improving mechanical properties of composites based on strength-to-weight ratio has been gained much attention in various applications. having the most resistant and at the same time the lightest and the most economical structure is believed as an aim in these applications. these three factors are usually opposed to each other. so, applying optimization algorithms for improving mechanical prope...

We present a hybrid method to generate summaries of product and services reviews by combining natural language generation and salient sentence selection techniques. Our system, STARLET-H, receives as input textual reviews with associated rated topics, and produces as output a natural language document summarizing the opinions expressed in the reviews. STARLET-H operates as a hybrid abstractive/...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Hybrid zones provide "natural laboratories" for understanding the processes of selection, reinforcement, and speciation. We sought to gain insight into the degree of introgression and the extent of ecological-phenotypic intermediacy in the natural hybrid strawberry, Fragaria × ananassa subsp. cuneifolia. • METHODS We used whole-plastome sequencing to identif...

water deficit is one of the most common constraints to crop productivity in the world and iran. in order to study effect of drought stress on morphologic traits, yield and yield components of 34 hybrids of corn, an experiment was carried out based of complete randomized block design with three replication under f.c. irrigation and drought stress in khorasan razavi agricultural research and natu...

In this paper we outline hybrid approaches to arti cial neural network-based natural language processing. We start by motivating hybrid symbolic/connectionist processing. Then we suggest various types of symbolic/connectionist integration for language processing: connectionist structure architectures, hybrid transfer architectures, hybrid processing architectures. Furthermore, we focus particul...

Two experiments were conducted in 200-m earthen ponds at Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand, for 87 days to test the feasibility of an integrated pen-cum-pond system, which utilizes wastes from intensive culture of hybrid catfish (Clarias macrocephalus C. gariepinus) as nutrients for semi-intensive culture of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). This integrated pen-cum-pond system enhance...

a two-year field study was conducted at punjab agricultural university, ludhiana, india, to study the relative abundance of mustard/turnip aphid, lipaphis erysimi (kaltenbach) (hemiptera: aphididae) and the associated resident natural enemies on 10 different rapeseed-mustard genotypes which included: brassica juncea: rh 7846, rh 9501, rk 9501, jmm 927, purple mutant; b. napus: hyola pac 401 (hy...

A library of components for modelling hybrid automata in a natural fashion has been implemented in Modelica. This library exploits and extends the free Modelica library StateGraph to the modelling and simulation of deterministic hybrid systems described by the hybrid automaton formalism. In this contribution the library’s main features are described and its flexibility highlighted by developing...

We introduce STORMED hybrid games (SHG), a generalization of STORMED Hybrid Systems [21], which have natural specifications, allow rich continuous dynamics and admit various properties to be decidable. We solve the control problem for SHG using a reduction to bisimulation on game graphs. This reduction generalizes to a greater family of games, which includes o-minimal hybrid games [5]. We also ...

We present the sentence ordering part of a natural language generation module, used in the framework of a knowledge base of electronic navigation charts and sailing directions. The particularity of the knowledge base is that it is based on a controlled hybrid language, that is the combination of a controlled natural language and a controlled visual language. The sentence ordering process is abl...
