We hypothesize that the variance in volume of high-velocity queries over time can be explained by observing that these queries are formulated in response to events in the world that users are interested in. Based on it, this paper describes a system, ZED, which automatically finds explanations for high velocity queries, by extracting descriptions of relevant and temporally-proximate events from...

In this paper, a unified trajectory model based on the stylization and the modelling of f0 variations simultaneously over various temporal domains is proposed. The syllable is used as the minimal temporal domain for the description of speech prosody, and short-term and long-term f0 variations are stylized and modelled simultaneously over various temporal domains. During the training, a context-...

Global warming due to greenhouse effect is expected to cause major changes in climate of some regions. The change of climate is likely to have a profound effect on hydrological cycle. Evapotranspiration (ET, as the major component of hydrological cycle, will affect crop water requirement and future planning and management of water resources. This study was conducted to investigate climate chang...

River Ganga is one of the prime sacred National Rivers of India, closely associated with economic, social, and cultural heritage of Indian people. Recently, it has been subjected to immense degradation and pollution as a result of receiving huge amounts of domestic and industrial wastewater as well as religious ritual activities and surface runoff. The present study attempts to study spatial an...

Assessing the quality of groundwater is important to ensure the sustainablesafe use of these resources. However, describing the overall water quality condition isdifficult due to the spatial variability of multiple contaminants and the wide range ofindicators (chemical, physical and biological) that could be measured. Therefore, in thiscase study, some water quality parameters including Na, Mg,...

La variación temporal del índice NDVI predice los cambios temporales de la cobertura vegetal en las tierras secas Patagonia argentina. En secas, vegetación natural es una fuente importante sustento para comunidades que viven ellas, dado utilizan como alimento, combustible y forraje el ganado. Además bienes servicios brinda a comunidades, también juega un papel muchos procesos ecosistémicos, por...
