We present “CDG LAB”, a toolkit for development of dependency grammars and treebanks. It uses the Categorial Dependency Grammars (CDG) as a formal model of dependency grammars. CDG are very expressive. They generate unlimited dependency structures, are analyzed in polynomial time and are conservatively extendable by regular type expressions without loss of parsing efficiency. Due to these featu...

Especially during the last two decades modell...

Dilute Nd in simple cubic LaB(6) shows electrical resistance and specific heat features at low temperature consistent with a Kondo scale of T(K) </~ 0.3 K. Nd has a well-localized 4f(3) J = 9/2 Hund's rule configuration which is not anticipated to be Kondo coupled to the conduction electrons in LaB(6). We conjecture that the unexpected Kondo effect arises via participation of 4f quadrupolar deg...

Current technology enables schools to provide remote or virtual computing labs. Virtual computing labs can be implemented in multiple ways ranging from remote access to banks of dedicated workstations to sophisticated access to large-scale servers hosting virtualized workstations. This paper reports on the implementation of a specific lab using remote access to dedicated workstations and suppor...

In this lab, we will cover a useful image processing technique called halftoning, which is the process of converting a gray scale image into a binary image. The process of halftoning is required in many present day electronic applications such as facsimile (FAX), electronic scanning and copying, and laser printing. This lab will cover the halftoning techniques known as ordered dithering and err...

We describe our efforts toward developing infrastructure for shared remote robotics laboratories that allow reproducible robotics experimentation and large scale learning from demonstration (LfD). Our goal is to create a facility where users demonstrate desired tasks by teleoperating robot platforms through video-game style web-based interfaces, providing data that LfD approaches will turn into...

Sweeney, K.E., Roering, J.J., Ellis, C., 2015. Experimental evidence for hillslope control of landscape scale. Science 349, 51–53. This study derived laboratory experiments to test the landscape evolution theory, which states that climate sets the scale of landscape dissection through the competition between diffusive and advective processes. Convex hillslopes are produced through diffusive pro...

Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) based on virtual computing laboratories (VCL) model has been implemented in a small or medium scale on cloud computing in universities. Conventional physical computing laboratories with thousands of PCs are still widely used and co-exist with the VCL, however, the conventional PCs are not fully utilized in VCL. The demand of VDI is growing but the numbers of...

In this paper we describe a single-server-based system we developed for a large scale networking laboratory. The system, based on virtual machines, is capable of running many concurrent virtual networks, each consisting of PCs, routers and switches, that can be connected in various configurations. Lab users can initiate and switch lab experiments with a simple web-based interface and remotely a...
