Given that the health of many immigrants declines after increasing years in their host countries and that there may be gender differences in these experiences, this exploratory study's main objective was twofold: a) assess the relationship between acculturative stress and negative health (ie both mental and physical) and b) determine if there were any gender differences in these stress-health r...

Vanillin is an interesting corrosion inhibitor because of its safe use and high solubility inwater. The effect of vanillin on the corrosion inhibition of carbon steel in 1.0 Mhydrochloric acid solution has been studied using potentiodynamic polarization,electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical noise (EN) techniques.The effect of temperature on the rate of corrosion in th...

The effect of Mentha spicata L. extract on the corrosion behaviour of carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl solution was investigated using polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and electrochemical noise (EN) techniques. The solution containing 250 ppm of the ethanolic solution of extract showed the highest inhibition efficiency (IE). The effect of temperature on the rate of corrosion ...

We address two key challenges in end-to-end event coreference resolution research: (1) the error propagation problem, where an event coreference resolver has to assume as input the noisy outputs produced by its upstream components in the standard information extraction (IE) pipeline; and (2) the data annotation bottleneck, where manually annotating data for all the components in the IE pipeline...

The eld of information extraction (IE) is concerned with applying natural language processing (NLP) and information retrieval (IR) techniques to the automatic extraction of essential details from text documents. We are exploring the use of machine learning methods for IE. While the most promising methods we have developed perform well for problems deened over a collection of electronic seminar ...
