We present the main ideas behind a new syntax-based machine translation system, based on reducing the machine translation task to a tree-labeling task. This tree labeling is further reduced to a sequence of decisions (of four varieties), which can be discriminatively trained. The optimal tree labeling (i.e. translation) is then found through a simple depth-first branch-andbound search. An early...

This paper provides insight into the size composition and reproductive aspects of small striped cuttlefish Sepia prabahari distributed exclusively in Gulf Mannar (GoM) Biosphere Reserve, Indian Ocean which contributes 11% to cephalopod catch this region. The fishery varied between 4.6 14.6 cm dorsal mantle length (DML) group 8.1 10 dominated (45%). DML-weight relationship for male, female poole...

introduction: discharge of textile wastewater causes the reduction of sunlight penetration, interferes with the receiving waters ecology and damage the environment. the aim of this study was to determine the removal efficiency of reactive blue 19 dye from aqueous solutions by cuttlefish bone powder. materials & methods: this study was performed experimentally and in laboratory scale. in this re...
