During the last decade an increased focus on multiproject environments and management of projects can be observed in research literature and reports presented at seminars around the world [1]. As a support for this management of projects, it is common to apply a project model. There is a question if this usage of project models really helps at all. To find an answer we can investigate if any or...

Answer summarization is an important problem in the study of Question and Answering. In this paper, we deal with the general questions with “Yes/No” answers in English. We design 1) a model to score the relevance of the answers and the questions, and 2) a feature function combining the relevance and opinion scores to classify each answer to be “Yes”, “No” or “Neutral”. We combine the opinion fe...

In this paper we present results concerning the following question: If M is a finitely-generated module with finite local cohomologies over a Noetherian local ring (A,m), does there exist an integer l such that every parameter ideal for M contained in m has the same index of reducibility? We show that the answer is yes if dimM = 1 or if dimM = 2 and depthM > 0. This research is closely related ...

Predictive models, such as rule based classifiers, often have difficulty with incomplete data (e.g., erroneous/ missing values). So, this work presents a technique used to reduce the severity of the effects of missing data on the performance of rule base classifiers using divisive data clustering. The Clustering Rule based Approach (CRA) clusters the original training data and builds a separate...

introduction forest for biodiversity and ecological functions is the main natural habitats. the most important function of forest is zonal and global climate regulation, recreation and ecotourism, water saving, regulation of hydrological cycle, flood control, and prevention of soil erosion. valuation of public goods was noticeably widespread in the last decades. an understanding of the relation...

The lexical decision task is probably the most common laboratory visual word identification task together with the naming task. In the usual setup, participants need to press the "yes" button when the stimulus is a word and the "no" button when the stimulus is not a word. A number of studies have employed this task with developing readers; however, error rates and/or response times tend to be q...
