Multi-grained alignment of parallel texts

This paper deals with the spotting of multigrained translation equivalents from parallel corpora. The idea is to contribute to the processing of languages for which few linguistic resources are available. We especially pay attention to the handling of highly inflectional languages. Our approach is endogenous: it does not require external linguistic resources such as stemmers or taggers.
A Robotic Framework for Analyzing Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Algorithms using Robotic Operating System

This paper deals with the task of developing a robotic framework for analyzing Simultaneous Localization and Landmark Mapping (SLAM) algorithms using the Robotic Operating System (ROS). The robot capability to navigate in a mapped or unmapped indoor environment according to the identified landmarks. The Beagle bone single board computer (SBC) which runs the ROS platform reads the inputs using the Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensor, process the data and feeds the outputs signals to the motor controller of the autonomous mobile robot. The LiDAR sensor sends the data to the SBC as a binary data stream. The main purpose of the robot development is to the analysis of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms and identify their performance to apply to an autonomous outdoor grass cutting robot. For this research, a probabilistic robotics approach is used. It represents describing uncertainty using the calculus of probability theory. These probabilistic robotics algorithms represent information by probability distributions over a whole space of possible hypothesis. These probability algorithms enable to accommodate all the sources of uncertainty. SLAM algorithms are probabilistic algorithms. In this research, FastSLAM, and tinySLAM algorithms are usedand the aim is to test the accuracy of these algorithms when identifying landmarks of an unknown environment using ROS. For the localization and mapping of the robot, ROS Navigation Stack is used because the developed autonomous robot has a differential wheel and Navigation Stack is specially designed for these types of robots. It holds all the information of the sensors attached to the robot using Transform Frames (TF) software library. This software library manages the transform tree which has information about each sensor attached to the robot. Also, this robot has a 3D model in which real-time shows the motion and the scanned map of the environment. Real-time visualization is envisaged by using Robot Visualization (RViz) tool in the ROS. After scanning the area, the map of the scanned environment can be plotted and test the accuracy of the maps. Usually, the data that comes from LiDAR sensor is saved in ROS bag files in binary format.
The Paternal Cause of Abortion from The Viewpoint of Avicenna

http://jtim.tums. ac.ir Letter to the editor Spontaneous abortion or miscarriage is pregnancy loss from the time of conception to 20th week of ges tation. It is the mos t prevalent complication of pregnancy with a growing frequency [1]. If we add the loss of unrecognized or subclinical pregnancies into abortions after the clinical diagnosis of pregnancy, more than 50 to 60 percent of the conceptions are excreted, while the cause of 50% is not known. Approximately, 10–20% of women experience a non-consecutive spontaneous abortion at some time during their reproductive years. About 0.5–1% of pregnant women go through two or more consecutive pregnancy losses, a situation known as recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) or “Habitual Abortion” [2]. RPL is a multifactorial problem and needs careful attention and inves tigation. In modern medicine, the etiology of RPL is classified into maternal and paternal causes. The primary focus is on maternal causes, including genetics, endocrinological, anatomical and autoimmune disorders, infections, and sys temic maternal diseases [2]. Recently, more attention has been paid to paternal factors. Recent s tudies on paternal causes have yielded interes ting results. It has become known that karyotype abnormalities within each of the parental units will lead to miscarriage.

Effecting change in outpatient failed appointments.

The problem of failed appointments was addressed in a family practice clinic. This study borrows an approach toward increasing clinic attendance that has had consistent and positive results in mental health settings: pretherapy induction. The previsit induction was intended to prepare the patient for entry into a medical system, altering erroneous and unrealistic expectations of the patient, which, if left unaddressed, can lead to patient frustration and subsequent noncompliance. Four hundred sixty patients were each randomly assigned to one of three groups. One group viewed a 20-minute videotape introducing the clinic, its staff, and services, and how to utilize the staff during and outside office hours. A second experimental group received the same information in pamphlet form. The control group received no information about clinic function except that which was requested by the patient. Eleven months after onset of the study all patient charts were reviewed. Compared with both the no-treatment control group and the pamphlet experimental group, significantly fewer new patients viewing the induction videotape missed subsequent scheduled appointments (P less than .025). This same group had a significantly lower number of missed appointments during the study period (P less than .05).
Market Power in Retail Gasoline Markets

