polybutadiene nanoparticles were synthesized via batch emulsion polymerization of butadiene in the presence of potassium persulfate, disproportionate rosinate potassium cation and t-dodecyl mercaptane as initiator, emulsifier and chain transfer agent, respectively. polymerization reaction was performed at different temperatures (60, 70 and 80 °c). conversion was measured at the various time int...

We describe a method for automatically rating the machine translatability of a sentence for various machine translation (MT) systems. The method requires that the MT system can bidirectionally translate sentences in both source and target languages. However, it does not require reference translations, as is usual for automatic MT evaluation. By applying this method to every component of a sente...

Text summarization is one of the oldest problems in natural language processing. Popular approaches rely on extracting relevant sentences from the original documents. As a side effect, sentences that are too long but partly relevant are doomed to either not appear in the final summary, or prevent inclusion of other relevant sentences. Sentence compression is a recent framework that aims to sele...

Translation of discourse relations is one of the recent efforts of incorporating discourse information to statistical machine translation (SMT). While existing works focus on disambiguation of ambiguous discourse connectives, or transformation of discourse trees, only explicit discourse relations are tackled. A greater challenge exists in machine translation of Chinese, since implicit discourse...

We propose a method for improving the dependency parsing of complex sentences. This method assumes segmentation of input sentences into clauses and does not require to re-train a parser of one’s choice. We represent a sentence clause structure using clause charts that provide a layer of embedding for each clause in the sentence. Then we formulate a parsing strategy as a two-stage process where ...

The Data Availability statement for this paper is incorrect. The correct statement is: The unigenes information was deposited in the Sequence Read Archive (SRA) database in NCBI (Accession number, SRP055854). In the subsection Analysis of transcriptome sequencing results of the Materials and Methods section, the final sentence of the first paragraph references the incorrect accession number. Th...

An earlier version of Fig 4 was published. Please view the correct Fig 4 here. There is an error in the second sentence of the final paragraph of the Results and Discussion section. The correct sentence is: Although only 10 CAZymes, FOLymes, and proteases were enriched in all three gongylidia samples, 40 plant biomass-degrading enzymes were enriched in at least one sample and 123 of these enzym...

There is an error in the final sentence of the paragraph titled " Monomer-dimer equilibrium " in the Results section. The correct sentence is: The dissociation constants with and without MgCl2 can be estimated to 50μM and 200μM, respectively (S5 Fig). Copyright: © 2016 Zühlsdorf et al.
