Choosing polymer microspheres for carrying out the latex agglutination reaction in plates
Serological tests based on an agglutination reaction are commonly applied in clinical laboratories for the diagnosis of various infectious diseases. There is a wide selection of microsphere-based diagnostic agglutination tests (yes/no results) and assays

Implicit segmentation of Kannada characters in offline handwriting recognition using hidden Markov models [PDF]
We describe a method for classification of handwritten Kannada characters using Hidden Markov Models (HMMs). Kannada script is agglutinative, where simple shapes are concatenated horizontally to form a character. This results in a large number of characters making the task of classification difficult.

Unsupervised Language agnostic WER Standardization [PDF]
Word error rate (WER) is a standard metric for the evaluation of Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) systems. However, WER fails to provide a fair evaluation of human perceived quality in presence of spelling variations, abbreviations, or compound words arising out of agglutination.

Brucella suis in feral pigs in Australia: what is the risk?
In Australia, feral pigs (Sus scrofa) are the primary host for Brucella suis. The incidence of B. suis brucellosis in dogs in Queensland (QLD) and New South Wales (NSW) has increased, likely due to hunting and consumption of feral pig meat. This study aimed to update estimates of B.

BoAT v2 -- A Web-Based Dependency Annotation Tool with Focus on Agglutinative Languages [PDF]
The value of quality treebanks is steadily increasing due to the crucial role they play in the development of natural language processing tools. The creation of such treebanks is enormously labor-intensive and time-consuming. Especially when the size of treebanks is considered, tools that support the annotation process are essential. Various annotation

Utility of Lymph Node Aspiration in the Diagnosis of Visceral Leishmaniasis in Sudan. [PDF]
We evaluated lymph node aspiration (LNA) as a simple diagnostic procedure for visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Lymph node aspiration was compared with the direct agglutination test (DAT) using a diagnostic titer > or = 1:6,400 in 7,880 suspected VL patients ...
