In order to meet the needs of the control-unit-based water pollution prevention problem in China, we proposed a comprehensive control unit zoning method with the combined basic administrative region and objective watershed management. The method can effectively connect the natural characteristics of watershed water sources, three-level zoning of water resources, and comprehensively consider the...

Argumentative Zoning (AZ) – analysis of the argumentative structure of a scientific paper – has proved useful for a number of information access tasks. Current approaches to AZ rely on supervised machine learning (ML). Requiring large amounts of annotated data, these approaches are expensive to develop and port to different domains and tasks. A potential solution to this problem is to use weakl...

Introduction The distribution of highly siderophile elements in planetary materials is controlled mainly by metal. Diffusion processes can control the distribution or re-distribution of these elements within metals, yet there is little systematic or appropriate diffusion data that can be used to interpret HSE concentrations in such metals. Because our understanding of isotope chronometry, redox...

~ This paper describes two wholistic recognizers developed for use in a hybrid recognition system. The recognizers use information about the word shape. This information is strongly related to word zoning. One of the recognizers is explicitly limited by the accuracy of the zoning information extraction. The other recognizer is designed so as to avoid this limitation. The recognizers use very si...

Recently, disk zoning techniques have been widely used for increasing disk drive capacity. As a side effect, data transfer rates for outer zones of a hard disk are much higher than those of inner zones. Without giving proper care to disk zoning features, disk bandwidth cannot be utilized e ectively. In this paper, we propose a data placement scheme for VBR (Variable Bit Rate) video objects, cal...
