The driving force behind controlled language document authoring systems has been the desire to bypass the knowledge-intensive (and thus time-intensive) and error-prone stage of analyzing the source text. More accurate and deeper analysis of source texts at a lower acquisition cost is possible if the vocabulary and syntax of the input text are kept as simple as possible. The multi-lingual transl...

Lower Pliocene temperate carbonates exhibit landward-downlapping beds at the southern margin of the Carboneras Basin in south-eastern Spain. This rarely documented stratal geometry resulted from the accumulation of bedded bioclastic carbonate sand and gravel by longshore currents along a spit platform located a few hundred metres from the palaeoshoreline. The top of the spit platform was covere...

Low-latitude continental shelves, mixed siliciclastic–carbonate sedimentary systems, provide an understanding of sedimentary environments driven by paleoclimatological processes. The Bonaparte Gulf, northwestern Australian continental shelf, is among the widest in the world, ranging to 500 km, with shallow carbonate terraces and platforms that were exposed during periods of lower sea level. The...

Calcium carbonate represents a large portion of carbon reservoir and is used commercially for a variety of applications. Microbial carbonate precipitation, a by-product of microbial activities, plays an important metal coprecipitation and cementation role in natural systems. This natural process occurring in various geological settings can be mimicked and used for a number of biotechnologies, s...

The Messinian (Upper Miocene) is characterized at the level of its marginal basins by development numerous carbonate platforms. This study concerns platform Boukadir region in south Chelif Basin Algeria. It composed a lower prograding rimmed and an upper aggradational homoclinal ramp resting upon Tortonian–Lower Blue Marl Formation, thickness reaches ~280 m Basin. red-algae unit uniform subhori...

To detect a ramp and guide a tracked robot to complete the ramp-climbing task in an unknown environment, four tracked robot control modes are proposed in this paper. The modes are the exploration mode, aligning mode, calculating the tilt angle mode, and climbing mode. This self-made tracked robot only equips with a Kinect depth sensor; unfortunately, the sensing depth data, in general, incorpor...

abstract a previous study on agricultural drains in khuzestan province of iran has indicated that carbonate calcium is the main component of the deposited salts in drainage envelops. to investigate the process of precipitation of carbonate calcium under different conditions including chemical, bio-chemical, aerobic and an-aerobic, a through laboratory investigation on geotextile drain envelop w...

In motor control, prediction of future events is vital for overcoming sensory-motor processing delays and facilitating rapid and accurate responses in a dynamic environment. In human ocular pursuit this is so pervasive that prediction of future target motion cannot easily be eliminated by randomizing stimulus parameters. We investigated the prediction of temporally randomized events during purs...
