Event nouns can lexically encode eventive information. Recently these nouns have generated considerable scholarly interest. However, little research has been conducted in their morphological and syntactic structure, qualia modification, event representing feature, and information inheritance characteristics. This study has these main findings. 1) Morphologically, the modifier and the head is ei...

To control the dispersibility of surface-modified nanoparticles in fluid, it is important to evaluate affinity between and solvents elucidate effect surface modification on at molecular level. In this study, chain length modifier solvent work adhesion Wadh was investigated for carboxylic acid-modified Al2O3/n-alkane interface by dynamics simulations using phantom-wall method. Here, we adopted h...

In this paper, we perform a complete analysis of the kinetic behavior of the general modifier mechanism of Botts and Morales in both equilibrium steady states and non-equilibrium steady states (NESS). Enlightened by the non-equilibrium theory of Markov chains, we introduce the net flux into discussion and acquire an expression of the rate of product formation in NESS, which has clear biophysica...

Academic Editor: Dominique Bonvin Received: 1 November 2016; Accepted: 15 December 2016; Published: 22 December 2016 Abstract: The modifier approach has been extensively explored and offers a theoretically-sound and practically-useful method to deploy real-time optimization. The recent directional-modifier adaptation algorithm offers a heuristic to tackle the modifier approach. The directional-...

Three selected phenothiazines and their demethylated derivatives are chromatographed on different C18 bonded reversed-phase liquid chromatography columns. A quadratic equation fits the relationship log k versus the organic modifier percentage. When acetonitrile is the organic modifier, the demethylated derivative is eluted before the parent compound, whereas it is eluted after when methanol is ...

We present a semi-supervised approach to improve dependency parsing accuracy by using bilexical statistics derived from auto-parsed data. The method is based on estimating the attachment potential of head-modifier words, by taking into account not only the head and modifier words themselves, but also the words surrounding the head and the modifier. When integrating the learned statistics as fea...

Access modifiers like public and private let the programmer control the accessibility of class members. Restricted accessibility supports encapsulation, i.e., the hiding of implementation details behind the interface of a class. However, what is an implementation detail and what makes the interface of a class is often subject to change: especially in an agile setting (with absence of an upfront...

The steady advance of computational methods makes model-based optimization an increasingly attractive method for process improvement. Unfortunately, the available models are often inaccurate. The traditional remedy is to update the model parameters, but this generally leads to a difficult parameter estimation problem that must be solved on-line, and the resulting model may still poorly predict ...
