In this paper, we study the problem of summarizing email conversations. We first build a sentence quotation graph that captures the conversation structure among emails. We adopt three cohesion measures: clue words, semantic similarity and cosine similarity as the weight of the edges. Second, we use two graph-based summarization approaches, Generalized ClueWordSummarizer and PageRank, to extract...

Wolfgang Klippel Klippel GmbH Germany www.klippel.de ABSTRACT A new auralization technique is presented for the objective and subjective assessment of drivers in the large signal domain. Using the results of the large signal parameter identification a digital model of the particular driver is realized in a digital signal processor (DSP) to simulate the sound pressure output for any given input ...

Five different commonly prescribed ankle-foot devices for below-knee prostheses were tested for effects on gait: SACH, SAFE, SEATTLE, SINGLE AXIS, and MULTIPLE AXIS. Subjective ratings by the amputees served to resolve which physical variables determined the preferred ankle-foot device. Ratings were related to age, body weight, length of residual limb, and ratio of stride frequency to stride le...

The purpose of this study was to examine the process of embodied cognition in distance estimation. According to recent cognitive science studies, our intelligent behavior that ranges from perception to inference is not accomplished in only a closed mental process, but is affected by body and action. However, previous studies do not clarify whether these effects were derived from physical load o...

The topology of multi-region opportunistic sensor networks is evolving, and it difficult to identify the key nodes in by traditional node identification methods. In this paper, a novel method based on improved TOPSIS proposed from ferry node. dynamic information represented graph model which modeled temporal reachable graph. Based graph, three attributes are constructed node, average degree, be...

Using pedigree and performance records obtained from two Merino breeders the phenotypic and genetic relationship between subjectively assessed sheep and wool traits and objectively measured wool traits were estimated. The subjective traits were all favourably genetically correlated with fibre diameter. The genetic relationship with body weight, greasy fleece weight and fibre diameter variation ...

OBJECTIVE Recent research has shown the Köhler motivation gain effect (working at a task with a more capable partner where one's performance is indispensable to the group) leads to greater effort in partnered exercise videogame play. The purpose of this article was to examine potential moderators of the Köhler effect by exploring dissimilarities in one's partner's appearance, namely, having an ...

asparagus racemosus willd. has repeatedly been mentioned as a galactogogue in ayurvedic literature and has been confirmed through animal experiments as well. this randomized double-blind clinical trial evaluates its galactogogue effect in 60 lactating mothers by measurement of changes in their prolactin hormone level during the study. several secondary parameters namely mothers’ weight, babies’...
