We present an integrated probabilistic model for Japanese syntactic and case structure analysis. Syntactic and case structure are simultaneously analyzed based on wide-coverage case frames that are constructed from a huge raw corpus in an unsupervised manner. This model selects the syntactic and case structure that has the highest generative probability. We evaluate both syntactic structure and...

The way that sows are housed during gestation and lactation has moved towards more intensive systems so that sows can be more easily managed and production maximized. At a minimum, some of these factors have contributed to a decline in the productive life of sows in commercial pork production systems. A sow remaining in the breeding herd for fewer parities is likely to produce fewer pigs in her...

Many Forth systems provide means to call C functions, but these interfaces are not designed to be portable between platforms: A call to a C library function that works on one platform may fail on the next platform, because the parameter and return value types of the C function may be different. In this paper, we present an interface that avoids this problem: In particular, the actual calls can ...

The distribution of soil particles and planting tube space position affects reversal cultivated land and fertilization seeder seeding performance. Through the establishment of ratary tiller system coordinate system; Firstly giving the analysis of soil grain not heel cover shell collision and the first meeting with cover shell collisions motion situation, through Matlab found the first meeting w...

We study observability of switched differentialalgebraic equations (DAEs) for arbitrary switching. We present a characterization of observability and, a related property called, determinability. These characterizations utilize the results for the single-switch case recently obtained by the authors. Furthermore, we study observability conditions when only the mode sequence of the switching signa...

Some of the data required for this purpose are not recorded in the majority of commercial herds. From the fact that the herds studied kept more comprehensive records it can be reasonably assumed that the standard of management and the level of performance obtained in these herds were not typical of the industry at large. For the present study this could be considered an advantage since a furthe...

Banks play important roles in promoting national development. In order to provide efficient services and to perform their statutory roles effectively, banks are required to comply with established standards. In Nigeria, the Statement of Accounting Standards (SAS), Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) and the Central Bank of Nigeria’s directives and regulations provide guidelines to banks in ...

The seed-metering device of the no-tillage planter was driven by the ground wheel. Sliding was unavoidable when the ground was covered by the straw. High sliding brought seeding absence and affected the quality of sowing. In order to monitor the sliding of the ground wheel, a monitoring system composed of hardware and software was designed based on ATMEGA16 Microcomputer. In the system, the pra...
