This paper analyses the 500 most frequent verbs in contemporary Chinese and investigates their synergetic properties. The results show that the rank-frequency distributions of both valency and polysemy abide by a power-law distribution and that valency and polysemy of these verbs abide by the Good distribution and the positive negative binomial distribution respectively. Statistical analysis in...

22 Abstract—Project-Based Learning (PBL) has become a necessity for the Moroccan higher education reform. PBL is an approach that transforms teaching from "teachers telling" to "students doing". However, implementing PBLs brings new challenges to higher education. In this paper, we present a set of Technology-enhanced Learning environments integrating the needed aspects in a synergetic way to f...

This paper develops and empirically validates customer shopping motives taking account of customer channel selection in multichannel systems. As each channel is associated with certain advantages and disadvantages from a customer’s perspective, we develop – based on behavioral considerations – a customer typology to classify different segments of customers. This enables us to empirically analyz...

Derived from semi-supervised learning and active learning approaches, self-learning (SL) was recently developed for the synergetic classification of hyperspectral (HS) and panchromatic (PAN) images. Combining the image segmentation and active learning techniques, SL aims at selecting and labeling the informative unlabeled samples automatically, thereby improving the classification accuracy unde...

The collaboration of the network and optical character recognition (OCR) is expected to be useful for extending the applications of OCR, and it has a potential to open up new vistas in future services using OCR. We presented the basic ideas of the synergetic OCR system in 2004, and developed a platform called WeOCR to realize the web-based OCR services. The number of accesses has been increasin...

Aim. This work presents the amelioration of direct power control using synergetic-super twisting algorithms for asynchronous generators integrated into dual-rotor wind turbine systems. Method. The main role is to active and reactive powers reduce harmonic distortion stator current generator variable speed traditional strategy more attractive due its high efficiency simple algorithm. Super are a...

Chemicals and Materials All chemicals used in the experiments (KBr, Fe2(SO4)3, H2SO4, ethanol, Rhodamine B) are analytical grade or better provided by Sinopharm Co., China. All aqueous solutions are prepared with deionized water (18.2 MΩ, Milli-Q, Millipore Corp., France). ITO glass slides were washed in an ultrasonic cleaner by isopropanol and deionized water for several times and dried by blo...

In this paper we present a new approach to the problem of simultaneously localizing a group of mobile robots capable of sensing each other. Each of the robots collects sensor data regarding its own motion and shares this information with the rest of the team during the update cycles. A single estimator, in the form of a Kalman lter, processes the available positioning information from all the m...

Ten years of research in Ambient Intelligence have revealed that the original ideas and assertions about the way the concept should develop no longer hold and should be substantially revised. Early scenario’s in Ambient Intelligence envisioned a world in which individuals could maximally exploit personalized, context aware, wireless devices thus enabling them to become maximally productive, whi...
