This Coastal and Hydraulic Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) summarizes the state of understanding of the influence of grain size on surf zone sediment transport and is a companion to Smith et al. (2004). This CHETN discusses details of bed-load and suspended load transport, and the classical bed-load regime is shown to encompass two distinct modes of transport. Four LST models with varying le...

In face processing tasks, prior presentation of internal facial features, when compared with external ones, facilitates the recognition of subsequently displayed familiar faces. In a previous ERP study (Olivares & Iglesias, 2010) we found a visibly larger N400-like effect when identity mismatch familiar faces were preceded by internal features, as compared to prior presentation of external ones...

This paper describes the methods we have employed to solve the author profiling task at PAN-2013. Our goal was to use simple features to identify the age group and the gender of the author of a given text. We introduce the features, detail how the classifiers were trained, and how the experiments were run.

Classification is a fundamental reasoning task in ontology design, and there is currently a wide range of reasoners highly optimised for classification of SROIQ ontologies. Existing reasoners, however, do not exploit the fact that most of the axioms in many realistic SROIQ ontologies are expressed in some lightweight DL, such as EL. In this paper, we propose a novel reasoning technique that all...

We describe a hybrid approach to conjunctive query answering over OWL 2 ontologies that combines a datalog reasoner with a fully-fledged OWL 2 reasoner in order to provide scalable “pay as you go” performance. Our approach delegates the bulk of the computation to the highly scalable datalog engine and resorts to expensive OWL 2 reasoning only as necessary to fully answer the query. We have impl...

As the performance of semantic reasoners change significantly with regard to all included characteristics, and therefore requires assessment and evaluation before selecting an appropriate reasoner for a given application. There are number of inference engines like Pellet, FaCT++, Hermit, RacerPro, KaON2, F-OWL and BaseVISor. Some of them are reviewed and tested for few prebuilt ontologies. Pape...

The mid-infrared (MIR) band entangled photon source is vital for the next generation of quantum communication, imaging, and sensing. However, current states are mainly prepared in visible or near-infrared bands. It still lacking high-quality sources MIR band. In this work, we optimize poling sequence lithium niobate to prepare two kinds typical states, Hermit–Gaussian state comb-like at 3.2 µm....

AT THE REQUEST of Dr. Ernst S. Reese of the Universi ty of Hawaii the wri ter has studied seven specimens of a polyclad turbellarian found in the shells of Trocbus sand taicbensis occupied by the hermit crab Calcines latens in Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaiian Islands. Accord ing to Dr. Reese ( in litt. ) the worm wraps itself around the abdomen of the crab and usually occurs deep in the spira l cavi...
