Feature Words Selection for Knowledge-based Word Sense Disambiguation with Syntactic Parsing

Feature words are crucial clues for word sense disambiguation. There are two methods to select feature words: window-based and dependency-based methods. Both of them have some shortcomings, such as irrelevant noise words or paucity of feature words. In order to solve the problems of the existing methods, this paper proposes two methods to select feature words with syntactic parsing, which are based on phrase structure parsing tree (PTree) and dependency parsing tree (DTree). With the help of syntactic parsing, the proposed methods can select feature words more accurately, which can alleviate the effect of noise words of window-based method and can avoid the paucity of feature words of dependency-based method. Evaluation is performed on a knowledge-based WSD system with a publicly available lexical sample dataset. The results show that both of the proposed methods are superior to window-based and dependency-based methods, and the method based on PTree is better than the method based on DTree. Both of them are preferred strategies to select feature words to disambiguate ambiguous words. Streszczenie.

Surgical treatment of hamstring injuries and disorders – the clinical spectrum from chronic tendinopathy to complete rupture

Lasse Lempainen Surgical treatment of hamstring injuries and disorders – the clinical spectrum from chronic tendinopathy to complete rupture Mehiläinen Sports Trauma Research Center, Turku, Finland Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology, University of Turku, Turku, Finland Department of Surgery, Satakunta Central Hospital, Pori, Finland Hamstring muscle injuries and tendon disorders are common, especially in sports. They can be severe and difficult to treat, often resulting in impaired athletic performance and long rehabilitation times. Previous studies considering treatment of these problems are scarce. The current study was designed to investigate the effect of surgery on different types of hamstring muscle injuries and on proximal hamstring tendinopathy. In addition, we wanted to study the typical histopathological findings relating to proximal hamstring tendinopathy. In the study of complete (all three muscles torn) proximal hamstring avulsions (41 patients), our results showed that early operative treatment gives significantly better results than late surgery, and is therefore recommended. Despite this, considerable improvement of symptoms could also be achieved in chronic cases. In the study of partial (one or two muscles torn) proximal hamstring tears (47 patients), we observed that these injuries can cause significant functional deficit and impaired performance in athletes. The main finding was that after surgical repair most of the patients were able to return to their pre-injury level of sports. In the study of distal hamstring tears (18 patients), the results showed that surgical treatment had a good effect in the majority of these cases. In proximal hamstring tendinopathy, the main problem is pain which limits sports. In this study (90 patients), we found that after unsuccessful conservative treatment, surgery was a good treatment option resulting in full return to sports in most cases. In tendinopathic hamstring tendons, the morphological changes of tendinosis were largely identical to those previously described in other common (e.g. Achilles and patellar) tendinopathies. In chronic proximal hamstring avulsions, and also in reoperations, a large defect between distally retracted tendons and the ischial tuberosity may occasionally prevent anatomic reinsertion. We have described a reconstruction method using fascia lata autograft augmentation to be used in these most challenging repairs. This technique was utilized in the treatment of five patients, with encouraging results.
PHEV battery ageing study using voltage recovery and internal resistance from On-board data

It is well known that batteries do not perform equally the first day of use than some years later. Their properties are in constant degradation, their capacity fades and the maximum power reduces. Batteries ageing has been widely studied under laboratory controlled conditions for different types of cells. In real life, however, every person has its own driving profile, which is almost unique and unpredictable, making the State of Health during real life cycles highly difficult to accurately estimate. This study presents a methodology for ageing estimation based on data extracted from on-board data-loggers installed in an electric vehicle. When a driver turns off the vehicle, the battery voltage slowly increases until it finally reaches the Open Circuit Voltage (OCV). It has been observed that the recovery voltage transition depends on the temperature and ageing, providing new elements to verify the battery State of Health. Keywords—Ageing, Battery, EV, PHEV, Lithium Ion, On-Board, SOH.
May 2012 Publisher: Asian Economic and Social Society Predicting Senior Secondary Schools Teachers' Social Intelligence by HEXACO-PI-R personality Traits based on Age Groups Soleiman Yahyazadeh-Jeloudar (Universiti of Mazandaran-Iran) Fatemeh Lotfi-Goodarzi (Ministry of Education-Iran- Babol) Citati

