This paper deals with the quality evaluation (validation) of Spoken Language Resources (SLR). The current situation in terms of relevant validation criteria and procedures is briefly presented. Next, a number of validation issues related to new data formats (XMLbased annotations, UTF-16 encoding) are discussed. Further, new validation cycles that were introduced in a series of new projects like...

ν = q · P M = E − E is the lepton’s energy loss in the nucleon rest frame (in earlier literature sometimes ν = q · P ). Here, E and E′ are the initial and final lepton energies in the nucleon rest frame. Q = −q2 = 2(EE′−−→k · −→k )−ml −ml′ where ml(ml′) is the initial (final) lepton mass. If EE′ sin(θ/2) ≫ m2l , m2l′ , then ≈ 4EE′ sin(θ/2), where θ is the lepton’s scattering angle with respect ...

This lagrangian is, of course, invariant under SO(N), rotations of φ in the N dimensional internal space. φj(x) → Ojkφk(x), with O an orthogonal matrix, which leaves ∑ φ invariant. Notice that the mass term has the wrong sign. Had that sign been minus, with a + in the potential energy, the potential’s absolute minimum would have been at ~ φ = 0, the classical vacuum would be at ~ φ = 0, and the...

The aim of this article is to review current knowledge related to the synthesis and characterization of sol gel-derived SBA-16 mesoporous silicas, as well as a review of the state of the art in this issue, to take stock of knowledge about current and future applications. The ease of the method of preparation, the orderly structure, size and shape of their pores and control, all these achievable...

As per the present available information, there is a discrepancy regarding the total number of exons present in MUC16 genomic DNA. This discrepancy is due to the absence/presence of some of the genomic sequences (particularly for the repeat regions) in the available genomic databases. The terminal nine exons on both 5' and 3' ends code for the aminoand carboxyterminal domains of MUC16, respecti...

Mathematical methods are being increasingly employed in the efficiency calibration of gamma based systems for non-destructive assay (NDA) of radioactive waste and for the estimation of the Total Measurement Uncertainty (TMU). Recently, ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) released a standard guide for use of modeling passive gamma measurements. This is a testimony to the common use...

In this study, an amide-functionalized metal-organic framework, namely TMU-24 was selected to adsorb Co(II) from wastewater with an adsorption capacity of 500 mg. g-1 in less than 20 minutes in neutral pH (pH=7). The effect of diverse parameters such as adsorbent dosage, competitive ions, and contact time on the adsorption process was investigated to find the optimal amounts of them. Also, the ...
