In this paper, we present a reordering model based on Maximum Entropy. This model is extended from a hierarchical reordering model with PBSMT (Galley and Manning, 2008), which integrates syntactic information directly in decoder as features of MaxEnt model. The advantages of this model are (1) maintaining the strength of phrase based approach with a hierarchical reordering model, (2) many kinds...

T}tE taxonomic relationship of the Blue Goose (Chen caerulesceus cacrulescens) and the Lesser Snow' Goose (Chcn hyperborca hyperborea) has long created controversy among avian systematists, e.g., Blaauw (1908), Soper (1930), Sutton (1932), Manning (1942), and Manning et aI. (1956). I believe that the two forms are conspecific and that the species consists of two subspecies: a large form, Chcn c...

closed-end furrows are commonly used to irrigate crop in northern part of china. the irrigation performance of furrow in this area is often low. the objectives of this paper are to verify reliability of infiltration parameters and manning roughness estimated with sipar_id software and present an optimized method for design of closed-end furrow system. the study consisted of field experiments an...

F Sellers Collins, who was sworn in as the 16th Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on Monday August 17, 2009, is well acquainted with big projects, big budgets, and big politics. He had previously served as director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) from 1993 to 2008, during which he oversaw the US publically financed arm of the Human Genome Project.1–4 Co...

Introduction: The role of past and present water is the current focus of the Mars Exploration Program. Athabasca Valles is widely considered to be the site of the most recent major aqueous floods on Mars [1-5]. However, the previous models used to investigate the hydraulics of this flood had significant limitations. The goal of this project is to modify and apply a cutting-edge hydraulic model ...

Abstract This study investigates the flow resistance and velocity distribution in a smooth triangular channel under varying slope conditions laboratory environment. For this purpose, two cross-sectional shaped channels with 30° 45° sidewall slopes were made. In various hydraulic conditions, bed carried out at different discharges channels. The results have been used to test stage-discharge curv...