The present study examined the relationship between social intelligence and personality traits among senior secondary schools teachers in Iran based on a selected demographic variable (age). In this research, 198 teachers were chosen using random sampling. They completed Tromsø Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) and HEXACOPI-R personality traits questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients by means of SPSS version17. The findings of the study showed that there were significant differences between teachers’ social intelligence and their age groups. Further, there were positive and significant relationships between teachers’ social intelligence and six personality traits (honesty-humility, emotionality, extraversion, agreeableness (versus anger), conscientiousness and openness to experience). Also multiple regressions show that the three personality traits (extroversion, conscientiousness and openness to experience) explain 0.40 variance of social intelligence. It was concluded that personality traits are factors that have a considerable role in people social intelligence.
HAMILTONIAN SYSTEMS AND NOETHER’S THEOREM

This paper uses the machinery of symplectic geometry to make rigorous the mathematical framework of Hamiltonian mechanics. This framework is then shown to imply Newton’s laws and conservation of energy, thus validating it as a physical theory. We look at symmetries of physical systems in the form of Lie groups, and show that the Hamiltonian framework grants us the insight that the existence of a symmetry corresponds to the conservation of a physical quantity, i.e. Noether’s Theorem. Throughout the paper we pay heed to the correspondence between mathematical definitions and physical concepts, and supplement these definitions with examples.

Financial Valuation and Risk Management Working Paper No . 246 Dynamic General Equilibrium and T-Period Fund Separation

We consider a dynamic general equilibrium model in which we derive conditions for separating the savings decision from the asset allocation decision. It is shown that with logarithmic utility functions this separation holds for any heterogeneity of discount factors while the generalization to constant relative risk aversion only holds for homogeneous discount factors. Our results have simple asset pricing implications for the time series and also the cross section of asset prices. It is found that on data from the DJIA a risk aversion smaller than in the logarithmic case fits best.
Rectifiability and elliptic measures on 1-sided NTA domains with Ahlfors-David regular boundaries

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n\geq 2$, be 1-sided NTA domain (aka uniform domain), i.e. a domain which satisfies interior Corkscrew and Harnack Chain conditions, and assume that $\partial\Omega$ is $n$-dimensional Ahlfors-David regular. We characterize the rectifiability of $\partial\Omega$ in terms of the absolute continuity of surface measure with respect to harmonic measure. We also show that these are equivalent to the fact that $\partial\Omega$ can be covered $\mathcal{H}^n$-a.e. by a countable union of portions of boundaries of bounded chord-arc subdomains of $\Omega$ and to the fact that $\partial\Omega$ possesses exterior corkscrew points in a qualitative way $\mathcal{H}^n$-a.e. Our methods apply to harmonic measure and also to elliptic measures associated with real symmetric second order divergence form elliptic operators with locally Lipschitz coefficients whose derivatives satisfy a natural qualitative Carleson condition.
SELF REJECTION DURING POLLEN-PISTIL INTERACTIONS

Plants being sessile by nature have developed sophisticated mechanisms to assist in their selection of mating partners. During a compatible pollination event, pollen grains that have landed on the stigmatic surface at the top of the pistil will adhere to the stigmatic cells, hydrate, germinate and form pollen tubes. The actively growing pollen tubes are often capable of penetrating the stigmatic cell walls to grow down through the style and finally reach the ovary to deliver sperm for fertilization. In self-incompatible pollenpistil interactions, many of these steps may be blocked following the recognition of self-pollen. As a result, this response prevents inbreeding and promotes out-crossing between unrelated individual plants (reviewed in Lord and Russell, 2002).

Motion Tracking, Retrieval and 3D Reconstruction from Video

The work at hand presents a novel data-driven framework for 3D full body human motion reconstruction from uncalibrated monocular video data. To this end, we develop a knowledge base by taking 2D samples of the motion capture library from dierent viewing directions. This allows later steps to handle 2D query videos without any information on the viewing direction. We detect and track features from input video sequences by utilizing low-level image based feature detection techniques like MSER and SURF. This process is stabilized by back projection of high-level 3D prior information obtained from the motion capture library to the image plane. Extraction of suitable feature sets from both, input control signals and motion capture data, enables us to retrieve the best relevant prior poses from the motion capture library by employing fast motion retrieval techniques. Finally, 3D motion sequences are reconstructed by non-linear energy minimization, that takes into account multiple prior terms. Furthermore, we propose a method to estimate camera parameters from input video itself and sampling of motion capture library.
Decoupled Search for Proving Unsolvability

