Accuracy across label schemes

The headline accuracy is lexEN v1 · WordNet fine-grained. Each cell re-scores this run's predictions against a different gold label set and sense granularity; coarse counts a prediction correct when its WordNet sense maps to the same Glite or CSI concept as a gold sense.

Alimta is used to treat two types of cancer: pleural mesothelioma (cancer of the lining of the lungs that is usually caused by exposure to asbestos).

Alimta is used together with cisplatin (another anticancer medicine) when the cancer is unresectable (cannot be removed by surgery alone) and malignant (has spread, or is likely to spread easily, to other parts of the body), in patients who have not received chemotherapy (medicines for cancer) before advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer that is not affecting the squamous cells.

Alimta is used in combination with cisplatin in patients who have not been treated before, and on its own in patients who have received another type of chemotherapy in the past.

The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription.

How is Alimta used?

Alimta should only be given under the supervision of a doctor who is qualified in the use of anticancer chemotherapy.

The recommended dose of Alimta is 500 mg per square metre of body surface area (calculated using the patient s height and weight).

kalgebra main window consists in a Console tab, a 2D Graph tab, a 3D Graph tab and a Dictionary tab.

Below these tabs you will find an input field to type your functions or do your calculations.

The results of the studies showed that Cerenia was more effective than the placebo: less vomiting was seen in dogs that received the medicine than in dogs that received a placebo, both in the treatment or in the prevention of vomiting.

The treatment of a vomiting dog should be started with the injection, since vomiting animals might not be able to keep a tablet down (as they might throw the intact tablet up again).

For follow-up treatment, the animal owner can administer the tablets to the dog.

Also, the treatment of vomiting should only be together with other supportive measure or other veterinary therapy while addressing the underlying causes of the vomiting.

What is the risk associated with Cerenia?

Cerenia was generally well tolerated when administered daily at dosages up to 5 times the recommended doses for an extended period of time (up to 3 times the recommended maximum duration of treatment).

What are the precautions for the person who gives the medicine or comes into contact with the animal?

The art of change-ringing is peculiar to the English, and, like most English peculiarities, unintelligible to the rest of the world.

Dorothy L. Sayers, "The Nine Tailors "

ASLACTON, England --

Of all scenes that evoke rural England, this is one of the loveliest: An ancient stone church stands amid the fields, the sound of bells cascading from its tower, calling the faithful to evensong.

The parishioners of St. Michael and All Angels stop to chat at the church door, as members here always have.

In the tower, five men and women pull rhythmically on ropes attached to the same five bells that first sounded here in 1614.

Like most of the other 6,000 churches in Britain with sets of bells, St. Michael once had its own "band "of ringers, who would herald every Sunday morning and evening service.

Now, only one local ringer remains: 64-year-old Derek Hammond.

The others here today live elsewhere.

They belong to a group of 15 ringers -- including two octogenarians and four youngsters in training -- who drive every Sunday from church to church in a sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells sounding in the many belfries of East Anglia.

"To ring for even one service at this tower, we have to scrape, "says Mr. Hammond, a retired water-authority worker. "

We've tried to train the youngsters, but they have their discos and their dances, and they just drift away. "

Mr. Hammond worries that old age and the flightiness of youth will diminish the ranks of the East Anglian group that keeps the Aslacton bells pealing.

According to a nationwide survey taken a year ago, nearly a third of England's church bells are no longer rung on Sundays because there is no one to ring them.

It is easy to see why the ancient art is on the ropes.
