background: global adult tobacco survey (gats), malaysia 2011 reported that the prevalence of smoking was highest among malays male i.e., 24.6% (ci:22.1,27.3). the aim of this study was to evaluate the perception of a group of smokers towards various national anti-smoking initiatives as well as its association with age and education level. methods: the study was conducted in a randomly selected...

Bystander or non-targeted effect is known to be an interesting phenomenon in radiobiology. The genetic consequences of bystander effect on non-irradiated cells have shown that this phenomenon can be considered as one of the most important factors involved in secondary cancer after exposure to ionizing radiation. Every year, millions of people around the world undergo radiotherapy in order to cu...

floorplanning is an important step in physical design of vlsi circuits. it is used to plan the positions of a set of circuit modules on a chip in order to optimize the circuit performance. however, modern floorplanning takes better care of providing extra options to place dedicated modules in the hierarchical designs to align circuit blocks one by one within certain bounding box for helping seq...

This paper demonstrates that machine learning is a suitable approach for rapid parser development. From 1000 newly treebanked Korean sentences we generate a deterministic shift-reduce parser. The quality of the treebank, particularly crucial given its small size, is supported by a consistency checker.

Tree-to-string systems have gained significant popularity thanks to their simplicity and efficiency by exploring the source syntax information, but they lack in the target syntax to guarantee the grammaticality of the output. Instead of using complex tree-to-tree models, we integrate a structured language model, a left-to-right shift-reduce parser in specific, into an incremental tree-to-string...

To address global climate change, the Paris Agreement requires parties to take action reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At present, effect has caused more serious environmental problems, and in response this phenomenon, various countries have formulated corresponding emission reduction policies. In recent years, China's development process also begun note that country's must not be at expe...

Simple Recurrent Networks (SRNs) have been widely used in natural language tasks. SARDSRN extends the SRN by explicitly representing the input sequence in a SARDNET self-organizing map. The distributed SRN component leads to good generalization and robust cognitive properties, whereas the SARDNET map provides exact representations of the sentence constituents. This combination allows SARDSRN to...
