The rapid conversion of cultivated land resources has posed a severe danger to national food security, where the primary concerns are quantity as well quality being cultivated. Cultivated use efficiency (CLUE) reflects rational allocation and utilization level land, labor, capital, other factors so maximize output minimize cost. In this study, carbon emissions were included an unexpected into m...

Recently, much research has focused on explicit aspect extraction. User reviews in the textual form are unstructured data, creating a very high complexity when processed for sentiment analysis. Previous propagation approaches proposed this area mainly only adjective-and-noun-based relations. By using small seed of opinion words, there is possibility that can be disconnected, resulting several a...

OBJECTIVE Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is associated with significant morbidity. Bacterial vaginosis is due to an overgrowth of anaerobic organisms in the vagina. It has been postulated that the presence of Trichomonas creates an anaerobic environment that favors BV. Thus, BV should be more frequent in the presence of Trichomonas if Trichomonas is creating a favorable anaerobic environment. MATER...

BACKGROUND Despite recommendations by Centers for Disease Control and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, pH testing is infrequently performed during the evaluation of vaginitis. Consequently, little information exists on its use in a primary care setting. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to describe our experience with routine pH testing, particularly the relationship...

In this paper, we describe RitsQA: Ritsumeikan question answering system. In our QA system, input query sentence is firstly analyzed using question patterns consist of description of NE elements, POS of words and surface expressions. Then, query type and some clue words, which are used for document retrieval, are determined. For answer extraction, our system uses word distance between answer ca...

In this paper, we describe curricular materials that use the game of Clue to teach basic concepts of propositional logic. While there are many ways of teaching concepts of logic, this approach is distinct in that it is (1) goal-oriented, culminating in a fun project where students implement expert Clue deduction, (2) minimalistic, covering many important concepts within the simple domain of pro...

Infiltrative cardiomyopathies include a variety of disorders that lead to myocardial thickening resulting in a constellation of clinical manifestations and eventually heart failure that could be the first clue to reach the diagnosis. Among the more described infiltrative diseases of the heart is amyloid cardiomyopathy. The disease usually presents with subtle, nonspecific symptoms. Herein, we i...
