The Mississippi River Delta has been continuously losing land since the 1930s due to several factors, chief of which is the reduced sediment supply. A few recent studies have estimated individual components of short-term sediment transport, i.e., bedload and suspended load, separately for some locations along the Lowermost Mississippi River (LmMR, commonly considered as the last 500-km reach of...

This short paper describes and in fact gives the complete source for a tiny Prolog program implementing a flexible and fairly efficient TransformationBased Learning (TBL) system:

Research in automatic Part of Speech (POS) tagging has been dominated by Markov Model (MM) taggers. Brill [1, 3, 6], has recently described a transformation-based system with comparable accuracy, and simpler algorithms and representation than MM taggers. We present a set-based formal model of natural language ambiguity and semantic tagging that forms a basis for the generalisation of the transf...

Direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a turbulent boundary layer (TBL) subjected to adverse pressure gradient (APG) at Reτ = 834 is performed to investigate large-scale influences on vortical motions. For comparison, DNS data of a zero pressure gradient (ZPG) TBL at Reτ = 837 is analyzed. The spanwise energy spectra of the streamwise velocity fluctuations show that the large-scale energy above 4...

The #u-TBL system represents an attempt to use the search and database capabilities of the Prolog programming language to implement a generalized form of transformation-based learning. In the true spirit of logic-programming, the implementation is 'derived' from a declarative, logical interpretation of transformation rules. The #-TBL system recognizes four kinds of rules, that can be used to im...

Trilateration-based localization (TBL) has become a corner stone of modern technology. This study formulates the concern on how wireless sensor networks can take advantage of the computational intelligent techniques using both singleand multi-objective particle swarm optimization (PSO) with an overall aim of concurrently minimizing the required time for localization, minimizing energy consumed ...

BACKGROUND The original concept of problem-based learning (PBL) was built upon an acceptance that its participants would be of a more mature age, and with personal and potential qualities that would equip them for problem solving as part of their learning process. However, despite global acceptance for the use of PBL in medical and health sciences education, and knowledge of the diverse backgro...

Due to the extreme weather that hit throughout year resulted in threat of rice plants falling down. It was known fall a limiting factor for obtaining high yields and quality grain. Therefore, it considered important evaluate resistance general methods planting area. Those were transplanting (TP) direct seed (TBL). Based on this objective, we identified morphophysiology stems laying 2 commonly u...

Abstract This chapter describes two case studies that highlight how courses can be taught simultaneously in classrooms across partnering university campuses using the effective, evidence‐based team‐based learning (TBL) method. The objective is to assist faculty effectively TBL a synchronous virtual collaborative space.
