This paper evaluates the different tasks carried out in the translation of pronominal anaphora in a machine translation (MT) system. The MT interlingua approach named AGIR (Anaphora Generation with an Interlingua Representation) improves upon other proposals presented to date because…

Objective: To explore the opinions of stakeholders on the potential of taxes or subsidies, as measures for tackling obesity in Europe. Design: Structured interviews using Multi-criteria Mapping, a computer based decision support tool. Subjects/Setting: 189 interviewees, drawn from 21 different…

Fianoniella stenognatha sp. n. from the Columbretes Islands (Castellón, Spain) is described and illustrated. The new species is distinguished by its longer and narrower mandibles with parallel or divergent rims in the apical half, wider clypeus, hind ocelli more separated…

Outsourcing, a management practice strongly consolidated within the area of Information Systems, is currently going through a stage of unstoppable growth. This paper makes a proposal about the main reasons which may lead firms to adopt Information Systems Outsourcing. It…

Two new species of Enclisis Townes, 1970 from Spain are described and illustrated: E. dichroma sp. n. and E. schwarzi sp. n. The new species are distinguished from the closest species E. infernator and E. ornaticeps by head and leg…

This paper has as its main aim to analyse how corporate web pages can become an essential tool in order to detect strategic trends by firms or sectors, and even a primary source for benchmarking. This technique has made it…

Numerical calculation of Fresnel patterns through fast Fourier transforms usually requires an extremely large number of samples in order to fulfil the Nyquist sampling condition. In many applications, the cut-off frequency of the system is much below the limit fixed…

Energy storage technologies provide an alternative solution to the problem of balancing power generation and power consumption. Redox flow cells are designed to convert and store electrical energy into chemical energy and release it in a controlled fashion when required.…

A new microwave assisted desolvation system based on the use of a TM010 cavity (MWDS2) has been developed and evaluated in plasma based analytical techniques: inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The…

This paper presents recent advances in the areas of modeling, design, and fabrication of microwave filters for space applications. A fast and accurate hybrid analysis method, combining boundary integral resonant mode expansion (BI-RME) and integral equation (IE) techniques, is described.…
