Understanding the mechanisms and controlling factors of erosion rates is essential in order to sufficiently comprehend bigger processes such as landscape evolution. For decades, scientists have been researching erosion rates where one of the main objectives was to find the controlling factors. A variety of parameters have been suggested ranging from climate-related, basin morphometry and the te...

Neural networks have shown promising results for relation extraction. State-ofthe-art models cast the task as an end-toend problem, solved incrementally using a local classifier. Yet previous work using statistical models have demonstrated that global optimization can achieve better performances compared to local classification. We build a globally optimized neural model for end-to-end relation...

This study involves investigating the sensitivity to temperature of Russia’s forest communities. Factors taken into consideration were mean annual temperature; standard deviation and temperature tolerance limits covering forests across the country. A new numerical classification of forest, related to predicted global climate warming (GCW) has been developed based on cluster analyses. New temper...

In this note we clarify the relationship between the local and global definitions of dual pairs in Poisson geometry. It turns out that these are not equivalent. For the passage from local to global one needs a connected fiber hypothesis (this is well known), while the converse requires a dimension condition (which appears not to be known). We also provide examples illustrating the necessity of ...

In this article the notion of relation work will be put forward to describe efforts of connecting people and artefacts in a multitude of ways as part of facilitating global interaction and coordination in an engineering firm. Relation work can be seen as a parallel to the concept of articulation work. Articulation work describes efforts of coordination necessary in cooperative work, but, arguab...

the global spread of english, co-occurring with globalization, has generated new views towards some issues in english language teaching, one of which being the place of home culture versus foreign language culture in english language classes. the following study aimed to compare the viewpoint of three groups, i.e. language teachers, language learners and parents regarding the role of home cultu...

Due to some given integrity constraints for a medical distributed database we shall now consider the check of the global. In many domains, one cannot suppose to have a full availability of data in a distributed database. Given some integrity constraints over a distributed database we consider the problem of incrementally checking global consistency in response to updates made to the base relati...

In this paper, we study the preservation of quadratic conservation laws of Runge-Kutta methods and partitioned Runge-Kutta methods for Hamiltonian PDEs and establish the relation between multi-symplecticity of Runge-Kutta method and its quadratic conservation laws. For Schrödinger equations and Dirac equations, the relation implies that multi-sympletic RungeKutta methods applied to equations wi...

We show that the approach of Mazurkiewicz trace theory | modelling causalities between action occurrences using a global dependency relation | can be generalised to branching time semantics (modelling both causalities and points of choice). More precisely, we show that the usual notion of bisimulation coincides with history preserving bisimulation and that usual testing coincides with "causal t...
