This paper presents a Function Word centered, Syntax-based (FWS) solution to address phrase ordering in the context of statistical machine translation (SMT). Motivated by the observation that function words often encode grammatical relationship among phrases within a sentence, we propose a probabilistic synchronous grammar to model the ordering of function words and their left and right argumen...

Subsurface agricultural drainage has allowed for enhanced crop production in many areas of the world including the upper Midwest, United States. However, the presence of nitrate-nitrogen (nitrate-N) in subsurface tile drainage water is a topic of intense scrutiny due to several water quality issues. Many studies have been conducted looking at ways to reduce nitrate-N in tile drainage (Baker et ...

BACKGROUND The Lab-score, based on the combined determination of procalcitonin, C-reactive protein and urinary dipstick results, has been shown accurate in detecting serious bacterial infections (SBI) in children with fever without source (FWS) on retrospective cohorts. We aimed to prospectively assess the utility of the Lab-score in safely decreasing antibiotic prescriptions in children with F...

Analysis of subsurface stormflow from 147 storms at the 20 m long trench in the Panola Mountain Research Watershed by Tromp-van Meerveld and McDonnell (2006a) showed that there was a distinct 55 mm precipitation threshold for significant subsurface stormflow production. This second paper in the series investigates the processes responsible for this threshold response. We installed a dense spati...

Introduction: Estimates of the global inventory of water on Mars based on a determination of the amount of water required to erode the outflow channels suggest that a quantity equivalent to a global ocean 0.5 to 1 km deep may be stored in the planet’s subsurface [1, 2]. As this inventory post dates the timing of the most efficient processes that may have lead to its removal, the majority of thi...

• The use of subsurface intake types for seawater RO facilities was documented. • Feedwater quality improvements by using subsurface intakes were demonstrated. • Reduced environmental impacts using subsurface intakes were discussed. • Capacity limits on various subsurface intake types were assessed. • Life-cycle cost savings using subsurface intakes were preliminarily analyzed. a b s t r a c t ...

Lateral surface/subsurface flow and their connectivity play a significant role in redistributing soil water, which has a direct effect on biological, chemical, and geomorphological processes in the root zone (~1m). However, most of the land surface models neglect the horizontal exchanges of water at the grid or subgrid scales, focusing only on the vertical exchanges of water as one-dimensional ...

Abstract Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy is the main feature of Fabry cardiomyopathy (FC), but right ventricle (RV) also frequently affected. Previous studies failed to demonstrate an independent association between RV or conventional parameters function and occurrence adverse outcomes in patients with FC. Nevertheless, if free wall strain (RV-FWS), assessed by 2D speckle tracking analysis, m...

sugarcane, which has high water requirements, is grown in khuzestan province (iran). climate and optimizing the use of water is very important to sustainable cultivation of sugarcane. studies of water requirements for sugar cane in khuzestan show that in parts of sugarcane agro-industry, the water applied is more than the actual water requirement of the plant. the present study was conducted to...
