The effect of forest management practices on carbon quality is poorly documented. To assess changes in the and stability soil organic (SOC) a temperate upon human activities, we investigated from forests (i) developed following natural regeneration after clearcutting 20 40 years ago, (ii) afforestation an abandoned crop area ago (iii) where regular clear-cut (with wood residues input) was condu...

foo is a versatile non-realtime sound synthesis and composition system based on the Scheme programming language (Eckel and González-Arroyo, 1994; Rumori et al., 2004; Rumori, 2005). It is mainly used for sound synthesis and algorithmic composition in an interactive type-render-listen-loop (the musician’s read–eval–print-loop) or in conjunction with an editor like the inferior mode of emacs. Unl...

These notes present basic principles of partial evaluation us ing the simple imperative language FCL a language of owcharts intro duced by Jones and Gomard Topics include online partial evaluators o ine partial evaluators and binding time analysis The goal of the lec tures is to give a rigorous presentation of the semantics of partial eval uation systems while also providing details of actual i...

cttqe is a version of Church’s type theory that includes quotation and evaluation operators that are similar to quote and eval in the Lisp programming language. With quotation and evaluation it is possible to reason in cttqe about the interplay of the syntax and semantics of expressions and, as a result, to formalize syntax-based mathematical algorithms. We present the syntax and semantics of c...

This paper describes the participation of the University of Twente team at the Rich Text Retrieval Task of the Media Eval Benchmark Initiative 2011. The goal of the task is to find entry points of relevant parts of videos to reduce the browsing effort of searchers. This is our first participation, therefore our main focus is to create a baseline system which can be improved in the future. We ex...

User-defined functions (UDFs) are an integral part of performing indatabase analytics. Executing data analysis inside a database provides significant improvements over traditional methods, such as close-to-the-data execution, low conversion overhead and automatic parallelization. However, UDFs have poor support for debugging. Since they are executed from within the database process, traditional...

Reverberation is known to introduce difficulties in audio source separation, and reverse engineering independent sources from a convolutive mixture is one of the toughest challenges within blind source separation. This paper proposes two novel methods that combine dereverberation work with microphone interference reduction. The results are evaluated objectively using the BSS Eval toolbox and Re...

This paper introduces the use of the Multiple Cause Mixture Model to automatic text cat egory assignment Although much research has been done on text categorization this al gorithm is novel in that is unsupervised that is does not require pre labeled training ex amples and it can assign multiple category labels to documents In this paper we present very preliminary results of the application of...
