A detailed comparison of the Penman Upper Model and the KOMET German Upper Model is carried out in order to construct a new Merged Upper Model capable of serving as the ideational basis for automatic text generation in both English and German. Previously proposed criteria for conducting such a merge are expanded on and evaluated. It is established that no (semi-)automatic merging of such knowle...

One of the most important issues in corporate finance is whether dividend changes contain information about future earnings and profitability. Although dividend signaling theories imply that dividend increases signal better prospects (e.g., Bhattacharya 1979; John and Williams 1985; andMiller and Rock 1985), many empirical studies have failed to support this idea. Studies by Watts (1973), Goned...

In this paper we address the organization and use of the lexicon giving special consideration to how the salience of certain aspects of abstract semantic structure may be expressed. We propose an organization of the lexicon and its interaction with grammar and knowledge that makes extensive use of lexical funct ions from the Meaning-Text-Theory of Mel'~uk. We integrate this approach with the ar...

merase (EC 2.7.7.6) have been demonstrated in eukaryotic cells (Roeder & Rutter, 1969; Jacob et al., 1970a; Kedinger et al., 1970; Mondal et al., 1970; Horgen & Griffin, 1971; Strain et al., 1971). RNA polymerase I (or A), which is associated with the nucleolus (Roeder & Rutter, 1970), is probably engaged in the transcription of nucleolar genes to form rRNA (Blatti et al., 1970; Tocchini-Valent...

Evapotranspiration is an important parameter to know in the management of agricultural water resources. There are several methods for estimating evapotranspiration (ETo). The FAO Penman-Monteith method considered universal standard ETo, however, climate data needed calculate ETo not always available, so it necessary evaluate performance using equations as a comparison evapotranspiration. This s...

Abstract Due to climatological changes, a study was conducted in the Gediz Basin, Turkey, where agricultural production holds an important place. In prepared, 12 general circulation models (GCMs) were utilized under representative concentration pathway (RCP)4.5, RCP6.0, and RCP8.5 scenarios of fifth assessment report (AR5) IPCC for period 2015–2050. The statistical downscaling methods employed ...

Crop models are important for understanding and regulating agroecosystems. Although the CERES-Wheat model is an tool winter wheat research, it has some limitations under water stress conditions. To narrow gap, this study aimed to improve performance of in arid semi-arid regions based on experimental data from 2012 2014. The Priestley–Taylor (PT) FAO56 Penman–Monteith (PM) equations were used ca...

The detection of genetically modified (GM) materials in food and feed products is a complex multi-step analytical process invoking screening, identification, and often quantification of the genetically modified organisms (GMO) present in a sample. "Combinatory qPCR SYBRGreen screening" (CoSYPS) is a matrix-based approach for determining the presence of GM plant materials in products. The CoSYPS...
