The South Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, UK, is an internationally and nationally important landscape, which contains a significant proportion (28%) of the southeast of England's calcareous grassland resource. The traditional calcareous grassland habitats characteristic of the downland landscape have suffered significant losses since the Second World War, and the remaining sites are ...

Information Extraction (IE) and Summarization share the same goal of extracting and presenting the relevant information of a document. While IE was a primary element of early abstractive summarization systems, it's been left out in more recent extractive systems. However, extracting facts, recognizing entities and events should provide useful information to those systems and help resolve semant...

Using Ephestia kuehniella larvae as hosts, invert emulsion (IE) and an aqueous suspension (AS) of Beauveria bassiana (isolate IR34-JS2) and Metarhizium anisopliae (isolate IR41-TT1) formulations were compared when stored for three months at either 3 °C or 25 °C. Initially, IE formulations of isolates JS2 and TT1 were 13- and 14-fold more virulent than AS formulations, based on their LC50 values...

The conventional and reliability-based service life methodologies for coating systems are compared with respect to their predictive abilities. It was concluded from this comparison that the scientific merit of several of the underlying premises of the conventional methodology are suspect. Specifically, the premise which draws into question the merit of the conventional methodology is the belief...

The high degree of parasitic variability in Heterodera glycines and its distribution in a wide range of soybean production systems present multiple challenges for management, which necessitate increased understanding of the biology of H. glycines. Soil amendments are being considered either as stand-alone and/or as part of integrated management approaches. A recycled municipal biosolid with nut...

Traditional Information Extraction (IE) takes a relation name and hand-tagged examples of that relation as input. Open IE is a relationindependent extraction paradigm that is tailored to massive and heterogeneous corpora such as theWeb. An Open IE system extracts a diverse set of relational tuples from text without any relation-specific input. How is Open IE possible? We analyze a sample of Eng...
