In a landmark paper in the mechanism design literature, Cremer and McLean (1985) (CM for short) show that when a bidders valuation is correlated with an external signal, a monopolistic seller is able to extract the full social surplus as revenue. In the original paper and subsequent literature, the focus has been on ex-post incentive compatible (or IC) mechanisms, mechanisms where truth telling...

Remote sensing information extraction is the key step of remote sensing application, and water body is one of its main targets. Thus, the automatic and high-precise extraction of water information from remotely sensed images is of great significance and urgently required in research fields of water resources investigation, natural disaster evaluation, even global ecological environment evolutio...

A worthy text summarization should represent the fundamental content of document. Recent studies on computerized tried to present solutions this challenging problem. Attention models are employed extensively in process. Classical attention techniques utilized acquire context data decoding phase. Nevertheless, without real and efficient feature extraction, produced summary may diverge from core ...

This paper presents the design of a solar tracking system driven by a mnicrochip PIC 18F452 micro controller. The system is based on two mechanisms. The first one is the search mechanism (PILOT) which locates the position of the sun. The second mechanism(intelligent PANELS) aligns itself with the PILOT only if maximum energy possible could be extracted. On top of that the main advantage of the ...

Antibody production and affinity maturation are driven by B cell extraction and internalization of antigen from immune synapses. However, the extraction mechanism remains poorly understood. Here we develop DNA-based nanosensors to interrogate two previously proposed mechanisms, enzymatic liberation and mechanical force. Using antigens presented by either artificial substrates or live cells, we ...

In this study, the problem of unstructured information extraction has been analyzed and the need for a new Information Extraction algorithm is justified. We propose an Intelligent Information Extraction using Java Agent Development Environment (JADE) to be an optimal solution for intelligent information extraction. This proposed algorithm first assigns intelligent agents to gathering data, whic...

This paper present a simulation of motion interpretation of trochoid path generated by a single point on a rotating disc translating in the frontoparallel plane of the visual eld. The process involves two mechanisms. First, the extraction of relative motion in a group motion and second the presence an attention mechanism. Speci cally, the paper present neural simulation results for cycloidal mo...

A new microfluidic approach to preparing anisotropic colloidal photonic crystal microparticles is developed and the self-assembly kinetics of colloidal nanoparticles is discussed. Based on the “coffee ring” effect in the self-assembly process of colloidal silica particle in strong solvent extraction environment, we successfully prepared anisotropic photonic crystal microparticles with different...

these documents contain. Manual annotation is impractical and unscalable, and automatic annotation tools remain largely undeveloped. Specialized knowledge services therefore require tools that can search and extract specific knowledge directly from unstructured text on the Web, guided by an ontology that details what type of knowledge to harvest. An ontology uses concepts and relations to class...
