In this paper, we present a hybrid method for semi-automatic building of domain ontology from spoken dialogue corpus in Tunisian Dialect for the railway request information domain. The proposed method is based on a statistical method for term and concept extraction and a linguistic method for semantic relation extraction. This method consists of three fundamental phases, namely the corpus const...

BACKGROUND The use of selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT) is rapidly increasing, and the need for quantification and dosimetry is becoming more widespread to facilitate treatment planning and verification. The aim of this project was to develop an anthropomorphic phantom that can be used as a validation tool for post-SIRT imaging and its application to dosimetry. METHOD The phantom de...

A case of incarcerated diaphragmatic hernia is present. Incarceration of the colon occurred five months following the original injury, causing intrapleural perforation. In addition, unsuspected free perforation of the colon was found in the peritoneal cavity.

Protocol review is important to decrease the risk of patient injury and increase the consistency of CT image quality. A large volume of CT protocols makes manual review labor-intensive, error-prone, and costly. To address these challenges, we have developed a software system for automatically managing and monitoring CT proto-cols on a frequent basis. This article describes our experiences in th...

A hip-bath and a good dose of laudanum having been first tried without advantage, several attempts Were made to pass a catheter into the bladder, but all without success. Some other means of relieving him then forced itself on my attention. At the time, especially as he was a young man with a small prostate, I would have preferred the puncture bv the re...

In this paper we propose a method for capturing and representing experiences in an asynchronous experience communication task that takes advantage of recent developments in mobile technology, in particular sensing technology, tangible interfaces and augmented reality. The method's key aspects are the reduction of the context space to non spatial context, the allowance for expressive user‐create...

As a result, while characterization of human variability in susceptibility to chemical toxicity i...
