In this paper, I describe a method of creating massively huge web corpora from the CommonCrawl data sets and redistributing the resulting annotations in a stand-off format. Current EU (and especially German) copyright legislation categorically forbids the redistribution of downloaded material without express prior permission by the authors. Therefore, stand-off annotations or other derivates ar...

Abstract Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) has been investigated to deposit large-scale metal parts due its high deposition efficiency and low material cost. However, in the process of automatically high-quality by WAAM, several problems about heat build-up, deposit-path optimization, stability parameters need be well addressed. To overcome these issues, a new WAAM method based on double e...

The present study examined whether a sit-to-stand score can be related to the force-generating capacity of knee extensor muscles. Fifty-seven subjects (28 men, 63.0+/-7.8 yrs, and 29 women, 64.2+/-7.5 yrs, means+/-SDs) performed a 10-repeated sit-to-stand test as fast as possible, on a steel molded chair. The time taken (T(sit-stand)) was measured with a manual stopwatch. The leg length (L), de...

In this study, a 33 full factorial design methodology was used to analyze the effects of spray parameters on thickness, hardness, and surface porosity low-pressure cold-sprayed WC-17Ni coatings. Three levels were selected for included in which powder feed rate (17.1 g/min, 21.1 23.7 g/min), gas temperature (475°C, 500°C, 525°C), nozzle substrate stand-off distance (3 mm, 5 10 mm). It found that...

Venturi-assisted ENTrainment and Ionization (VENTI) was developed, demonstrating efficient entrainment, collection, and transport of remotely sampled vapors, aerosols, and dust particulate for real-time mass spectrometry (MS) detection. Integrating the Venturi and Coandă effects at multiple locations generated flow and analyte transport from non-proximate locations and more importantly enhanced...

Background: In myocardial perfusion SPECT imaging, images are degraded by photon attenuation, the distance-dependent collimator, detector response and photons scatter. Filters greatly affect quality of nuclear medicine images Materials and Methods: A phantom simulating heart left ventricle was built. About 1mCi of 99mTc was injected into the phantom. Images were taken from this phantom. Some fi...

BACKGROUND Detection of buried improvised explosive devices (IEDs) is a delicate task, leading to a need to develop sensitive stand-off detection technology. The shape, composition and size of the IEDs can be expected to be revised over time in an effort to overcome increasingly sophisticated detection methods. As an example, for the most part, landmines are found through metal detection which ...

A high-order accurate shock- and interface-capturing scheme is used to simulate the collapse of a gas bubble in water. In order to better understand the damage caused by collapsing bubbles, the dynamics of the shock-induced and Rayleigh collapse of a bubble near a planar rigid surface and in a free field are analysed. Collapse times, bubble displacements, interfacial velocities and surface pres...

Agriculture contributes about 60% of New Zealand’s total greenhouse gas emissions. Management practices for reducing these emissions will be required to meet our future international commitments. This paper presents estimates of two practical on-farm measures for reducing total greenhouse gas emissions from an average dairy farm on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand: 1) the incor...

HEAs powders, unlike standard alloys which contain one or two base elements, are new that multiple elements in the same quantity. These materials have outstanding physical and mechanical properties for this reason, of great interest material science community their application advanced industrial sectors. In investigation, cold spray (CS) high-velocity oxy fuel (HVOF) processes were used to dep...
