LEMON MONARDA (GREENERY) – STANDARD

Acoustic evaluation of modular greenery noise barriers

Green noise barriers have become an alternative means of reducing urban traffic noise. In this paper, the acoustic performance of a modular greenery noise barrier is evaluated. In situ measurements of noise reflection were performed using an experimental prototype to estimate the sound absorption coefficients. These coefficients were found to have values of approximately 0.7, higher than those ...

Squeezing LEMON with GATE

An increasing number of enterprises are beginning to include ontologies into Text Analytics (TA) applications. This can be challenging for a TA group wishing to avail of such technologies due to the manual effort needed to map language resources within a TA system for a new domain. Ontology lexicalization offers a solution to this problem by seeking to automatically generate lexical resources i...

Stewardship of Urban Greenery in an Era of Global Urbanisation

Urban greenery remains the bastion of urban landscape and a key to sustainable development due to its integral connections to the general health and wellbeing of urban residents. However, in an era of rapid urbanisation, recent studies indicate that urban greenery, especially ecologically sensitive areas, in many African cities is becoming increasingly depleted. Given the scale and rate of natu...

Ontology Lexicalisation: The lemon Perspective

Ontologies (Guarino1998) capture knowledge but fail to capture the structure and use of terms in expressing and referring to this knowledge in natural language. The structure and use of terms is the concern of terminology as well as lexicology. In recent years, the relevance of terminology in knowledge representation has been recognized again (for example the advent of SKOS1) but less considera...
