This article aims at studying one dimensional unsteady planar and cylindrically symmetric flow involving shocks under the influence of magnetic field. The method of generalized wavefront expansion (GWE) is employed to derive a coupled system of nonlinear transport equations for the jump of field variables and of its spatial derivatives across the shock, which, in turn determine the evolution of...

Offset continuation (OC) is the operator that transforms common-offset seismic reflection data from one offset to another. Earlier papers by the first author presented a partial differential equation in midpoint and offset to achieve this transformation. The equation was derived from the kinematics of the continuation process with no reference to amplitudes. We present here a proof that the sol...

Open Information Extraction (OIE) systems extract relational tuples from text without requiring to specify in advance the relations of interest. Systems perform well on widely used metrics such as precision and yield, but a close look at systems output shows a general lack of informativeness in facts deemed correct. We propose a new evaluation protocol, based on question answering, that is clos...

Open IE methods extract structured propositions from text. However, these propositions are neither consolidated nor generalized, and querying them may lead to insufficient or redundant information. This work suggests an approach to organize open IE propositions using entailment graphs. The entailment relation unifies equivalent propositions and induces a specific-to-general structure. We create...
