A trie-based approach for compacting automata
2004
International audience; We describe a new technique for reducing the number of nodes and symbols in automata based on tries. The technique stems from some results on anti-dictionaries for data compression and does not need to retain the input string, differently from other methods based on compact automata. The net effect is that of obtaining a lighter automaton than the directed acyclic word graph (DAWG) of Blumer et al., as it uses less nodes, still with arcs labeled by single characters.

Pattern languages with and without erasing
1994
The paper deals with the problems related to finding a pattern common to all words in a given set. We restrict our attention to patterns expressible by the use of variables ranging over words. Two essentially different cases result, depending on whether or not the empty word belongs to the range. We investigate equivalence and inclusion problems, patterns descriptive for a set, as well as some complexity issues. The inclusion problem between two pattern languages turns out to be of fundamental theoretical importance because many problems in the classical combinatorics of words can be reduced to it.
On the performance of hybrid-ARQ with code combining over double rayleigh fading channels
2011
In this paper, we study the performance of hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) with code combining (CC) over double Rayleigh channels. This channel can be utilized to model the fading envelope of vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) channels. We derive analytical solutions for the characteristic quantities of double Rayleigh channels, such as the outage probability, the ergodic capacity, and the bit error probability (BEP). Moreover, we study the performance of HARQ with CC. Our analysis focuses on information theoretic aspects of HARQ with CC. closed-form analytical approximations are derived for the e-outage capacity, the average number of transmissions, and the average transmission rate of HARQ w…
The Expressibility of Languages and Relations by Word Equations
1997
Classically, several properties and relations of words, such as being a power of a same word, can be expressed by using word equations. This paper is devoted to study in general the expressive power of word equations. As main results we prove theorems which allow us to show that certain properties of words are not expressible as components of solutions of word equations. In particular, the primitiveness and the equal length are such properties, as well as being any word over a proper subalphabet.
A word prediction methodology for automatic sentence completion
2015
Word prediction generally relies on n-grams occurrence statistics, which may have huge data storage requirements and does not take into account the general meaning of the text. We propose an alternative methodology, based on Latent Semantic Analysis, to address these issues. An asymmetric Word-Word frequency matrix is employed to achieve higher scalability with large training datasets than the classic Word-Document approach. We propose a function for scoring candidate terms for the missing word in a sentence. We show how this function approximates the probability of occurrence of a given candidate word. Experimental results show that the proposed approach outperforms non neural network lang…
Response to 'TH1 and TH2 cytokine control of thyrocyte survival in thyroid autoimmunity'
2001
Mirakian et al. question our recent results, which suggest that thyrocyte survival during thyroid autoimmunity depends on differential effects of TH1 and TH2 cytokines1. Thyrocyte destruction in autoimmune thyroiditis is a slow process that lasts several years. We hypothesized that in thyroid autoimmunity the balance between life and death in thyrocytes depends on the predominance over the time of TH2 and TH1 cytokines, whose action is not restricted to immune cells but involves direct modulation of key molecules responsible for survival or death of target cells1.
Factores de riesgo en mujeres en situación de perimenopausia y menopausia y su prevención
2023
Las mujeres permanecen más de la tercera parte de su vida en estado de perimenopausia o menopausia y esta situación se ha asociado con aumento de los Factores de Riesgo Cardiovascular (FRCV) y del Síndrome Metabólico (SM), cuya progresión está relacionada con el tiempo de menopausia y estilos de vida. Así pues, los objetivos del presente estudio fueron determinar la presencia de FRCV: hipertensión arterial, dislipemia, exceso ponderal y composición corporal, en mujeres en menopausia o perimenopausia, así como estimar el aumento de grasa visceral en este periodo y su correlación con los FRCV. También, se investigó sobre el efecto de la práctica de ejercicio físico y la realización una dieta …
Activity-based Management in France: A focus on the information systems department of a bank
2011
International audience; The aim of the paper is to describe the Activity-based Costing and Management methods applied in France. For that purpose, we use a literature review and a case study. In a first time, we analyse the origins of the methods and their diffusion. Then we present the French situation. Finally, we propose a case study that takes place in a French bank. Our paper shows that the ABC and ABM methods are as developed in France as in the Anglo-Saxon countries and that the methods are strategically oriented.
Serine/Threonine Phosphatase Inhibitors Decrease Adrenergic Arylalkylamine N -Acetyltransferase Induction in the Rat Pineal Gland
2001
Adrenergic regulation of the pineal enzyme serotonin N-acetyltransferase [arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferase (AA-NAT); EC 2.3.1.87] accounts for the circadian rhythm in melatonin formation. In the present study, the role of protein phosphatases in the adrenergic regulation of rat pineal AA-NAT was investigated using specific inhibitors. In cultured pineals, the serine/threonine phosphatase type 1 and type 2A inhibitors okadaic acid and calyculin A significantly decreased adrenergically or cAMP-induced AA-NAT activity, whereas the serine/threonine phosphatase type 2B inhibitor cypermethrin and tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor dephostatin were ineffective. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain…
