Abstract The assessment of eco-environmental carrying capacity is the focus planning environmental impact and an important basis for determining whether can be implemented. Based on theory method ECO-environmental assessment, this paper applies analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to analyze ecological resilience, resource-environment mining pressure mineral resources. A comprehensive evaluation mo...

Medical texts are filled with mentions of diseases, disorders, and other clinical conditions, with many different surface forms relating to the same condition. We describe MINERAL, a system for extraction and normalization of disease mentions in clinical text, with which we participated in the Task 14 of SemEval 2015 evaluation campaign.