Decoupled State Space Search is a recently introduced method to handle the well-known state space explosion problem (Gnad and Hoffmann 2015; Gnad, Hoffmann, and Domshlak 2015). By exploiting the structure of the problem within the search – as opposed to doing that within a heuristic function guiding the search – the size of the decoupled state space can be exponentially smaller than that of the standard state space. Decoupled search achieves that by partitioning the task into several components, called factors, trying to identify a star topology, with a single center factor that interacts with multiple leaf factors. By enforcing such a star structure, and thereby simplifying the dependencies between the components, decoupled search has proved to be very efficient and able to compete with other state-of-the-art planners in both satisficing and optimal search. We have also seen good performance of decoupled search in the limited unsolvable benchmarks, available prior to this competition. Whether these results translate to the competition is mainly dependent on the structure of the used domains. Since the currently implemented method to identify factorings is only capable of detecting so-called X-shape profiles, we cannot perform decoupled search in absence of such structure. In such a case, we simply run standard search, instead. As a side remark, this limitation is merely due to the preliminary methods to identify suitable factorings. In general, every task has a star topology and can be tackled by decoupled search.
Resection A Surgery: An Exclusion Criterion of Adjuvant Treatment for Gastric Cancer

Purpose: We evaluated the clinical implication of Resection A surgery retrospectively to identify whether quality of surgery can be used as a selection factor for adjuvant therapy in patients with gastric cancer. Methods: Prognosis of 902 patients with gastric cancer who underwent Resection A surgery was evaluated. Results: Among all discharged patients, 77 patients (8.5%) died of recurrent disease, 55 patients (6.1%) died without recurrent disease. Five-year survival rate of all discharged patients was 91.6% and 10-year survival rate 87.1%. Statistically significant prognostic factors were depth of invasion (P＜0.001), lymph node metastasis (P＜ 0.001), stage (P＜0.001), tumor location (P=0.036) and size (P=0.001), extent of gastric resection (P＜0.001), and chemotherapy (P＜0.001) on univariate analyses. However, depth of invasion (P=0.001), lymph node metastasis (P＜0.001), and total gastrectomy (P＜0.001) emerged as statistically significant poor prognostic factor on a multivariate analysis. Adjuvant chemotherapy did not increase the survival rate of patients after Resection A surgery, even in patients with stage II disease. Conclusion: In selecting the patients for adjuvant therapy, both the stage of gastric cancer and the quality of
Measure of weak noncompactness and real interpolation of operators

A new measure of weak noncompactness is introduced. A logarithmic convexity-type result on the behaviour of this measure applied to bounded linear operators under real interpolation is proved. In particular, it gives a new proof of the theorem showing that if at least one of the operators T: Ai → Bi, i = 0, 1 is weakly compact, then so is T : Aθ,p → Bθ,p for all 0 < θ < 1 and 1 < P < ∞.
Independent Control of Rigidity and Toughness of Polymeric Hydrogels

Refined control over the mechanical properties of hydrogel-based materials has increased as these materials have found broader application. We investigated various aspects of gel cross-linking to independently regulate the elastic modulus (E) and toughness (W). Alginate hydrogels were chosen as a model system, since alginate can be gelled via ionic or covalent cross-linking, and its block structure dictates the structure of ionic cross-links. Increasing the density of covalent cross-links increased E but led to more brittle gels. In contrast, increasing the density of ionic cross-links and length of the blocks responsible for the cross-linking increased both E and W. Oscillatory shear measurements suggested that ionic cross-links and their length were important in dissipating the energy of deformation due to a partial and stepwise de-cross-linking. In contrast, covalently cross-linked gels underwent energy accumulation. This study demonstrates a novel approach to independently control different mechanical properties of gels.
Magnetic Induction Heating System

