GC: n CT: The number of robots in our society is increasing rapidly. The number of service robots that interact with everyday people already outnumbers industrial robots. The easiest way to communicate with these service robots, such as Roomba or Nao, would be natural speech. But current speech recognition technology
GC: n CT: Though the extreme rates of land clearing that placed Australia in the top 10 land clearing nations in the world have reduced over the past 5 years, we are still clearing much more native vegetation than is being replanted or that is regenerating naturally. This ongoing net
GC: n CT: A standard procedure for the acceptance of waste in a landfill is laid down so as to avoid any risks, including: waste must be treated before being landfilled; hazardous waste within the meaning of the Directive must be assigned to a hazardous waste landfill; landfills for non-hazardous
GC: n CT: A landslide is the movement of rock, debris or earth down a slope. They result from the failure of the materials which make up the hill slope and are driven by the force of gravity. Landslides are known also as landslips, slumps or slope failure. Some of
GC: n CT: Language technology will help in designing and implementing the systems needed to effectively deal with information and knowledge in a number of ways. Speech recognition will help in interacting with a number of devices in our own native language. Also, information could be presented by generating speech.
GC: n CT: Rich gas and lean gas are the two types of natural gas that are distributed in Belgium via different networks. The difference between them is their calorific value, i.e. a different quantity of energy. In other words, 1 m³ of lean gas provides less energy than 1
GC: n CT: Rather than using a stemmer, you can use a lemmatizer, a tool from Natural Language Processing which does full morphological analysis to accurately identify the lemma for each word. Doing full morphological analysis produces at most very modest benefits for retrieval. It is hard to say more,
CG: n CT: Lentic Waters: The Stillness of Life In the vast realm of water bodies, a distinction exists between the ceaselessly flowing and the serene stillness. Lentic waters, derived from the Latin word lentus meaning “slow,” encompass the still waters of ponds, swamps, and marshes. These ecosystems, though seemingly stagnant,
GC: n CT: We present a feasibility study of top-quark mass measurement using the energy distribution of a lepton from a W boson in a top quark decay in pp collisions at the LHC. The proposed method requires only the lepton energy distribution at the parton level. The analysis is
GC: n CT: The lidar (LIght Detection And Ranging) is a remote sensing instrument similar in principle to the radar but operating in the optical range. Depending on the desired measurement, lidar systems use various light-matter interactions such as Rayleigh, Mie and Raman scattering or fluorescence. Measurements of atmospheric ozone,
GC: n CT: Buildings demand energy in their life cycle right from its construction to demolition. Studies on the total energy use during the life cycle are desirable to identify phases of largest energy use and to develop strategies for its reduction. In the present paper, a critical review of
GC: n CT: For most of Earth’s history, our spectacular universe of stars and galaxies has been visible in the darkness of the night sky. From our earliest beginnings, the vast spectacle arrayed across the dark sky has inspired questions about our universe and our relation to it. The history
GC: n CT: A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits visible light when an electric current passes through it. The light is not particularly bright, but in most LEDs it is monochromatic, occurring at a single wavelength. The output from an LED can range from red (at
GC: n CT: Equipment and buildings can also be protected by raising the effective ground level with a static line or lightning rod. The static line on the utility’s distribution system and the lightning rods on farm buildings are attempts to do just that. Lightning rods, such as those at
GC: n CT: Lignite, generally yellow to dark brown or rarely black coal that formed from peat at shallow depths and temperatures lower than 100 °C (212 °F). It is the first product of coalification and is intermediate between peat and subbituminous coal according to the coal classification used in
GC: n CT: Sustainability considerations for product and energy production in a future US economy can be met with lignocellulosic biomass. The age of petroleum as the key resource to meet the US economy requirements is rapidly dwindling, given the limited resources of petroleum, the growing global population and concurrent
GC: n CT: A linear accelerator (LINAC) is the device most commonly used for external beam radiation treatments for patients with cancer. The linear accelerator can be/is used to treat all parts/organs of the body. It delivers high-energy x-rays to the region of the patient’s tumor. These x-ray treatments can
GC: n CT: Solar energy is the most abundant, widely distributed and clean renewable energy resource. Since the insolation intensity is only in the range of 0.5 – 1.0 kW/m2, solar concentrators are required for attaining temperatures appropriate for medium and high temperature applications. The concentrated energy is transferred through
CG: n CT: The elements listed below are all useful for making liquid manure. Out of these, some are good for pest control and soil fertility, but some work just to provide fertility and are not pest medicines. You can use many more plants and local substances, according to what’s
GC: n CT: Baidu beats Google in China. Urdu-speaking gamers favor racing games over strategic games. CNN has separate programming for Latinos in the U.S. What do these things have in common? Language. Baidu does better than Google because it looks and feels fully native to the Chinese-speaking audience. Urdu
GC: n CT: Operating the locks and dams is a continuous job as tows and recreational boats can lock through all year long as weather conditions permit. The current 9-foot channel lock and dam system was built in the 1930s with an estimated life span of 50 years. The structures
GC: n CT: The objective of my research is to develop and refine environmentally sound silvicultural practices that enhance growth, development, quality and value of both individual trees and existing hardwood stands on the major river bottoms and minor streambottoms across the southern United States. Particular emphasis is placed on
GC: n CT: More often than not, the thought of rivers conjures up the image of high water levels and even floods. However, many communities depend on the availability of water through non-regulated river systems for their water supply. Therefore, periods of low flow are critical for managing their water
