This PhD dissertation focuses on improving terminology extraction and alignment for applications in the translation industry. It explores three key use cases where these techniques benefit language professionals: creating client-specific terminology lists from large parallel corpora (i.e. translation memories), building domain-specific terminology resources from comparable corpora, and identifying important domain-specific …

Hydrogen is a promising energy carrier in the emerging green energy landscape. It is environmentally friendly, transportable, and storable. The Solid Oxide Cell (SOC) system is a complex technology that enables the bidirectional conversion of hydrogen to energy. The label SOC entails solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems, which produce …

Automatic terminology extraction, also known as automatic term extraction (ATE), is a natural language processing (NLP) task that identifies specialized terminology from domain-specific corpora. ATE is often used for terminographic tasks (e.g., the creation of specialized dictionaries) and contributes to several complex downstream tasks (e.g., machine translation and information retrieval). …

This dissertation examines two main topics. The first topic is focused on the potential of strontium (Sr) isotope analysis to characterise milk and truffles as selected food commodities, traditionally important for Slovenia. The 87Sr/86Sr ratio for determining the provenance of bovine milk and truffles originating from different regions of Slovenia …

RNA molecules dynamically interact with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), which control various aspects of RNA fate, such as its processing, localisation, and stability. Intricate networks of protein-RNA interactions thereby regulate gene expression and have a profound effect on downstream cellular processes. Most RBPs recognise specific motifs on their bound RNAs, characterised …

We are witnessing major shifts in ecosystems due to intense anthropogenic pressures on the environment in recent decades, including rapid climate change, which is one of the strongest drivers of a global biological response. Raptors, which are at the top of the trophic web, are important indicators of ecosystem health. …

The analysis of drug residues in waste and environmental waters offers valuable insights into the epidemiological and environmental implications of drug use. This study employs a wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) approach to estimate the use of licit and illicit drugs and new psychoactive substances (NPS) among both general and specific populations. …

A reduction in agricultural productivity associated with water scarcity and land degradation, combined with the growing world population and malnutrition highlights the need for new alternative food sources. In this challenging field, Spirulina microalgae emerges as a promising candidate thanks to its high nutritional value and beneficial effect on human …

Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry using MeV ions (MeV ToF SIMS) has been around for a few decades as a reliable, surface-sensitive method for the detection of molecular ions having masses up to 1000 Da. It provides excellent lateral resolution of a few μm for imaging of organic samples, making …

We are speeding full throttle towards a climate catastrophe and we have only until 2030 to take action to avoid the most devastating and unimaginable consequences. The lack of political and corporate will to change the status quo of “business as usual” is causing mass protests and civil disobedience globally. …
