In this paper we propose a method to improve the quality of extractive summarization for contact center dialogues in various domains by making use of training samples whose domains are different from that of the test samples. Since preparing sufficient numbers of training samples for each domain is too expensive, we leverage references from many different domains and employ the Augmented Space ...

an ex-situ experiment to assess the metal extractive potential of fourteen agriculture plants (vigna unguiculata, gossypium hirsutum, jatropha curcas, etc.) was conducted on magnesite mines which had above permissible levels of cadmium and lead. there was no much difference in the total chlorophyll a and b, carbohydrate and protein contents in the plants grown in the mining soil and adjacent co...

A new approach to control structure analysis and design for nonlinear multivariable systems is proposed in this paper. By integrating the concept of gap metric, factorial design and multivariate projection methods, a systematic analysis of control structures, operating conditions and operating regime based control strategies can be established. The application to an extractive fermentation proc...

An extractive bioconversion with Bacillus cereus cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase, EC 2.4.1.19) in aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) was investigated for the synthesis and recovery of cyclodextrins (CDs). Optimum condition for the extractive bioconversion of CDs was achieved in ATPS consisted of 7.7% (w/w) polyethylene glycol (PEG) 20,000 and 10.3% (w/w) dextran T500 with volume ratio (VR...

We study a model of institutions that evolve through con ict. We nd that one of three con gurations can emerge: an extractive hegemony, a balance of power between extractive societies or a balance of power between inclusive societies. As extractive societies are assumed to have an advantage in head to head confrontations we refer to the latter possibility as the survival of the weakest. Our con...

Ionic liquids (IL) and hyperbranched polymers (HyP) represent new classes of nonvolatile selective solvents. By measuring vapor-liquid equilibria (VLE) of azeotropic and close boiling systems in the presence of ionic liquids or hyperbranched polymers, separation factors are derived and the potential of using IL and HyP as entrainer for extractive distillation is discussed. Exemplarily, the supe...

The structure of thermally coupled distillation systems offers several control challenges arising from the transfer of vapor (or liquid) streams between columns. In particular, the presence of recycle streams for coupled schemes has led to the notion that control problems might be expected during the operation of these systems, in contrast to the rather well-known behavior of conventional disti...
