At NTCIR-9, we participated in the cross-lingual link discovery (Crosslink) task. In this paper we describe our approaches to discovering Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) cross-lingual links for English documents in Wikipedia. Our experimental results show that a link mining approach that mines the existing link structure for anchor probabilities and relies on the “translation” using cross-l...

This paper introduces the RASH Framework, i.e., a set of specifications and tools for writing academic articles in RASH, a simplified version of HTML. RASH focuses strictly on writing the content of the paper leaving all the issues about its validation, visualisation, conversion, and data extraction to the tools developed within the framework.

The current study was conducted at the agriculture research farm of Department Genetics and Plant Breeding, School Agriculture, Lovely Professional University, Punjab during kharif season 2022. A Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications were used to variability, correlation path including 20 Green gram germplasm for 13 traits studied viz. days 50% flowering, maturity, plant height,...

The natural history and conservation status of the West Indian endemic freshwater crabs genus Epilobocera are poorly known. Several species have restricted distributions apparently specific ecological requirements, which make them particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic threats. capolongoi is known occur exclusively in mountain streams rivers above 300 m elevation Guamuhaya Massif, central Cub...

The relationship between social segregation and workplace segregation had been traditionally studied as a one-way causal relationship mediated by referral hiring. In this paper we introduce an alternative framework which describes the dynamic relationships between social segregation, workplace segregation, individuals’ homophily levels, and referral hiring. An agent-based simulation model was d...

Since the Supreme Court’s 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, researchers and policymakers have paid close attention to trends in school segregation. Here we review the evidence regarding these trends and their consequences. In general, the evidence regarding trends in segregation suggests that the most significant declines in school segregation occurred at the end of the 1960s and the s...

Two conceptual and methodological foundations of segregation studies are that (i) segregation involves more than one group, and (ii) segregation measures need to quantify how different population groups are distributed across space. Therefore, percentage of population belonging to a group is not an appropriate measure of segregation because it does not describe how populations are spread across...

The ability to distinguish a figure from its background is crucial for visual perception. To date, it remains unresolved where and how in the visual system different stages of figure-ground segregation emerge. Neural correlates of figure border detection have consistently been found in early visual cortex (V1/V2). However, areas V1/V2 have also been frequently associated with later stages of fi...