We estimate a structural model to uncover the degree of competition in retail gasoline markets using daily station-level data on quantity and price from the Swedish market. The structural model enables us to consider key features on both the demand and supply side that are important when evaluating retailers’ ability to obtain market power. Endowed with station-level information on service level, contractual form and number of nearby stations, we take into account the main drivers of differentiation in the local market. Our findings suggest that retailers in general exercise significant intermediate levels of market power. Further, local station characteristics significantly affect to which extent stations are able to extract market power. Results are robust to different estimation methods.
Title Page: Title of the paper: Genetic markers in a multi-ethnic sample for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia risk Running title: Genetic markers for childhood leukemia

Genome-wide association studies have identified multiple risk loci for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), but mostly in European/White populations despite Hispanics having a greater risk. We re-examined SNPs of known associations with childhood ALL and known HLA region lymphoma risk markers in a multi-ethnic population. Significant associations were found in two ARID5B variants (rs7089424 and rs10821936). We replicated a strong risk association in non-Hispanic White males with rs2395185, a protective marker for lymphoma. Another HLA region marker, rs2647012, showed a risk association among Hispanics only, while a strong protective association was found with rs1048456, a follicular lymphoma risk marker. Our study validated this new case-control sample by confirming genetic markers associated with childhood ALL, and yielded new associations with lymphoma markers. Despite positive results, our study did not provide any clues to why Hispanics have a higher susceptibility to childhood leukemia, suggesting that environmental factors may have a strong contribution.
Cloud-enabled Software-Defined Vehicular Networks: Architecture, Applications and Challenges

As one of the significant parts for Internet of Everything (IoE), vehicular networks provide network services for things in intelligent transport systems. In vehicular networks, vehicle can communicate with vehicles, pedestrians and infrastructures (Internet) by exploiting vehicle to everything (V2X) technologies. Nowadays, emerging applications in vehicular networks require more rich resources and more flexible management mode, while existing technologies of vehicular networks fail to provide these capacities. As two promising network technologies, cloud computing and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) are introduced to vehicular networks to solve these problems. In this paper, we introduce the development of cloud-enabled software-defined vehicular networks (cloud-enabled SDVNs) with focus on its architecture, applications and challenges. We discuss the technical advantages of cloud computing and SDN that can be applied to vehicular networks. The architectures of cloud-enabled SDVNs are presented and the components of the architectures are analyzed. We also provide an overview of some typical applications. In addition, discussion of challenges for using cloud computing and SDN for vehicular networks is presented.
Support for limited-preemptive fixed-priority scheduling

Fixed-priority preemptive scheduling (FPPS) has been the defacto standard used in industry for real-time systems for the past decades. Unfortunately, arbitrary preemptions during execution may lead to inefficient memory use and high run-time overheads. Fixedpriority scheduling (FPS) with limited preemptions (LP-FPS) has therefore been proposed in the literature as a viable alternative to FPPS, that reduces memory requirements, reduces the cost of arbitrary preemptions, and may improve the schedulability of a task set. In this paper, we propose to incorporate support for LP-FPS in next generation operating systems for cyber-physical systems, facilitating an evolution of systems. Even for the single processor case, there are still analytical research challenges, however.
Struggle for Acceptance - Maintaining External School Evaluation as an Institution in Germany

»Kampf um Anerkennung Die Stabilisierung externer Schulinspektionen als Institution in Deutschland«. In the educational field, evaluations based on standardised indicators play a major role in the determination of evidence-based regulations. To have an effect within a policy field, evaluations based on standardised indicators have to become institutionalised. Nevertheless, very little is known about the strategies that actors apply to institutionalise their procedure and whether these strategies are successful. This paper explores the strategies that German school inspectorates use to maintain external evaluations based on standardised indicators as an institution. The paper draws on educational governance research and institutional work. By conducting expert interviews with staff members of school inspectorates, I show which strategies are used to increase the acceptance by school representatives. Two strategies can be identified: school inspectors try to make less judgements and focus on descriptions of what they have observed (strategy I), and school inspectors give school representatives a greater say when formulating expectations for schools (strategy II). From a governance perspective, these strategies mean that school representatives are perceived as equal partners. They also imply that school representatives do not have to give up any of their autonomy, which is also a necessary condition for the institutionalisation of school inspec-
Perception
of General British monophthongs

