Different aspects and approaches to commonsense reasoning have been investigated in order to provide solutions for the Winograd Schema Challenge (WSC). The vast complexities of natural language processing (parsing, assigning word sense, integrating context, pragmatics and world-knowledge, ...) give broad appeal to systems based on statistical analysis of corpora. However, solutions based purely...

Acknowledgements: This research was supported by a collaborative NSF grant #2015-0285-00. Over the last three decades, a research design has emerged to evaluate the performance of non-experimental designs and design features in field settings. It is called the within-study comparison (WSC) approach, or design replication study. In the traditional WSC design, treatment effects from a randomized ...

Web Services Composition (WSC) is a paradigm for enabling application integration within and across organizational boundaries. Nowadays, the main challenges of WSC in environment like Internet are to ensure high quality execution. Former works on service composition have enabled the elaboration of the BPEL4WS standard. Nevertheless, the management of the Quality of Service (QoS) of service comp...

The Web Service Composition (WSC) is a prominent technique to help software developers to easily build applications on top of the Service Oriented Architecture. Given a set of web services and a user request, the aim of the WSC problem is to construct an optimal composite web service to satisfy the request. In this paper, in particular, we study the Quality of Services (QoS)-aware WSC problem t...

As the worlds computation continues to move into the massive datacenter infrastructures recently coined as “warehouse-scale computers” (WSCs), developing highly efficient systems for these computing platforms is increasingly critical. The architecture of modern WSCs remain in their relative infancy. WSC architects have started with commodity off-the-shelf components including commodity processo...

Abstract Although workplace social capital (WSC) is a relevant construct that contributes positively to employee and organizational wellness, there lack of consensus regarding its definition measurement. The aim this paper was synthesize valid WSC develop an instrument measuring the construct. Based on literature review existing definitions (Phase 1), we conceptualized as resource concerns empl...

this study was conducted to determine the effects of feeding different levels of whole cottonseed (0, 5, 10 and 15 % wsc) on dry matter intake (dmi), live weight gain and feed conversion ratio (fcr), carcass efficiency and small intestinal morphology of arabi finishing lambs. thirty-six arabi male lambs (29.8±1.6 kg) were allocated to 4 groups according to a completely randomized design. the di...

Barley crop grown in semiarid areas may experience water deficit especially during grain filling that makes them more dependent on stem water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC). Fructans are the most important reserved carbohydrates. A pot experiment was undertaken at Shahid Chamran university in the duration of 2010-2011 growing seasons to investigate the accumulation and loss of WSC and the activity...

The remobilization of water soluble carbohydrates (WSC) has an important role for grain yield. This study investigated the accumulation and remobilization of WSC in non-leaf organs (chaff, upper stem, and lower stem) and their contribution to grain yield, under different irrigation levels (rainfed, reduced irrigation, and full irrigation) and seeding rate treatments (450, 600 and 750 plants...

information on quality characteristics of forage species help the range managers to select a suitable grazing program that minimizes the damages to vegetation. water soluble carbohydrates (wsc) -the main photosynthetic products- are stored in various plant parts and are more likely to be consumed when plants require them. in order to investigate the changes of wsc in distinguishable organs in t...
