Generative techniques, while normally associated with programming languages or code generation, may also be used to produce non-executable artifacts (e.g., configuration or toolchain artifacts). Coupled with domain-specific modeling, generative techniques provide a way to consolidate toolchains and complex domains into a relatively compact space, by providing generators that produce artifacts i...

determining general and specific combining ability of lines is necessary to use them as parents of hybrid varieties. in addition, estimates of the heritability of characters helps in selecting suitable breeding methods and predicting genetic gains of the traits. to determine general and specific combining abilities and gene effects of agronomic characters, five cms lines and four restorer lines...

In this paper we describe a question interpretation module designed as a part of a Question Answering Dialogue System (QADS) which is used for an interactive quiz application. Question interpretation is achieved in applying a sequence of classification, information extraction, query formalization and query expansion tasks. The process of a question classification is performed based on a domain-...

We study the ground state properties, electronic excitations and lattice dynamics in spin-liquid candidate TbInO$_3$. By employing polarization resolved Raman spectroscopy we define inter- intra-multiplet excitations, establish low-energy crystal-field (CF) level scheme. In particular, demonstrate that of Tb$^{3+}$ ions is a non-Kramers doublet, relate enhanced linewidth CF modes to magnetic fl...

Offline adaptive radiotherapy (ART) has been used to effectively correct and compensate for prostate motion and reduce the required margin. The efficacy depends on the characteristics of the patient setup error and interfraction motion through the whole treatment; specifically, systematic errors are corrected and random errors are compensated for through the margins. In online image-guided radi...

M. Childs and A. Peachey (eds.), Understanding Learning in Virtual Worlds, Human–Computer Interaction Series, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4471-5370-2_3, © Springer-Verlag London 2013 Abstract This article examines conceptualisations of space in the design of hybrid learning environments. Our focus is the relationship between the task of designing a museum exhibition space and the material and conceptual ...

to determine the general and specific combining ability of the parental lines, five restorers ‎and four male sterility lines were selected as lines and testers respectively. nine parental lines were ‎crossed in a line × tester crossing system in year 2005 and the eight f1 hybrids and their six ‎parents in randomized complete blocks design (rcbd‏ (‏in two replications for yield, yield ‎component...
