Actual sewage treatment relies on conventional activated sludge (CAS), which reaches sufficiently low carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus effluent levels, but is not cost-effective, hardly achieves recovery, requires electricity equivalent to a fossil fuel consumption of 85 kWh per inhabitant equivalent (IE) per year and has an operational CO2 footprint of 80 kg CO2 IE year. Projected water and pho...

Open Information Extraction (OIE) systems extract relational tuples from text without requiring to specify in advance the relations of interest. Systems perform well on widely used metrics such as precision and yield, but a close look at systems output shows a general lack of informativeness in facts deemed correct. We propose a new evaluation protocol, based on question answering, that is clos...

Open IE methods extract structured propositions from text. However, these propositions are neither consolidated nor generalized, and querying them may lead to insufficient or redundant information. This work suggests an approach to organize open IE propositions using entailment graphs. The entailment relation unifies equivalent propositions and induces a specific-to-general structure. We create...

This paper presents a novel algorithm for the acquisition of Information Extraction patterns. The approach makes the assumption that useful patterns will have similar meanings to those already identified as relevant. Patterns are compared using a variation of the standard vector space model in which information from an ontology is used to capture semantic similarity. Evaluation shows this algor...

SUMMARY IE-Kb (Intron Exon-Knowledge base) illustrates the intron-exon dynamics in eukaryotic genes. We have developed three different knowledge sets, namely 'Non-redundant ExInt', 'Non-redundant Pfam-ExInt complement' and 'Non-redundant GenBank eukaryotic subdivisional sets' to understand this phenomenon. Statistical analysis is performed on each knowledge set and the results are made availabl...

dans cet article, l'auteur tudie la creation d'une voie ferre interurbaine, de la banlieue ou urbaine, et essaie de d6terminer le nombre optimal de stations pour une longueur donnee de la ligne; compte tenue d'une repartion du trafic, ie long de la ligne en question qui est suppose etre connue. le critere d'optimalisation est le temps total perdu par l'ensemble des usag...

dans cet article i' intervalle entre deux trains successifs a ete etudie en fonction de leur vitesses dans deux cas differents. dans ie premier cas ,on suppose que la vitesse des deux trains a une valeur constante, et on etudie les variations de l'intervalle minimum en fonction de la vitesse on determine la vitesse optimale et on etudie les variations de l'intervalle minimum en f...

background: molecules expressed on the surface of infected erythrocytes (ie) with plasmodium falci-parum play important roles in malaria pathogenesis and immune evasion. some of these molecules are specific adhesive ligands mediating adhesion of ie to the vascular endothelium. in the current study, the antigens exposed on the surface of ie with different isolates and various binding subpopulati...
