This work develops a rule curve-based conjunctive use management model for optimizing the operating rules for a lake–groundwater system with off-stream storage lakes. The proposed procedure is a simulation-optimization approach that embeds an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) instead of a groundwater numerical model into a genetic algorithm (GA). The direct physical exchange between lake water wi...

From the perspective of linguistic typology, this paper investigates and analyzes types adposition in 38 minority languages their conjunctive use with location words, attempts to summarize relationship between basic word order, adposition, order words different languages. Then, it seeks motives that restrict finally external combination such circumpositions (Prep + Noun Location Words) Chinese.

Multi skill scenarios are common place in real world problems and Intelligent Tutoring System questions alike, however, system designers have often relied on ad-hoc methods for modeling the composition of multiple skills. There are two common approaches to determining the probability of correct for a multi skill question: a conjunctive approach, which assumes that all skills must be known or a ...
