among various types of cities, mining cities have special features including a high concentration of industrial activities associated with the exploration, extraction, refining, processing and export of groundwater resources, the risk of reduction and termination of non-renewable resources, high degree of environmental pollution, high production of domestic and industrial waste and social issue...

The Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) has initiated several programs to develop and evaluate techniques to characterize emissions from military aircraft to meet increasingly stringent regulatory requirements. This paper describes the results of a recent field study using extractive and optical remote sensing (ORS) techniques to measure emissions from six F-15 figh...

The seasonal variation of water soluble extractive alcohol soluble extractive and ether soluble extractive have been investigated in leaves, wood and bark of Sesbania grandiflora, Sesbania bispinosa and Sesbania cannabina. Comparative account of water soluble extractive of leaves, wood and bark of Sesbania grandiflora was showed high level (range 4.2 to 5.8 %) than Sesbania bispinosa (range 3.3...

There is mixed evidence regarding the relationship between the extractive intensity of economic activity and the level of human development. Some studies find that mineraland energy-intensive economies have higher levels of development than economies without a substantial extractive sector, whereas others find that they have lower development levels. Those that find the negative relationship co...

Nowadays, knowledge sharing as one of the components of knowledge management process, has a significant role in organization success. Knowledge causes organizations to be able to acquire knowledge faster and more effective than before, and also apply it which therefore cause them to create competitive advantage. This research is an attempt to investigate the effects of knowledge sharing on inno...

We present a novel Web Pages Summarizer ContextSummarizer that subgroups the given Web pages into ‘sense-clusters’ respecting a user’s topic interests, and constructs a dynamic extractive summary for each sense-cluster. A user’s topic interest is described by the user who selects and refines some of word senses disambiguated within the content contexts of the given Web pages. The semantic simil...

Although human-written summaries of documents tend to involve significant edits to the source text, most automated summarizers are extractive and select sentences verbatim. In this work we examine how elementary discourse units (EDUs) from Rhetorical Structure Theory can be used to extend extractive summarizers to produce a wider range of human-like summaries. Our analysis demonstrates that EDU...

In this paper, design and optimization procedures are developed for a conventional extractive distillation sequence and a thermally coupled extractive distillation scheme. The proposedmethodologies detect the optimal values of the design variables in order to guarantee theminimumenergy consumption. It was found that the optimumenergy consumption can be related to the minimum total annual operat...

We studied outlier document filtering (ODF) for extractive sentence summarization. Our results are superior compared to the average of the participant systems’ using DUC 2006. Furthermore, we add extractive paragraph summarization to the same system. It is surprising that the results are nearly the same for ROUGE metrics. Although extractive paragraph summarization has a better performance for ...

BACKGROUND Traditional submerged fermentation mainly accumulates intracellular orange pigments with absorption maxima at 470 nm, whereas extractive fermentation of Monascus spp. with Triton X-100 can promote the export of intracellular pigments to extracellular broth, mainly obtaining extracellular yellow pigments with absorption maxima at approximately 410 nm. In this study, a strain of Monasc...
