In a trial conducted at the University of Minnesota Southwest research and Outreach Center, Lamberton, MN, Headline fungicide was applied at three rates at V5, at two rates at R2 and at one rate at V5 and R2. At R4, Headline, Quadris Tilt ad Bravo were applied at a single rate each. Additionally at R4 Warrior was applied alone and in combination with Headline and Quadris, Lorsban was applied wi...

Guessing, or dictionary, attacks arise when an intruder exploits the fact that certain data like passwords may have low entropy, i.e. stem from a small set of values. In the case of off-line guessing, in particular, the intruder may employ guessed values to analyze the messages he has observed. Previous attempts at formalizing off-line guessing consist of extending a Dolev-Yao-style intruder mo...

Headline summarization is a difficult task because it requires maximizing text content in short summary length while maintaining grammaticality. This paper describes our first attempt toward solving this problem with a system that generates key headline clusters and fine-tunes them using templates.

In this paper, a multi-tag anti-collision method with collision signal recovery for UHF RFID systems is proposed. Signal recovery of 2 tags or 3 tags is adopted in the algorithm and the frame size is optimized accordingly. Simulation results show that the average system efficiency of the proposed anti-collision algorithm can be up to 67%, while the system efficiency of the algorithms without ad...

In a guessing game, players guess the value of a random real number selected using some probability density function. The winner may be determined in various ways; for example, a winner can be a player whose guess is closest in magnitude to the target, or a winner can be a player coming closest without guessing higher than the target. We study optimal strategies for players in these games and d...

Recent neural headline generation models have shown great results, but are generally trained on very large datasets. We focus our efforts on improving headline quality on smaller datasets by the means of pretraining. We propose new methods that enable pre-training all the parameters of the model and utilize all available text, resulting in improvements by up to 32.4% relative in perplexity and ...

Sportswashing is a neologism that has begun to appear with increasing regularity in the English-language media over past few years. However, there been limited academic discussion of term and certainly no sustained analysis what it might or not offer sports scholars. This lacuna particularly curious given rapid rise interest related issues, such as links between sport soft power, sporting mega ...

This paper delineates the simultaneous impact of non-anticipated information on first and second moments of the intraday price process by including appropriate variables accounting for the news flow into both the mean and the variance function. This allows us to differentiate between the consistent price reaction to surprising news and traders’ uncertainty about the precise price impact of this...
