In this paper, we propose a novel framework for extractive summarization. Our framework allows the summarizer to adapt and improve itself. Experimental results show that our summarizer achieves higher evaluation scores by adapting to the given evaluation metrics.

The total flavonoid content (TFC), total polyphenols content (TPC), and in vitro antioxidant activity (AA) of six Bidens pilosa L., Asteraceae, populations harvested from different localities were evaluated in this work. The plants were separated in roots, stems, and leaves/flowers, and the influence of extraction methods was investigated. A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography...

Task complexity (Fagot & Vauclair 1991), bimanual complementary role differentiation (Uomini 2009), and the obligate use of a particular hemisphere (Rogers, 2009) have been proposed to explain why hand preferences in non-human primates are often influenced by tasks. We examined how tasks (reaching, carrying, extractive foraging, and object manipulation) and gender influenced hand preference in ...

Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) can be readily produced from many anaerobic microbes and subsequently utilized as precursors to renewable biofuels and biochemicals. Megasphaera elsdenii represents a promising host for production of VFAs, butyric acid (BA) and hexanoic acid (HA). However, due to the toxicity of these acids, product removal via an extractive fermentation system is required to achieve...

Context: Nigella sativa Linn. (Ranunculaceae) is native to southwest Asia. This tree species has been of interest to researchers because it has a long history of folklore usage in various systems of medicines. Objective: Pharmacognostic Standardization, Physico and Phytochemical Evaluation of the seeds of N. sativa were carried out to determine its macro-and microscopical characters and also so...

In an attempt to mitigate the environmental impacts caused by large farmers, extractive reserves (RESEXs) were founded with objectives of conserving biological diversity and meeting traditional communities’ vital needs. This study aimed evaluate whether human needs satisfaction conservation achieved based on institutional investments in a RESEX Brazilian Amazon. The was developed through associ...

Available online 14 August 2013 This article analyzes the appropriateness of a text summarization system, COMPENDIUM, for generating abstracts of biomedical papers. Two approaches are suggested: an extractive (COMPENDIUME), which only selects and extracts the most relevant sentences of the documents, and an abstractive-oriented one (COMPENDIUME–A), thus facing also the challenge of abstractive ...

We propose Hidden Markov models with unsupervised training for extractive summarization. Extractive summarization selects salient sentences from documents to be included in a summary. Unsupervised clustering combined with heuristics is a popular approach because no annotated data is required. However, conventional clustering methods such as K-means do not take text cohesion into consideration. ...

Due to the rapid-developed Internet and with the big data era coming, the automatic summarization research has been emerged a popular research topic. The aim of automatic summarization is in attempt to select important text or spoken sentence to represent the topic (theme) of original text or spoken document according to a predefined summarization ratio. In this study we frame automatic summari...

Extractive distillation is a common process for the separation of homogeneous azeotropic mixtures. In this process entrainer feed flowrate and reflux ratio of the extractive column represent the crucial design degrees of freedom which govern feasibility and operating cost. In this work feasibility and operational stability of the extractive column is related to the analysis of the nonlinear dyn...
