Recognising how difficult it is for some countries to fully eliminate animal diseases from their territory as a whole or to maintain an animal disease free status in parts of their national territory, the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) has introduced the concepts of 'zoning' and 'compartmentalisation' for the purposes of disease control and international trade. Full definitions of t...

Abstract As China’s rapid development has gradually expanded beyond urban areas, vernacular landscape as a significant expression of local conditions receives more and attention. This paper aims to formulate comprehensive zoning scheme for landscapes China. The applies methods technical means the Geographic Information System. Based on understanding concept, main factors that determine feature ...

The ecosystem services conservation zoning framework offers an alternative to current land use decision processes that present incomplete, misinformed, and unaccountable land use options and alternatives. The framework presents holistic tools to make more informed land use decisions, and begins to integrate ecosystem services into the existing polices that govern land development. The principal...

The aim of argumentation mining is the automatic detection and identification of the argumentative structure contained within a piece of natural language text. In this paper we present the ArgMine Framework: an alignment of tools and processes that facilitate and partially automate argumentation mining research. We also report on a preliminary exploitation of the framework, where we address arg...

Complex matrix model of data and knowledge representation is proposed for solution of a road-climatic zoning of the territories problem using an intelligent system. This model consists of: 1) an extended matrix model, which includes extended description and distinguishing matrices (the extension is realized by the way of including of additional columns into the description matrix) for the terri...

Zoning is one of the popular methods used for the optical character recognition of documents. In this paper the zoning approach is used for recognition of printed Kannada numerals. The input scanned document image containing printed Kannada numerals is binarized. The noise present in the document in the form of tiny dots is eliminated. The row segmentation followed by the column segmentation is...

Routing Protocols are engaged in a vigorous fashion to boost up energy efficiency in WSNs. In this paper, we propose a novel routing protocol; Minimum distance Based Energy efficiency using Hemisphere Zoning with Advanced Divide-and-Rule scheme (M-BEHZAD), to maximize network lifespan, throughput and stability period of the sensors deployed in an un-attended network zone. To accomplish these ob...

Scientific writing can be hard for novice writers, even in their own language. We present a system that applies Argumentative Zoning (AZ) (Teufel & Moens 2002), a method of determining argumentative structure in texts, to the task of advising novice writers on their writing. We address this task by automatically determining the rhetorical/argumentative status and the implicit author stance of a...

Introduction: Type B1 CAIs are a major type of refractory inclusion in CV3 carbonaceous chondrites. An intriguing feature of fassaite in many Type B1 inclusions is complex zoning within single crystals. Seen in backscattered electron images (BEIs), the zoning reflects irregular, sometimes patchy, distributions of TiO2 and correlated and anticorrelated oxides; this zoning is not synonymous with ...
