summarization is defined as " The process of concisely restating the essential ideas of a text or passage, and synthesizing the ideas into an overarching, idea ". There is an increasing need of coming up with ideas that can perfectly generate summaries as there is large repository of data present online but to get to the right information is indeed very difficult. In order to achieve this task ...

The MEAD summarization system, currently being developed at the University of Michigan, produces a summary of the user’s desired length, based on one or more source documents. Recently, MEAD has been slightly adapted, and is now compatible for the summarization of this year’s Document Understanding Conference (DUC 2002) articles. In addition, we have recently introduced an interactive, online n...

This study examined the total polyphenol content of eight wild edible plants from Ethiopia and their effect on NO production in Raw264.7 cells. Owing to its relatively high polyphenol concentration and inhibition of NO production, the methanol extract of Adansonia digitata L. leaf (MEAD) was subjected to detailed evaluation of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Antioxidant effects w...

Mead is a traditional drink, which results from the alcoholic fermentation of diluted honey carried out by yeasts. However, when it is produced in a homemade way, mead producers find several problems, namely, the lack of uniformity in the final product, delayed and arrested fermentations, and the production of "off-flavours" by the yeasts. These problems are usually associated with the inabilit...

We report here a derivatization headspace method for the analysis of inorganic iodine in water. Samples from Lake Mead, the Las Vegas Wash, and from Las Vegas tap water were examined. Lake Mead and the Las Vegas Wash contained a mixture of both iodide and iodate. The average concentration of total inorganic iodine (TII) for Lake Mead was approximately 90 nM with an iodide-to-iodate ratio of app...

Electricity demand forecasting model based on single algorithm at least have two problems related to local optima and computational cost. We consider to utilised the hybrid real value genetic algorithm and extended Nelder-Mead to solved local optima and reduced the number of iteration. The model is known as the hybrid Real-Value GA and Extended Nelder-Mead (RVGA-ENM). The GA has been enhanced t...