The paper presents an experimental study on the perception of the General British monophthongs that was conducted in three stages in 2014–2018. The vowels observed are studied by (i) comparing the vowel systems of General British and Slovene, and (ii) by conducting an experiment on their perception. The analysis focuses on the participants’ overall performance, their most frequent misperceptions, and their progress over the course of one semester. The results indicate: that the previously observed production difficulties mirror perception difficulties; that the discriminative failures of FL vowels are not entirely predictable by comparing vowel systems; that new sound contrasts are assimilated in different ways; and that the participants’ perception of foreign language phonemes can benefit from explicit instruction.
THE MODERN STATUS OF THE VELIKAYA RIVER DELTA ON THE STATE OF PRIMARY PRODUCERS

Primary producers are an integral part of freshwater ecosystems. Phytoplankton forms the basis of the trophic pyramid, participates in the formation of water quality and acts as a sensitive indicator of the state of the reservoir. The ability of macrophytes to accumulate mineral and organic substances makes them active participants in the self-purification of natural waters. Higher aquatic plants are characterized by conservatism to short-term changes in the environment, but changes in vegetation over the years may indicate anthropogenic transformation of ecosystems. The contribution to maintaining the stability of the functioning and biodiversity of the ecosystem makes phytoplankton and macrophytes compulsory research objects aimed at studying the state of water bodies. The aim of the work was the study of primary producers as bioindicators of the ecological status of the Velikaya river delta in the summer of 2018. As a result, 127 phytoplankton taxa from 8 phylums were found: Chlorophyta, Bacillariophyta, Cyanobacteria, Euglenophyta, Chrysophyta, Dinophyta, Cryptophyta, Charophyta. The species richness was dominated by the Chlorophyta (42.5%), Bacillariophyta (25.2%), Cyanobacteria (11.1%). According to the ecological and geographical analysis of the delta algaflora, cosmopolitan, freshwater, planktonic forms of microalgae dominate, preferring neutral and weakly alkaline waters. Water quality assessment revealed the beta-mesosaprobic nature of the waters, which indicates moderate pollution of the water area. In the composition of macrophytes, 43 species from 3 phylums were identified: Magnoliophyta, Equisetophyta, Chlorophyta. By species composition, angiosperms dominated (95.3%), of which 46.3% were dicotyledons and 53.7% - monocotyledons. Hygrophytes (34.9%) and hydrophytes (32.6%) prevailed in terms of ecological structure. The leading role in the overgrowing of the delta belonged to high-grass helophytes and rooting hydrophytes with leaves floating on the water. A total of 37 saprobiont flora were found. The total index of saprobity was 277 points.
Pancreatic carcinoma: < or = 2 cm versus > 2 cm in size.

BACKGROUND Despite recent progress in diagnosis and therapy, the clinical course of patients with pancreatic carcinoma remains dismal. There have been several approaches to improve the clinical course of patients with pancreatic carcinoma, namely: (i) detection of small pancreatic carcinoma; (ii) radical resection with retroperitoneal clearance and portal vein resection; (iii) multidisciplinary therapy including chemoradiation; and so forth. METHODS In this series, eight Japanese patients with small pancreatic carcinoma measuring less than 2 cm in diameter (including two with non-invasive carcinoma and one with minimally invasive carcinoma) and 53 with larger pancreatic carcinoma were reviewed to find the diagnostic and therapeutic clues to improve the clinical course of patients with pancreatic carcinoma. RESULTS Lymphatic (ly) and perineural (pn) permeation was significantly more frequent and extensive in the 53 patients with large pancreatic carcinoma than in the eight with small pancreatic carcinoma (ly 0/1/2/3:3/24/18/8 versus 5/2/1/0, P = 0.0284; pn 011/2/3:4/29/14/6 versus 3/2/3/0, P = 0.0491). The surgical margin was affected by malignant cells in 18 (34%) of the 53 patients with large carcinoma but none (0%) of the eight with small carcinoma (P = 0.0004). The comprehensive stage was significantly earlier in the eight with small carcinoma than in the 53 with large carcinoma (comprehensive stage I/II/II/IV:4/0/3/1 versus 0/3/26/24, P < 0.0001). Comprehensive curability of the eight small carcinoma cases was significantly higher than that of the 53 large carcinoma cases (comprehensive curability A/B/C:5/3/0 versus 9/5/39; P = 0.0003). 1-year and 3-year cumulative survival rates of the eight patients with small carcinoma were 100% and 82%, whereas those of the 53 with large carcinoma were 51% and 17%, respectively (P = 0.0207). However, the eight small carcinoma cases already showed frequent invasion to the vascular (v), lymphatic (ly) and perineural (pn) structure [v(+): 3/8, ly(+): 5/8, pn(+):5 /8] and lymph node metastasis (n) [n(+): 3/8]. Out of the eight small pancreatic carcinomas, one minimally invasive carcinoma and two non-invasive carcinomas showed no vascular, lymphatic or perineural invasion or lymph node metastasis. All the three patients have been doing well 19, 32 and 44 months after the operation. The diagnostic clues in the three patients were dilatation of the main pancreatic duct in one and of the branch duct in the other two. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that surgical resection frequently cures patients with small pancreatic carcinoma but more effective adjuvant therapy should be developed to control lymphatic permeation, venous invasion or perineural infiltration in surgical resection of large pancreatic carcinoma. The supreme goal is to detect non-invasive or minimally invasive pancreatic carcinoma with a dilatation of the main or branch pancreatic duct as a diagnostic aid.
History, Physical Examination, and Laboratory Findings Associated with Infection and the Empiric Treatment of Gonorrhea and Chlamydia of Women in the Emergency Department

