This paper investigates whether multisemantic-role (MSR) based selectional preferences can be used to improve the performance of supervised verb sense disambiguation. Unlike conventional selectional preferences which are extracted from parse trees based on hand-crafted rules, and only include the direct subject or the direct object of the verbs, the MSR based selectional preferences to be prese...

Scavenger receptors mediate binding and uptake of chemically modified lipoproteins. cDNA cloning of the human macrophage scavenger receptor (MSR) reveals the presence of two mRNA species, the type I and II isoforms, which are generated by 3' alternative splicing of a single MSR gene and translated into two proteins with different C-terminal domains. We studied MSR isoform expression during the ...

In this paper, signed-rank based nonparametric detectors are used for pseudonoise (PN) code acquisition in direct sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) systems. We first derive the locally optimum rank (LOR) detector, and then propose a locally suboptimum rank (LSR) detector and a modified signed-rank (MSR) detector using approximate score functions. We compare the single-dwell scheme without the ve...

This paper describes a Chinese word segmentor (CWS) based on backward maximum matching (BMM) technique for the 2 nd Chinese Word Segmentation Bakeoff in the Microsoft Research (MSR) closed testing track. Our CWS comprises of a context-based Chinese unknown word identifier (UWI). All the context-based knowledge for the UWI is fully automatically generated by the MSR training corpus. According to...

Sebagai salah satu upaya untuk peningkatan daya tahan kapal perang dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan sistem propulsi nuklir sebagai sumber tenaga penggerak. Penggunaan energy sitem penggerak memiliki nilai efektifitas yang tinggi jika dibandingkan minyak alam. Salah contoh model reaktor digunakan pada yaitu Molten Salt Reactor (MSR). MSR ada saat ini masih berukuran sangat besar. Oleh karena i...

To establish infection successfully, Staphylococcus aureus must evade clearance by polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN). We studied the expression and regulation of the methionine sulfoxide reductases (Msr) that are involved in the repair of oxidized staphylococcal proteins and investigated their influence on the fate of S. aureus exposed to oxidants or PMN. We evaluated a mutant deficient in ms...

The RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) system is paid attention as a technology that can realize a ubiquitous environment. Each RFID tag has a unique ID code, and is attached on some object with the information of the objects. A user reads the unique ID code using RFID readers and obtains the information of the object. One of the important applications of RFID technology is the indoor positi...

A new approach for tuning the parameters of MultiScale Retinex (MSR) based color image enhancement algorithm using a popular optimization method, namely, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is presented in this paper. The image enhancement using MSR scheme heavily depends on parameters such as Gaussian surround space constant, number of scales, gain and offset etc. Selection of these parameters, ...

Minimum storage regenerating (MSR) codes form a special class of maximum distance separable (MDS) codes by providing mechanisms for exact regeneration of a single code block in their codewords by downloading the minimum amount of information from the remaining code blocks. As a result, the MSR codes find application to distributed storage systems to enable node repairs with the optimal repair b...
