In this paper, we present a flexible approach to the efficient and exhaustive manual annotation of text documents. For this purpose, we extend WebAnno (Yimam et al., 2013) an open-source web-based annotation tool.1 While it was previously limited to specific annotation layers, our extension allows adding and configuring an arbitrary number of layers through a web-based UI. These layers can be a...

Parallel execution offers a solution to the problem of reducing the response time of object-rela-tional queries against large databases. A database management system answers a query by first finding a procedural plan to execute the query and subsequently executing the plan to produce the query result. In this thesis we address all significant levels of the query processing architecture in order...

We investigate split and ST bisimulation semantics, in particular the deadlock behaviour of processes in these semantics. \"le define and axiomatise a variant of ACP, where atomic actions and durational actions coexist, and define split and ST bisimulation semantics on this theory. We exhibit a closed term that has a deadlock in split semantics, but not in ST bisimulation semantics, and vice ve...

This article introduces a new class of experimental designs, called split factorials, which allow for the estimation of both response surface effects (fixed effects of crossed factors) and variance components arising from nested random effects. With an economical run size, split factorials provide flexibility in dividing the degrees of freedom among the different estimations. For a split factor...

n order to investigate the effect of nitrogen fertilizer rates and top dressed on nitrogen remobilization in different rice cultivars, a field experiment was conducted in the rice research institute of iran (amol) during 2006. a split split experiment in the basis of randomized complete block design with 3 replications and 3 factors were used in which fertilizer rates in 3 levels (including 46,...

Split procedures have been proved to be efficient within global framework optimization for routing problems by splitting giant tour into trips. This is done by generating optimal shortest path within an auxiliary graph built from the giant tour. An efficient application has been introduced for the first time by Lacomme et al. (2001) within a metaheuristic approach to solve the Capacitated Arc R...

     For investigation deficit irrigation and nitrogen application effect on nutrients uptake of henna ecotypes, this research was conducted in the form of split-split-plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications in the Research Field of Islamic Azad University, Jiroft, Iran in 2013-2014. The main, sub and sub-sub plot were deficit irrigation (100, 75 and 50% of ...
