This paper describes SimpleNLG for German, a surface realisation engine for German based on SimpleNLG (Gatt and Reiter, 2009). Several features of the syntax of German and their implementation within the current framework are discussed, with a special focus on word order phenomena. Grammatical coverage of the system is demonstrated by means of selected examples.

This paper describes the application of an evolutionary optimization method to design satellite constellation for continuous regional coverage without intersatellite links. This configuration, called mutual coverage, is related to some technical limitations that exist on small satellite technology. The coverage of the north Algerian seismological network is taken as an example of application. A...

In this study, we applied cluster beam deposition (CBD) as a new approach for fabricating efficient plasmon-based photocatalytic materials. Au nanoclusters (AuNCs) produced in the gas phase were deposited on TiO₂ P25-coated silicon wafers with coverage ranging from 2 to 8 atomic monolayer (ML) equivalents. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images of the AuNCs modified TiO₂ P25 films show that ...

Health technology assessments represent comprehensive summaries of available evidence and information on a technology. They are used by medical decision makers in a variety of ways, including diagnostic testing, treatment selection, care management, patient perspectives, patient safety, insurance coverage, pharmaceutical innovation, equipment planning, device purchasing, and total cost-of-care....

To achieve the unification of precise irrigation management, the system integrated GSM wireless communication technology, sensor technology, computer technology, automatic monitoring, and control technology in the study process. The system included the acquisition subsystem, the intelligent decision subsystem, and automatic control subsystem, with the advantages of the GSM internet, such as wid...

From plant research to biomedicine, proteome analysis plays a critical role in many areas of biological inquiry. Steady improvement in mass spectrometer (MS) technology has transformed the speed and depth of proteome analysis. Proteomes of simple organisms can now be sequenced to near completion in just over an hour. Comparable coverage of mammalian proteomes, however, still requires hours or e...

In TREC 2003, IRIT improved the strategy that was introduced in TREC 2002. A sentence is considered as relevant if it matches the topic with a certain level of coverage. This coverage depends on the category of terms used in the texts. Different types of terms have been defined: highly relevant, scarcely relevant, nonrelevant and highly non-relevant. With regard to the novelty part, a sentence ...

in wireless sensor networks (wsns), localization algorithms could be range-based or range-free. the approximate point in triangle (apit) is a range-free approach. we propose modification of the apit algorithm and refer as modified-apit. we select suitable triangles with appropriate distance between anchors to reduce pit test errors (edge effect and non-uniform placement of neighbours) in apit a...

vaccination considered as one of the most cost-effective health interventions worldwide  through prevention and control of many serious childhood diseases (1). it is estimated  global coverage of  dose 3 of diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (dtp3)among children one year old has been 86% in 2014 (by range from 77% to 96%  in african region and western pacific region; respectively) (2). globally...
