Cut-and-Paste Text Summarization

In this paper, we evaluate the extent to which human-written book summaries can be obtained through cut-and-paste operations from the original book. We analyze the effect of the parameters involved in the decomposition algorithm, and highlight the distinctions in coverage obtained for different summary types.

In this work, the back surface field (BSF) formation of locally alloyed Al paste contacts employed in recent industrial passivated emitter and rear cell solar cell designs is discussed. A predictive model for resulting local BSF thickness and doping profile is proposed that is based on the time dependent Si distribution in the molten Al paste during the firing step. Diffusion of Si in liquid Al...

The consumption of tomatoes and tomato products has been associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer. We observed a decrease of 10.77% in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia who were submitted to daily ingestion of tomato paste. This was an experimental rather than a controlled study with a sample of 43 men ranging in age from 45 to 75 years...

This study was conducted to evaluate the antifungal activities of Cinnamomum zeylanicum and Origanum vulgare L. essential oil against Aspergillus flavus in culture media and tomato paste. 200 ppm of cinnamon and 500 ppm of oregano completely inhibited A. flavus growth in culture media, while in tomato paste 300 ppm of cinnamon and 200 ppm of oregano had the same effect. Test panel evaluations r...

This data article contains an atlas of paste fabrics and supplemental paste compositional data generated from Late Middle Preclassic-period ceramics at the Maya site of Holtun, Guatemala. The data include maps showing locations of archeological contexts, excavation profiles, photographs and photomicrographs of sherds and paste fabrics, and compositional data produced by Neutron Activation Analy...

This research investigates changes in the nanostructure and the nanoscale local mechanical properties of cement paste with microand nano-modifiers. Silica fume and multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used as microand nano-modifiers. An effective method of dispersing CNTs in cement matrix was developed. A detailed study on the effects of CNTs concentration and aspect ratio on the fracture p...

Cordless retraction paste material for gingival retraction in implant dentistry has recently become of interest to the clinician. However, few studies have been conducted on the use of retraction pastes and their possible interaction with implant surfaces. This in vitro study evaluated the effect of a cordless retraction paste material, Expasyl® (Acteon), on TiUnite® (Nobel Biocare) implant sur...

We have designed a tool called Recent Shortcuts, which helps manage coordination by making recently used objects easily accessible. Recent Shortcuts enables quick access to files, file folders, received attachments, people, and groups of people that the user interacted with recently for re-use in the user’s current context. The design of Recent Shortcuts was informed by an empirical study of te...

Following Roz Ivanič’s influential work on writing and identity, this chapter explores the effects of information technology in the writing of research and on the identity of the researcher. In particular, it suggests that the facility to copy, cut and paste is undermining the notion that research texts making original contributions to knowledge. By contrast, this capacity to copy, cut and past...
