Constraints on the curvature power spectrum from primordial black hole evaporation

“…This scenario in the realistic framework of the inflationary attractors has been examined in Ref. [25]. In this case we find that…”

“…Actually, it is the low mass window, M • M , the most promising one for explaining the dark matter in the galaxies, according to the current observational constraints. Several inflation models that achieve the required P R (k) enhancement have been proposed the last years [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] putting forward new ideas and elaborating further earlier works [28][29][30][31][32][33]. The shape of the P R (k) at small scales is mainly constrained at a scale k • where the abundance of relic PBHs maximizes.…”

Defining a state-of-the-art POS-tagging environment for Brazilian Portuguese clinical texts

“…The availability of an efficient POS-tagger algorithm is essential since it can support the development of NLP and ML methods that aim to build useful information extraction and clinical decision support systems. Furthermore, supervised approaches demand annotated corpora, which are very difficult and time-consuming to build in a clinical context, due to well-known text issues (Dalianis, 2018) and the necessity of input from medical experts.…”

Setting up a Customized Electronic Health Record System Fit for Internal Medicine in Dakar, Senegal

“…It allowed the doctors to remember the story of their patients. Then followed the Greeks with Hippocrates, the father of medicine, who wrote careful notes of his patients about symptoms, appearance of the patient, social situation and other parameters to decide on the treatment [2]. The Arabs introduced the concept of hospital.…”

“…They were the first to keep written records of patients and their medical treatment, which were later edited by doctors and referenced in future treatment [3]. Later on, the first formal medical record system was developed in Sweden in 1752 and continuously refined until 1980 [2]. To keep, analyze and share information collected on everyday activity, databases are required, which necessarily implies computerization of the patient's record [4].…”
