The continuum theory of elasticity has been used for more than a century and has applications in many fields of science and engineering. It is very robust, well understood and mathematically elegant. In the isotropic case elastic properties are easily represented, but for non-isotropic materials, even in the simple cubic symmetry, it can be difficult to visualise how properties such as Young’s ...

Relation extraction tasks aim to predict potential relations between entities in a target sentence. As entity mentions have ambiguity sentences, some important contextual information can guide the semantic representation of improve accuracy relation extraction. However, most existing models ignore guidance and treat textual context sentence equally. This results low-accuracy extractions. To add...

The public-domain computer codes NRLXRF, developed at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), and NBSGSC, developed at the (then) National Bureau of Standards (NBS), were among the fust and most important early realizations of the fundamental parameters (FP) method of analyzing X-ray fluorescence @RF) spectra. However, it has been 20 years since NRLXRF was updated and more than 10 years since NBSG...

Abstract The Mediterranean cypress ( Cupressus sempervirens ) is an evergreen conifer that belongs to the Cupressaceae, which first plant family whose detailed evolutionary history traces break-up of supercontinent Pangaea roughly 150 million years ago. broad and deep economic socio-cultural significance species began in at least third millennium BCE. This interdisciplinary review highlights tr...
