In Statistics-Based Summarization Step One: Sentence Compression, Knight and Marcu (Knight and Marcu, 2000) (K&M) present a noisy-channel model for sentence compression. The main difficulty in using this method is the lack of data; Knight and Marcu use a corpus of 1035 training sentences. More data is not easily available, so in addition to improving the original K&M noisy-channel model, we cre...

Novel fabrication techniques and polymer systems are being explored to enable mass production of low cost microfluidic devices. In this contribution we discuss a new fabrication scheme for making microfluidic devices containing porous polymer components in situ. Contact lithography, a living radical photopolymer (LRPP) system and salt leaching were used to fabricate multilayer microfluidic devi...

An oscillatory MHD convective flow of an incompressible, viscoelastic and electrically conducting fluid in a vertical porous channel is analyzed. The two porous plates are subjected to a constant injection and suction velocity as shown in Fig.1. A magnetic field of uniform strength is applied perpendicular to the plates of the channel. The magnetic Reynolds number is assumed to be very small so...

Main theme of present investigation is to model and analyze the peristaltic activity of Carraeu-Yasuda nanofluid saturating porous space in a curved channel. Unlike the traditional approach, the porous medium effects are characterized by employing modified Darcy's law for Carreau-Yasuda fluid. To our knowledge this is first attempt in this direction for Carreau-Yasuda fluid. Heat and mass trans...

Abstract—This work consists of a numerical simulation of convective heat transfer in a vertical plane channel filled with a heat generating porous medium, in the absence of local thermal equilibrium. The walls are maintained to a constant temperature and the inlet velocity is uniform. The dynamic range is described by the Darcy-Brinkman model and the thermal field by two energy equations model....

The peristaltic flow of a Jeffrey fluid with variable viscosity through a porous medium in an asymmetric channel is investigated. The channel asymmetric is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on thewall of different amplitude and phase. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations for the Jeffrey fluid model are derived in Cartesian coordinates system. Analytic solutions f...

this study seeks to examine how a company can select the best intermediary for its marketing channels with minimum of criteria and time. a theoretical framework is proposed based on the most important tasks of intermediary and the criteria to measure them. there are four basic tasks and thirty criteria in three independent levels. subsequently, an exploratory case study in iranian food industry...
