plane and mulberry trees play a crucial role in purifying the polluted air in tehran as a majorcity. in this research, 13 main districts of tehran city were chosen as study area. 20 completely healthy planeand mulberry species were selected in similar ecological conditions and age range. the uptake of cd and pbwas determined using spectrophotometry, whereas the chlorophyll content was measured ...

This paper explores a relationship between parameters for the context tree weighting and weights for a general model weighting technique. In particular, an algorithm is proposed that approximately computes the parameters from the weights, and a condition under which no error for the approximation occurs is derived. key words: model weighting technique, tree source, context tree weighting.

Whether a family history user is beginning to build their family tree or working in a well-developed tree already containing thousands of relatives, retaining context of how all of their relatives are related to them is often difficult. To aid users with this problem, many genealogy products include relationship calculators to show the relationships between two persons. However, these relations...

Among the multitude of learning algorithms that can be employed for deriving quantitative structure-activity relationships, regression trees have the advantage of being able to handle large data sets, dynamically perform the key feature selection, and yield readily interpretable models. A conventional method of building a regression tree model is recursive partitioning, a fast greedy algorithm ...

We propose a tree-similarity-based unsupervised learning method to extract relations between Named Entities from a large raw corpus. Our method regards relation extraction as a clustering problem on shallow parse trees. First, we modify previous tree kernels on relation extraction to estimate the similarity between parse trees more efficiently. Then, the similarity between parse trees is used i...
