Toshiba participated in the Monolingual and Bilingual IR tasks at NTCIR-5 CLIR using the BRIDJE system. We submitted 24 runs covering three topic languages (Japanese, English and Chinese) and two document languages (Japanese and English), and achieved the highest performances in the E-J-T, EJ-D, C-J-T, C-J-D, J-E-T and J-E-D subtasks. This paper (re-)examines Partial Disambiguation and the Pivo...

in this paper, an exact geometric algorithm is presented for solving two-job sequencing and scheduling problems in flexible flow shop and job shop environments while the resources are (un)available in some time periods and processors (un)availability is the same in all work centers. this study seems utterly new and it is applicable to any performance measure based on the completion time. the in...

The non-orthogonal boundary-fitted coordinate transformation method is applied to the solution of steady three-dimensional conservation equations of mass, momentum, energy and speciescontinuity to obtain the laminar velocity, temperature and concentration fields for simulation of polymerization of styrene in arbitrary cross-sectional duct reactors. Variable physical properties (except for speci...
