Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures Back Close Full Screen / Esc Printer-friendly Version Interactive Discussion EGU Abstract Subsurface temperatures in Bangkok, where population and density increase rapidly, were analyzed to evaluate the effects of surface warming due to urbanization. The magnitude of surface warming evaluated from subsurface temperature in Bangkok was 1.7 • C w...

This paper explains how we define and represent modality in E-HowNet. Following Lyons (1977, reviewed in Hsieh 2003, among others), we hold that modals express a speaker’s opinion or attitude toward a proposition and hence have a pragmatic dimension and recognize five kinds of modal categories, i.e. epistemic, deontic, ability, volition and expectation modality. We then present a representation...

Eco-friendly green synthesis is one of the promising branches of nanoscience for applications in different biomedical fields. It makes more attractive potential option due to non toxic and very low cost of synthesis. This paper deals with the synthesis of eco-friendly and cost effective gold nanoparticles by using leaf extract of neem (Azadirachta indica) as reducing agent. The SEM image shows ...

In this paper, we will examine the problem of distance function computation and indexing uncertain data in high dimensionality for nearest neighbor and range queries. Because of the inherent noise in uncertain data, traditional distance function measures such as the Lqmetric and their probabilistic variants are not qualitatively effective. This problem is further magnified by the sparsity issue...

a manufacturing process cannot be released to production until it has been proven to be stable. also, we cannot begin to talk about process capability until we have demonstrated stability in our process. this means that the process variation is the result of random causes only and all assignable or special causes have been removed. in complicated manufacturing processes, such as drilling proces...

A group of individuals who share the same interest or a task, would proot from making use of the knowledge possessed by the group. It is then essential that such a body of knowledge, or \community knowledge", be captured in an eeective manner. This paper describes the notion of Concept Index, which aims to index important concepts described in a collection of documents belonging to a group, and...

In this paper, we propose a measurement based TCP-friendly rate control (TFRC) that adjusts the coding rates according to the channel characteristics of the wireless-to-wired network. To avoid the throughput degradation of multimedia flows traveling through wireless link, the proposed rate control system employs a new loss differentiation algorithm using packet loss statistics. This method can ...

This article examines the basic social science concepts of "power" and "social exchange" in order to determine the possibility and desirability of integrating them. It is argued that: (1) all exchange relationships can be described in terms of conventional power concepts without twisting the common-sense notions that underlie such concepts; (2) most-but not necessarily all-power relationships c...
