This paper presents the results of an empirical study conducted with students following a distance education program. In the study questions posed were whether students could perform well in examinations using only the Learning Management System (LMS), whether they could use it in an efficient way and whether there was a relationship between students’ learning styles, number of LMS hits and lea...

This paper describes CMU’s system for the Tri-lingual Entity Discovery and Linking (TEDL) task at TAC-KBP 2015. Our system is a unified graph-based approach which is able to do concept disambiguation and entity linking simultaneously, leveraging the ontology built on Freebase. The results show that our system achieves competitive results for Chinese and Spanish.

This paper describes the Intelius-NYU 2012 system for the KBP Cold Start task. The Cold Start task can be decomposed into two subtasks: slot filling and entity linking. For slot filling, we focus on the adaptation of the NYU 2011 regular slot filling system to the Cold Start task. For entity linking, we apply Intelius‘s commercial conflation engine to link person and organization entities with ...

The major challenge for the tomato farmers is getting a fair price at the market price given that there are many actors involved in the tomato value chain. Given this situation, this project's goal was to improve communication pathways in dissemination of agricultural market information in tomato value chains in Iringa and Dodoma Regions in Tanzania. The specific objectives were to: identify an...

There is a debate regarding the suitability of global integrated assessment models (IAMs) for long-term planning exercises energy system. This study informs this from power system perspective and proposes methodological framework soft-linking IAMs with detailed models. With proposed open-source framework, scenario results can be fed into model to assess given scenarios enhanced modelling resolu...

Background: The present study aimed to analyze the situation of knowledge management among the faculty members in the four components, including creation, linking, organization and storage, and application. Methods: This is a survey research and the results are presented descriptively and analytically. The study tool was a questionnaire of knowledge management with 84 questions (creation of kno...

For accurate entity linking, we need to capture various information aspects of an entity, such as its description in a KB, contexts in which it is mentioned, and structured knowledge. Additionally, a linking system should work on texts from different domains without requiring domain-specific training data or hand-engineered features. In this work we present a neural, modular entity linking syst...

Linking and loading are the final steps in preparing a program for execution. This paper assesses issues concerning dynamic and static linking in traditional as well as single-address-space operating systems (SASOS). Related loading issues are also addressed. We present the dynamic linking model implemented in the Mungi SASOS and discuss its strengths and limitations. Benchmarking shows that dy...

proteases are important enzymes that their role in various industries is undeniable. however, keeping enzymes stable during its activity in harsh conditions is so important. in this study, protease enzyme was immobilized on the porous silica particles and its stability in different temperatures and phs was evaluated. first silica particles were aminated by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane then the ...
