One of the major obstacles for knowledge management remains MultiWord Terminology (MWT). This paper explores the difficulties that arise and describes real world solutions implemented as part of the Parmenides project. Parmenides is being built as an integrated knowledge management package that combines information, MWT and ontology extraction methods in a semi-automated framework. The focus of...

Mallory-Weiss tears (MWTs) are mucosal lacerations caused by forceful retching and are typically located at the gastroesophageal junction. Reported cases of MWT with serious complications seen in esophagogastroduodenoscopy are limited. We report MWT in an 81-year-old woman who presented with gastric perforation by esophagogastroduodenoscopy. We discuss and indicate that hiatal hernia, atrophic ...

AbstractThe Researchers uses Satellite images for their Research work in many fields. The Satellite images have issues with their resolution. So, the images which loses their high frequency contents. And they appeared as blurred image. This paper proposes a resolution enhancement technique called Multi Wavelet Transform (MWT). This technique obtains the interpolation of high frequency sub bands...

BACKGROUND Quality of life is as important as survival in heart failure (HF) patients. Controversies exist with regards to echocardiographic determinants of exercise capacity in HF, particularly in patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The aim of this study was to prospectively examine echocardiographic parameters that correlate and predict functional exercise capacity assessed by ...

Automatic Multi-Word Term (MWT) extraction is a very important issue to many applications, such as information retrieval, question answering, and text categorization. Although many methods have been used for MWT extraction in English and other European languages, few studies have been applied to Arabic. In this paper, we propose a novel, hybrid method which combines linguistic and statistical a...

MOTIVATION In searching for differentially expressed (DE) genes in microarray data, we often observe a fraction of the genes to have unequal variability between groups. This is not an issue in large samples, where a valid test exists that uses individual variances separately. The problem arises in the small-sample setting, where the approximately valid Welch test lacks sensitivity, while the mo...

BACKGROUND To assess in a laboratory setting the ability to stay awake in a sample of workers of an Italian hospital and to investigate the association between that ability and the risk of occupational injury. METHODS Nine workers at the University Hospital of Udine who reported an occupational injury in the study period (cases), and seven noninjured workers (controls) underwent a polysomnogr...

Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), a key component of the innate immune system, is linked to inflammation and myocardial dysfunction after ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R). Treatment of the heart with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is known to improve myocardial recovery after I/R in part by paracrine factors such as VEGF. However, it is unknown whether TLR2 activation on the MSCs affects MSC-mediate...
