In this paper, we propose a tree annotation tool using a parser in order to build a treebank. For the purpose of minimizing manual effort without any modification of the parser, it performs twophase parsing for the intra-structure of each segment and the inter-structure after segmenting a sentence. Experimental results show that it can reduce manual effort about 24.5% as compared with a tree an...

In this study, we use least square support vector machines (LSSVM) to construct a credit scoring model and introduce conjoint analysis technique to analyze the relative importance of each input feature for making the decision in the model. A test based on a real-world credit dataset shows that the proposed model has good classification accuracy and can help explain the decision. Hence, it is an...

We show that stable cones for the one-phase free boundary problem are hyperplanes in dimension 4. As a corollary, both one and two-phase energy minimizing hypersurfaces are smooth in dimension 4.

Residual tests for sufficient model orders are based on the assumption that prediction errors are white when the model is correct. If an ARMAX system has zeros in the MA part which are close to the unit circle, then the standard predictor can have large transients. Even when the correct model is used there will be large correlations in the transient phase. In this case the standard residual tes...

Four multiphase flow models or correlations (Duns & Ros, Hagedorn & Brown, Orkiszewski, and Beggs & Brill) are currently available in Hydra for predicting the pressure profile in a well. The range of applicability of the multiphase flow models is dependent on several factors such as, tubing size or diameter, oil gravity, gas-liquid ratio, and, two-phase flow with or without water-cut. The effec...

We study minimizers of the functional ∫ B 1 |∇u|xn dx+ 2 ∫ B′ 1 (λ+u + + λ−u −) dx′, for a ∈ (−1, 1). The problem arises in connection with heat flow with control on the boundary. It can also be seen as a non-local analogue of the, by now well studied, two-phase obstacle problem. Moreover, when u does not change signs this is equivalent to the fractional obstacle problem. Our main results are t...

1 I n t r o d u c t i o n Multifingered robot hands have potential advantages in performing various tasks with the dexterity of human hands. While much research has been done on multifingered robot hands, most of works have implicitly assumed that a multifingered hand manipulates only one object. Under such a condition, severn grasping issues have been studied. Let us now consider the case wher...
