This paper presents modifications to a standard probabilistic context-free grammar that enable a predictive parser to avoid garden pathing without resorting to any ad-hoc heuristic repair. The resulting parser is shown to apply efficiently to both newspaper text and telephone conversations with complete coverage and excellent accuracy. The distribution over trees is peaked enough to allow the p...

The purpose of this study is to review representative cases of green space development in order to compare the Garden City concept and Green Belt concept as applied and to examine its direction in major Asian and Oceanic cities. The results of previous studies and this study show that there are two major directions in such green-oriented city planning. One direction is toward Multi-Regional Dev...

BACKGROUND Olive trees (Olea europaea subsp. europaea var. europaea) naturally grow in areas spanning the Mediterranean basin and towards the East, including the Middle East. In the Iranian plateau, the presence of olives has been documented since very ancient times, though the early history of the crop in this area is shrouded in uncertainty. METHODS The varieties presently cultivated in Ira...

ZGARBOVÁ, M.: Fundamental phenomenological categories of garden and landscape. Acta univ. agric. et silvic. Mendel. Brun., 2012, LX, No. 8, pp. 299–306 The current scientifi c methods describing gardens and landscapes all over the world are not always suffi cient for the purpose of deep understanding of specifi c and close relations between landscape/ garden and its inhabitants/visitors. A new ...

We show new results about the garden-hose model. Our main results include improved lower bounds based on non-deterministic communication complexity (leading to the previously unknown Θ(n) bounds for Inner Product mod 2 and Disjointness), as well as an O(n · log n) upper bound for the Distributed Majority function (previously conjectured to have quadratic complexity). We show an efficient simula...

Gardens represent important sources of goods and services for their owners. This functionality translates directly into the types of plants cultivated in a given garden, and terminology has been developed to distinguish each category of garden according to its purpose. The factors explaining the differentiation and distribution of gardens have not previously been explored at the global scale. I...

INTRODUCTION At the modern age, to acquire knowledge and experience, the individuals with their own specific culture have to enter contexts with cultural diversity, adapt to different cultures and have social interactions to be able to have effective inter-cultural relationships.To have such intercultural associations and satisfy individual needs in the society, cultural intelligence and social...

Tranditional Chinese medicine (TCM) was successfully used in many cases of chronic disease treatment. The fungus garden of termite, a mixture of leaves, growing fungi, and secretion of termite, is often used for protection of the liver, and treatments for disorder diseases, Parkinson's disease (PD), and so on. However, the mechanism is unknown. To reveal the effective component, we applied the ...

BACKGROUND Childhood obesity is an epidemic. Strategies are needed to promote children's healthy habits related to diet and physical activity. School gardens have the potential to bolster children's physical activity and reduce time spent in sedentary activity; however little research has examined the effect of gardens on children's physical activity. This randomized controlled trial (RCT) exam...
