently selected for high (hw) and low (lw) 4-wk body weight during 7 generation and also a control line (c). the richard function parameters were used to describe growth curves of differen...

Perceptual grouping can lead observers to perceive a multielement scene as a smaller number of hierarchical units. Past work has shown that grouping enables more elements to be stored in visual working memory (WM). Although this may appear to contradict so-called discrete resource models that argue for fixed item limits in WM storage, it is also possible that grouping reduces the effective numb...

We examined the relationship between the attentional selection of perceptual information and of information in working memory (WM) through four experiments, using a spatial WM-updating task. Participants remembered the locations of two objects in a matrix and worked through a sequence of updating operations, each mentally shifting one dot to a new location according to an arrow cue. Repeatedly ...
