Empty elements (EEs) play a critical role in Chinese syntactic, semantic and discourse analysis. Previous studies employ a language-independent sentence-level approach to EE recovery, by casting it as a linear tagging or structured parsing problem. In comparison, this paper proposes a clauselevel hybrid approach to address specific problems in Chinese EE recovery, which recovers EEs in Chinese ...

In this paper, we first analyze and classify the empty categories in a Hindi dependency treebank and then identify various discovery procedures to automatically detect the existence of these categories in a sentence. For this we make use of lexical knowledge along with the parsed output from a constraint based parser. Through this work we show that it is possible to successfully discover certai...

twenty four male lambs divided into four groups and were allocated to 90, 105, 120 and 135 days of fattening periods.at the end of each fattening period, lambs were slaughtered. the percentage of cold carcass on the basis of empty body weight in the mentioned periods were 57.0 ± 0.94, 57.5 ±1.7, 59.9 ±3.3 and 62.2 ±4.4,respectively(p

In transportation via containers, unbalanced movement of loaded containers forces shipping companies to reposition empty containers. This study addresses the problem of empty container repositioning (ECR) in the distribution network of a European logistics company, where some restrictions impose decision making in an uncertain environment. The problem involves dispatching empty contain...

The Gaia satellite was selected as a cornerstone mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) in October 2000 and confirmed in 2002 with a current target launch date of 2011. The Gaia mission will gather on the same observational principles as hipparcos detailed astrometric, photometric and spectroscopic properties of about 1 billion sources brighter than mag V = 20. The nature of the measured ob...