Background Neisseria gonorrhea (NG), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT), and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) are common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) treated in the emergency department (ED). Objectives To assess the history, physical examination, and laboratory findings associated with NG and CT infection and the decision to administer empiric antibiotic treatment for the diseases in the ED. Methods A retrospective review of 566 clinical encounters of adult female patients tested for STIs between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2014. An analysis of patient- and provider-level variables was assessed to determine the characteristics associated with empiric antibiotic treatment in the ED and post-discharge laboratory confirmed NG or CT. Results Younger age and the presence of TV on vaginal wet prep had a higher association with being infected with NG or CT (p < 0.05). Subjective exam findings, such as vaginal discharge, abdominal pain, urinary urgency, urinary frequency, dysuria, objective vaginal discharge, cervical motion tenderness, adnexal tenderness, vaginal bleeding, as well as positive leukocyte esterase and nitrites on urinalysis were all not associated with NG or CT infection (p > 0.05). ED providers were more likely to treat subjects in the ED for NG and CT when there was subjective and objective vaginal discharge, cervical motion tenderness, adnexal tenderness, and vaginal bleeding, TV on wet prep, and leukocyte esterase on urinalysis (p < 0.05). Conclusions Only younger age women and the presence of TV on vaginal wet prep were associated with NG or CT infection. ED providers empirically over-treated with antibiotics ~20 patients uninfected with NG and CT by laboratory confirmation, for every one patient with a laboratory confirmed infection.
Hypertension News-Screen: Twenty-four hour blood pressure-lowering effect of a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor in patients with diabetes and uncontrolled nocturnal hypertension Œ results from the randomized, placebo-controlled SACRA study

Background: The risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in salt-sensitive patients with diabetes mellitus and uncontrolled nocturnal hypertension is high. The SACRA (Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 [SGLT2] Inhibitor and Angiotensin Receptor Blocker [ARB] Combination Therapy in Patients With Diabetes and Uncontrolled Nocturnal Hypertension) study investigated changes in blood pressure (BP) with empagliflozin plus existing antihypertensive therapy. Methods: This multicenter, doubleblind, parallel study was conducted in Japan. Adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and uncontrolled nocturnal hypertension receiving stable antihypertensive therapy including angiotensin receptor blockers were randomized to 12 weeks’ treatment with empagliflozin 10 mg once daily or placebo. Clinic BP was measured at baseline and weeks 4, 8, and 12; 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring was performed at baseline and week 12; and morning home BP was determined for 5 days before each visit. The primary efficacy end point was change from baseline in nighttime BP (ambulatory BP monitoring). Results: One hundred thirty-two nonobese, older patients with well-controlled blood glucose were randomized (mean age 70 years, mean body mass index 26 kg/m2). Empagliflozin, but not placebo, significantly reduced nighttime systolic BP versus baseline (–6.3 mmHg; P = 0.004); betweengroup difference in change from baseline was –4.3 mmHg (P = 0.159). Reductions in daytime, 24-hour, morning home, and clinic systolic BP at 12 weeks with empagliflozin were significantly greater than with placebo (–9.5, –7.7, –7.5, and –8.6 mmHg, respectively; all P < 0.002). Between-group differences in body weight and glycosylated hemoglobin reductions were significant, but small (–1.3 kg and –0.33%; both P < 0.001).
