Focus of this paper lies on the enrichment of 3D models with features extracted from IR images and on the integration of factual data, multiple image textures, and meta data into a semantically-geometrical model. In the last year CityGML was developed to capture geometric data and links to textures images as well as factual data and meta data of 3D city models. Multiple textures given by, e.g. ...

The existing word representation methods mostly limit their information source to word co-occurrence statistics. In this paper, we introduce ngrams into four representation methods: SGNS, GloVe, PPMI matrix, and its SVD factorization. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on word analogy and similarity tasks. The results show that improved word representations are learned from ngram cooccurre...

In this paper we describe a functorial data migration [6] scenario about the manufacturing service capability of a distributed supply chain. The scenario is a category-theoretic analog of an OWL ontologybased “semantic enrichment” scenario [5] developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The scenario is presented using, and is included with, the open-source FQL tool, ...

In this paper, a stochastic term is added to the classical generalized nonlinear Schrödinger Equation to describe the noise generated when light pulses propagate in a fiber. It has been shown that the generated supercontinuum light source fluctuates up to 50% of its output temporal intensity profile due to noises of different sources. The simulation method devised has been applied to the propag...

today fingerprinting techniques are increasingly adopted as an alternative and more direct and reliable means of assembling sediment source information. one of the principal assumptions of sediment fingerprinting is that potential catchment sediment sources can be distinguished on the basis of their physical, geochemical and biological properties or fingerprint properties. however, while the so...

stem cells located at the limbus ,  are the ultimate source for regeneration of the corneal epithelium in the normal and traumatized states.  when limbal stem cells are dysfunctional or deficient, limbal stem cell deficiency (lscd) develops. its surgical management depends on laterality and severity of corneal-limbal involvement. conventional methods of stem cell transplantation are conjunctiva...

Microblogs are increasingly gaining attention as an important information source in emergency management. Nevertheless, it is still difficult to reuse this information source during emergency situations, because of the sheer amount of unstructured data. Especially for detecting small scale events like car crashes, there are only small bits of information, thus complicating the detection of rele...

purpose: to compare the effects of short-tem and long-term systemic corticosteroids in the treatment of confirmed ocular toxoplasmosis. methods: this randomized comparative clinical trial was performed on 69 patients with confirmed active ocular toxoplasmosis with typical clinical manifestations. the subjects were randomly assigned to receive either 10 days (group a, 33 cases) or 4-6 weeks (gro...

We consider pair production in a space-time-dependent background field and derive a source term, i.e., production rate in the one-particle phase space. Such a source term is required in Boltzmann-equation-based models of quarkgluon plasma formation and evolution. We compare the source term derived here with the one that has been used in the literature so far. Significant differences are observe...