This paper proposes a magnetic induction heating system for producing localized hyperthermia by means of interaction between ferromagnetic implants and magnetic fields. The system consists of four main subsystems: a variable frequency and amplitude sine wave generator, a power amplifier, a central power supply and an induction coil. The system delivers an alternating magnetic field with a selectable magnetic (lux density peak value in the range of 1 mT to 22 mT and frequency varying from 600 Hz to 65 KHz. Characterization of each part of the system is performed and graphical results are shown. This system will be used to perform experimentation inducing hyperthermia in phantoms simulating several tissues which will be implanted with ferromagnetic materials and then exposed to alternating magnetic fields.
Stability Analysis of Part Time Investor Strategy in 10 Player Minority Game

The performance and stability of the part time investor strategy in the ten player minority game was investigated. For trials ranging in length from 10 rounds to 10 000 rounds, a parameter value was found that was able to provide a significant improvement in global wealth to the case where all agents picked at random. The part time investor strategy was found to be stable once it had become established, but not in the initial period of the trials.

Absolute Photoionization Cross Section Measurements of O II Ions from 29.7 to 46.2 eV

Absolute photoionization cross sections have been measured for a mixture of ground-state and metastable O II (O+) ions at photon energies ranging from 29.9 to 46.0 eV (414.7 to 269.5 Å). All measurements were performed by merging an O+ beam with synchrotron radiation from an undulator beam line at the Advanced Light Source (ALS). At a resolution of 17 meV, more than 70 spectral features have been resolved, most of them identified and characterized. These measurements are compared with two independent R-matrix calculations and the data in TOPbase. All three calculations agree within 25% on the direct photoionization cross section, and with the absolute measurements within 40%. Some differences are noted in the predicted resonance positions among the three close-coupling R-matrix calculations, the TOPbase data being the least accurate. The estimated total experimental uncertainty varies from 15% to 20%. Such measurements benchmark theoretical photoionization cross section calculations performed within the framework of the Opacity Project and the Iron Project.
Effects of Dietary Mannan Oligosaccharides (MOS) on Growth, Body Composition, and Intestine and Liver Histology of the Hybrid Tilapia (Oreoch romis niloticus x O. aureus)

This is the first study on the effects of dietary mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) on growth, body composition, and intestine and liver histology of hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus x O. aureus). Experimental diets were prepared from commercial trout diet, supplemented with MOS at levels of 0, 1.5, 3.0, or 4.5 g MOS/kg feed and randomly assigned to triplicate groups. At the end of the trial, there were no significant differences between treatment groups (p>0.05) in growth parameters (live weight gain, specific growth rate, feed conversion ratio, protein efficiency ratio) or body indices (hepatosomatic and viscerosomatic). Dry matter and protein contents increased with increasing rates of dietary MOS (p<0.05) while the mean villi length of fish fed the diet containing 1.5‰ MOS was significantly longer ( p<0.05) than that of the fish fed 4.5‰ dietary MOS. The different levels of dietary MOS had no detrimental effects on liver tissue or general fish health.
ROBUST CONTROL OF LINEAR SYSTEMS IN THE FREQUENCY DOMAIN

During the last decades robustness has been recognized as a key issue in the analysis and design of control systems. The history of robust control design based on small-gain-like robustness condition started developing with the pioneering work of Zames where robust control design problem has been formulated as an optimization problem. Only at the end of the 1980’s was found a practical solution to this problem. It is worth to mention some algebraic approaches which followed the seminal works of Kharitonov [khar], Bhattacharyya et al [bhata] and Barlet et al [barlet]. In this paper we focus our attention on two robust design problem. First the problem of robust stabilization of an uncertain single input-single output (SISO) plant described by the transfer function with linear or multi-linear interval systems is considered. Multiple-input-multiple output (MIMO) systems usually arise as an interconnection of a finite number of subsystems. In case of such systems practical reasons often make restrictions on controller structure necessary or reasonable. The controller split into several local feedbacks becomes a decentralized controller. With the come up of robust frequency domain approach in the 80’s several practice oriented techniques were developed, see [sko],[kozv]. The decentralized controller design comprises two steps: 1. selection of control configuration, 2. design of local controllers. In the second part of this paper we deal with the Step 2. The independent design approach has been adopted. In the independent design used in sequel local controllers are designed without considering interactions with other subsystems. In this paper a novel design technique is proposed to guarantee a required performance of the full system by applying the independent design to the equivalent subsystems.
