This paper describes a method of detecting speechrepairs that uses a part-of-speech tagger. The tagger is given knowledge about category transitions for speechrepairs, and so is able to mark a transition either as a likely repair or as fluent speech. Other contextual clues, such as editing terms, word fragments, and word matchings, are also factored in by modifying the transition probabilities.

BACKGROUND The optimal method for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is not yet known. The hypothesis of the present study was that a double-row repair would demonstrate superior static and cyclic mechanical behavior when compared with a single-row repair. The specific aims were to measure gap formation at the bone-tendon interface under static creep loading and the ultimate strength and mode of ...

This paper treats the replacement problems with incomplete repairs. In many papers, replacement problems have been studied under the assumption of minimal repairs or complete repairs, and not considered the number of failures as the deteriorating measure of units. In this paper, we introduce and formalize som., basic model as an approach to that case. In the basic model it is shown that a non·r...

BACKGROUND Scaffolds continue to be developed and used for rotator cuff repair augmentation, but clinical or biomechanical data to inform their use are limited. We have developed a reinforced fascia lata patch with mechanical properties to meet the needs of musculoskeletal applications. The objective of this study was to assess the extent to which augmentation of a primary human rotator cuff re...

We present SPR, a new program repair system that uses condition synthesis to instantiate transformation schemas to repair program defects. SPR’s staged repair strategy combines a rich space of potential repairs with a targeted search algorithm that makes this space viably searchable in practice. This strategy enables SPR to successfully find correct program repairs within a space that contains ...

We consider the problem of outsourcing warranty repairs to outside vendors when items have priorities in service. The manufacturer has a contract with a fixed number of repair vendors. The manufacturer pays a fixed fee for each repair done by a vendor which is independent of the repair type and priority class but depends on the vendor. There are a fixed number of items under warranty, and each ...
