In this paper we describe the LG-Eval toolkit for creating online language evaluation experiments. LG-Eval is the direct result of our work setting up and carrying out the human evaluation experiments in several of the Generation Challenges shared tasks. It provides tools for creating experiments with different kinds of rating tools, allocating items to evaluators, and collecting the evaluation...

It is often necessary to associate weights or other values with the edges of a graph. Such a “weighted” or “edge-labeled” graph can be defined as a triple G = (E, V, w) where w : E → eVal is a function mapping edges or directed edges to their values, and eVal is the set (type) of possible values. For a weighted graph eVal would typically be the real numbers, but for edge-labeled graphs they cou...

Dezful embayment contains several potential source rocks deposited in tectonically active environments. Existence of various source rocks with different geological ages makes this area one of the most prolific regions throughout the Middle East. The Pabdeh Formation (Lower Paleocene-Eocene), the Gurpi Formation (Santonian-Masstrichtian), the Kazhdumi Formation (Albian) and the Gadvan Formation ...

High hydrogen pressure pyrolysis (hydropyrolysis) was performed on samples of solvent extracted Kimmeridge Clay Formation source rock with a maturity equivalent to ca. 0.35% vitrinite re ̄ectance. We describe the types and distributions of organic nitrogen compounds in the pyrolysis products (hydropyrolysates) using GCMS. Compounds identi®ed included alkyl-substituted indoles, carbazoles, benzoc...

Biomass was subjected to conventional and microwave pyrolysis, to determine the influence of each process on the yield and composition of the derived gas, oil and char products. The influence of pyrolysis temperature and heating rate for the conventional pyrolysis and the microwave power was investigated. Two major stages of gas release were observed during biomass pyrolysis, the first being CO...

To better understand the pore structure and fractal character of lacustrine shales their influence on liquid hydrocarbon occurrences, in this study, a total 29 oil-bearing shale samples collected from Shahejie Formation Dongying Sag, Bohai Bay Basin, were investigated based nitrogen adsorption (NGA) analysis combined with TOC, Rock-Eval pyrolysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission-scannin...
