Because we are in transition from one system (VOX) to another (INLET), our scores reflect the performance of a very new and incomplete analyzer, as well as a small vocabulary and knowledge base. To be able to participate in MUC3, we implemented only a skimming capability, rather than a full-fledged syntax-driven language analyzer . Considering the statu s of our project, we feel INLET's perform...

the purpose of this study was to measure reading comprehension strategies when tell me more and sweet english software were utilized to enhance the traditional reading comprehension practice. the study focused on evaluation of four strategies (i.e., scanning, skimming, inferencing and headline guessing) in reading comprehension in three different classes at an english language institute in iran...

The lack of sidewalls in a spillway leads to lateral expansion the flow and, consequently, non-uniform transversal rate distribution along chute. present work shows velocity field measured physical model 1 V:0.8 H steeply sloping stepped without sidewalls. An application Bubble Image Velocimetry (BIV) technique self-aerated region is shown, using air bubbles entrained into downstream inception ...

An investigation of wind flow and sand transport over a low to high density Ammophila dominated foredune on the Łeba barrier, Poland, utilizing multiple anemometers traps is presented. The study provides first resolution data modified saltation suspended under conditions both canopy skimming flow. Topographic acceleration topographic steering were observed during oblique incident above threshol...

Cost-effective high-performance IR imaging cameras based on Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors (QWIP) need CMOS readout structures which allow effective operation at temperatures compatible with inexpensive long-life coolers. At such high temperatures (around 72 K), the QWIP suffers from large background and dark currents (Fig. 1), which have a tendency to saturate the integrating capacitor i...

We developed a support system for skimming documents on computer screen. The system has interface for document readability from computer screen and recommends personalized summaries. The interface of this system is introduced the visualized effect based on combining fisheye view and overview+detail; the focus points of fisheye view are selected sentences by using the original extraction algorit...

Stepped chute flows are characterized by intense turbulence and strong flow aeration, but most studies did not investigate the turbulence characteristics. In this study, highly turbulent air-water flows skimming down a large-size stepped chute were systematically investigated. An experimental study of detailed air-water flow properties measurements were introduced in different types of flow reg...
