in today’s quality- based competitive world, known as knowledge age, customer attraction is of ultimate importance. in respect to the slogan “customer is always right”, customer relation management is the core of an organizational strategy playing an important role in four aspects of customer identification, customer attraction, customer retaining, and customer satisfaction. commercial organiza...

four saudi arabian indigenous sheep populations including najdi, hbsi, arb, and naemi were genotyped for 16 microsatellite markers recommended by the food and agriculture organization (fao). this study aims to provide information on the genetic structure of the breeds analyzed and give indications and proposals for the cross breeding program. all loci were polymorphic in all populations and loc...

Relation extraction by universal schema avoids mapping to a brittle, incomplete traditional schema by instead making predictions in the union of all input schemas, including textual patterns. Modeling these predictions by matrix competition with matrix factorization has yielded state-of-the-art accuracies. One difficulty with prior work in matrix factorization, however, is that there is no nega...

A key challenge introduced by the recent SpaceEval shared task on spatial relation extraction is the identification of MOVELINKs, a type of spatial relation in which up to eight spatial elements can participate. To handle the complexity of extracting MOVELINKs, we combine two ideas that have been successfully applied to information extraction tasks, namely tree kernels and multi-pass sieves, pr...

This paper proposes to use a convolution kernel over parse trees to model syntactic structure information for relation extraction. Our study reveals that the syntactic structure features embedded in a parse tree are very effective for relation extraction and these features can be well captured by the convolution tree kernel. Evaluation on the ACE 2003 corpus shows that the convolution kernel ov...

the relationship between altitude, slope and tree age with the red heartwood of beech (fagusorientalis lipsky) were investigated. transect sampling method was used to collect the data. theresults showed that in the 476 sampled trees, 132 trees were suffering the phenomenon of red heartswith deferent shape and size. the results indicate that the tree with red heartwoods in shafa-roudforest area,...

This paper presents a novel method for recognizing partially occluded objects. The proposed method uses corner points and their spatial relationship perceived through the application of Triangular Spatial Relationship (TSR) [5] by considering three successive corner points at a time. The perceived TSR among corner points are used to create a model object-base using B-tree, an efficient multilev...
