“Hybrid Cloud Storage” (HCS) is a widely adopted framework that combines the functionality of public and private cloud storage models to provide services. This kind especially ideal for organizations seek reduce cost their infrastructure with use “Public as backend on-premises primary storage. Despite higher performance, hybrid has latency issues, related distance bandwidth storage, which may c...

The present study aims at investigating the effect of different levels of lexical collocational density on EFL learners’ reading comprehension. Eighty sophomore students with different levels of proficiency studying at  Zand Institute of Higher Education in Shiraz, Iran were chosen from among eighty five learners based on their score distribution on a reduced TOEFL test constructed by Education...

Accurate analysis of the temporal expression is crucial for Korean text processing applications such as information extraction and clmnking for efficient syntactic analysis. It is a complicated problem since temporal expressions often have the ambiguity of syntactic roles. This t)al)er discusses two problenm: (1) representing and identiflying the temporal expression (2) distinguishing the synta...

: This study aims to explore the relationship between syntactic and lexical complexity and also the relationship between different aspects of lexical complexity. To this end, speech monologs of 35 Iranian high-intermediate learners of English on three different tasks (i.e. argumentation, description, and narration) were analyzed for correlations between one measure of sy...

Individual differences in memory performance in a domain of expertise have traditionally been accounted for by previously acquired chunks of knowledge and patterns. These accounts have been examined experimentally mainly in chess. The role of chunks (clusters of chess pieces recalled in rapid succession during recall of chess positions) and their relations to chess skill are, however, under deb...

In this paper the idea that large objects, such as video files, should not be cached or replaced in their entirety, but rather be partitioned in chunks and replacement decisions be applied at the chunk level is examined. It is shown, that a higher byte hit ratio (BHR) can be achieved through partial replacement. The price paid for the improved BHR performance is that the replacement algorithm, ...

In language communication, an utterance may be segmented as a concatenation of chunks that are reasonable in syntax, meaningful in semantics, and composed of several words. Usually, the order of words within chunks is fixed, and the order of chunks within an utterance is rather flexible. The improvement of spoken language translation could benefit from using bilingual chunks. This paper present...

Information-centric networking (ICN) is a promising paradigm to support in-network big data sharing. However, it suffers from the problem of the segmented cached chunks resulting in low throughput and the large Interest packet overhead (IPO). The existing work cannot address these problems well, largely due to their insufficient considerations on the interplay between caching and data transport...

This paper proposes a hybrid word alignment model for Phrase-Based Statistical Machine translation (PB-SMT). The proposed hybrid alignment model provides most informative alignment links which are offered by both unsupervised and semi-supervised word alignment models. Two unsupervised word alignment models (GIZA++ and Berkeley aligner) and a rule based aligner are combined together. The rule ba...

Wepresent ChunkStream, a system for efficient streaming and interactive editing of online video. Rather than using a specialized protocol and stream format, ChunkStream makes use of a generic mechanism employing chunks. Chunks are fixed-size arrays that contain a mixture of scalar data and references to other chunks. Chunks allow programmers to expose large, but fine-grained, data structures ov...
