A pilot-scale, ponded wetland consisting of an open pond and a vegetated pond in series was constructed on a cotton farm in northern New South Wales, Australia, and assessed for its potential to remove pesticides from irrigation tailwater. Ten incubation periods ranging from 7 to 13 days each were conducted over two cotton growing seasons to monitor removal of residues of four pesticides applie...

Shortage of water resources has become one vital problems world widely, so improvement for making more sufficient use urban tailwater is significant issues environmental engineering as well landscaping. With different technologies and various its types, constructed wetlands can be applied to purify lightly polluted water. Urban quality treatment (WQT) wetland an economical efficient infrastruct...

We present a novel approach for creating sense annotated corpora automatically. Our approach employs shallow syntacticosemantic patterns derived from linked lexical resources to automatically identify instances of word senses in text corpora. We evaluate our labelling method intrinsically on SemCor and extrinsically by using automatically labelled corpus text to train a classifier for verb sens...

This paper introduces the technique of Predictive Annotation, a methodology for indexing texts for retrieval aimed at answering fact-seeking questions. The essence of the approach can be stated simply: index the answers. This is done by establishing about 20 classes of objects that can be identified in text by shallow parsing, and by annotating and indexing the text with these labels, which we ...

This paper presents the procedure of the syntactic annotation of the National Corpus of Polish. Syntactic annotation consists here of shallow parsing and manual post-editing of the results by annotators. The description concentrates on the delimitation of syntactic words and groups, as well as on problems encountered during the annotation process.

Two studies examined the hypothesis that chunking—defined as the degree to which information is grouped into explicitly labeled categories of distinct valence—moderates the impact of motivation to think on order effects in persuasion. Studies 1 and 2 examined motivation to think in terms of perceived personal relevance and need for cognition, respectively. In both studies, participants read arg...

Human game players rely heavily on the experience gained by playing over the games of masters. A player may recall a previous game to either obtain the best move (if he has previously seen the identical position) or suggest a best move (if similar to others seen). However, game-playing programs operate in isolation, relying on the combination of search and programmed knowledge to discover the b...

This paper considers the hypothesis that voting between multiple data representations can be more accurate than voting between multiple learning models. This hypothesis has been considered before (cf. [San00]) but the focus was on voting methods rather than the data representations. In this paper, we focus on choosing specific data representations combined with simple majority voting. On the co...
