The Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) has initiated several programs to develop and evaluate techniques to characterize emissions from military aircraft to meet increasingly stringent regulatory requirements. This paper describes the results of a recent field study using extractive and optical remote sensing (ORS) techniques to measure emissions from six F-15 figh...

Summarization is a way to represent same information in concise way with equal sense. This can be categorized in two type Abstractive and Extractive type. Our work is focused around Extractive summarization. A generic approach to extractive summarization is to consider sentence as an entity, score each sentence based on some indicative features to ascertain the quality of sentence for inclusion...

The possible application of imidazolium ionic liquids as energy-efficient green material for extractive deep desulfurization of liquid fuel has been investigated. 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride [BMIM]Cl was synthesized by nucleophilic substitution reaction of n-methylimidazolium and 1-chlorobutane. Molecular structures of the ILs were confirmed by FTIR, (1)H-NMR, and (13)C-NMR. The therma...

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...

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. ...
