We currently have a poor understanding of how different soil sampling methods (pedogenetic horizon versus fixed-depth) influence the evaluation of soil properties. Here, 159 soil profiles were sampled from larch (Larix gmelinii) plantations in northeast China using both the pedogenetic horizon and fixed-depth sampling methods. Analysis of variance was used to determine how sampling method influ...

Many peoples are using the Internet and many types of devices have emarged. In this situation, a single user wants to continue to work in anytime and anywhere. Current contents service targets specific devices, so that it cannot support many different types of devices. To realize continuous and transparent services, we propose a new model of ASP. In our proposed model, User Agent and Applicatio...

A case of lethal overdose by heroin ingestion is presented. The concentrations of drugs were measured several hours after death. Heroin, 06-monoacetylmorphine, and morphine were identified and quantitated in blood, urine, and gastrointestinal contents by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography. Concentrations of heroin, 06-monoacetylmorphine, and morphine...

We propose an automated text summarization through sentence compression. Our approach uses constituent syntactic function and position in the sentence syntactic tree. We first define the idea of a constituent as well as its role as an information provider, before analyzing contents and discourse consistency losses caused by deleting such a constituent. We explain why our method works best with ...
