The great majority of Information Extraction tools can be applied to English texts only as the syntactic algorithms are tailored for this language. Moreover, the rare multilingual applications present in literature are not appropriate for real time applications. With the objective of providing non-English languages with tools that are necessary...

Extracting key concepts from clinical texts for indexing is an important task in implementing a medical digital library: improving the access to quality information on health for both the patient and health professionals contributes to the reduction of medical errors and to increasing safety and efficiency; while the creation of a semantically...

The computerization of hospital systems has traditionally been incremental in manner, over the years, various computer systems have been linked together. Frequently, however, a hospital utilizes computer systems from multiple vendors. One reason is that various hardware and/or human systems are provided with their own computerized systems...

Due to new medical discoveries in the last century, the culture of prevention has gained increasing importance in developed countries; but frequently, high quality information is submerged by many other unsafe sources. Moreover, reliable resources are often contained in databases of highly structured organizations that, even if deploy them by...

Nature conservation can be considered a social movement that proposes itself to develop or reaffirm in the society some value concerning the relationship between man and nature. Our methods links the hierarcal clustering procedures with the Indicator Values calculation, defining an optimum number of endemic areas maximizing the species indicator values.

The Maritime Alps were identified by Médail and Quézel as one of the ten maximum biodiversity Mediterranean areas, and following studies have confirmed their significance and major characteristics. This southern parte of the Alpine chain is distributed both on the Italian and French territory. With the development of European community policies...

Prevention is the best method to reduce chronic and degenerative diseases and also death, above all in the workplace and in Non Communicable Diseases; as detailed updated evidence has established.The main aim is to improve the prevention culture in all environments, above all in the workplace; the utilization of Information Technology proposals...

Prime note sulla costituzione di una banca dati di inflormazioni floristiche nelle Alpi Marittime per permettere analisi biogeografiche

Nature conservation can be considered a social movement that proposes itself to develop or reaffirm in the society some values concerning the relationship between man and nature. Conservation biology is driven by the same motivations but is distinguished from the nature conservation movement; it is a scientific discipline the aim of which is to...

The outlook to use crop residues, cover crops and plant residues with high content of allelochemicals into the soil, as well as extracts of allelopathic plants, can provide selective weed control through the release of allelochemicals [1-3] and can contribute to the maintenance and the development of sustainable agro-ecosystems. As Salvia...

Abstract: In order to define the phytotoxic potential of Salvia species a database was developed for fast and efficient data collection in screening studies of the inhibitory activity of Salvia exudates on the germination of Papaver rhoeas L. and Avena sativa L.. The structure of the database is associated with the use of algorithms for...

A screening study on the anti-germination activity of the fresh aerial part plant exudates of thirteen species of Salvia L.(Lamiaceae) against Papaver rhoeas L. and Avena sativa L. in Petri dish and pot experiments, evaluated on the basis of statistical indices both classical ones [1, 2] and proposed by our group has been carried out. All...

Due siti web , nati dalla collaborazione tra Istituto Superiore di Sanità, Fondazione Gaslini e Università di Genova, diffondono notizie "attendibili" su sicurezza sul lavoro e tumori.

A study on thirteen Salvia species about the phytotoxicity of their aerial part exudates is reported. The selected species were: Salvia namaensis Schinz (1), Salvia fallax Fernald (2), Salvia disermas L. (3), Salvia chamaedryoides Cav. (4), Salvia confertiflora Pohl. (5), S. x jamensis J.Compton (6), Salvia buchananii Hedge (7), S. wagneriana...
