Swertia mussotii Franch. (SM) (Gentianaceae) was a traditional Tibetan folk herb for hepatitis in the Qinghai-Tibet plateau areas. For understanding the hepatoprotection and toxicity characteristics of Swertia mussotii Franch., the whole plant of Swertia mussotii was extracted by water (SME-b) and 75% ethanol (SME-a); then, SME-a was dissolved with water, the supernatant was SME-c, and the sedi...

We continue our previous work on soft margin estimation (SME) to large vocabulary continuous speech recognition (LVCSR) in two new aspects. The first is to formulate SME with different unit separation. SME methods focusing on string-, word-, and phonelevel separation are defined. The second is to compare SME with all the popular conventional discriminative training (DT) methods, including maxim...

OBJECTIVES To compare transverse skeletal changes produced by rapid (RME) and slow (SME) maxillary expansion using low-dose computed tomography. The null hypothesis was that SME and RME are equally effective in producing skeletal maxillary expansion in patients with posterior crossbite. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION This study was carried out at the Department of Oral Sciences, University of ...

Secure multi-execution (SME) is a dynamic technique to ensure secure information flow. In a nutshell, SME enforces security by running one execution of the program per security level, and by reinterpreting input/output operations w.r.t. their associated security level. SME is sound, in the sense that the execution of a program under SME is non-interfering, and precise, in the sense that for pro...

Situational Method Engineering (SME) addresses the need for custom-built software development methodologies that are tailored to fit specific project situations. A process pattern is a description of a recurring development process fragment that can be used as a generic model or a building block for engineering development processes. Software development process patterns are extensively used in...
