This report is section three of a study of the Llanos del Rio Orinoco. The aim of the study is to establish relationships between the characteristics of plant communities of the Central Plains of Venezuela and geomorfogenetica and pedogenic evolution during the Quaternary.

This report includes sections one and two of a study of the Llanos del Rio Orinoco. The aim of this study is to establish relationships between the characteristics of plant communities of the Central Plains of Venezuela and geomorfogenetica and pedogenic evolution during the Quaternary.

Report for the Project Orinoco - Apure. This report discusses environmental and ecological information on the plains of the Orinoco river.

Article all-aluminum microchannel heat exchangers have recently gained popularity in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning industry. Despite their attractive thermal performance design, these heat exchangers make coils used in automotive, commercial, and residential applications prone to crevice corrosion. This study uses high-fidelity conjugate heat transfer simulations to model a micro channel heat exchanger system that includes fins and tubes with crossflow to compare their thermal effectiveness to gain insight into potential crevice corrosion of the MCHE alloy.

In this paper, the authors discuss research on whether they can use Mechanical Turk (MTurk) to acquire good annotations with respect to gold-standard data, whether they can filter out low-quality workers (spammers), and whether there is a learning effect associated with repeatedly completing the same kind of task.

This article proposes a reconfigurable surface plasmon polariton (SPP) wave adapter designed by transformation optics, which can control the propagation of SPP waves on un-even surfaces.

This paper discusses enhancing the undergraduate research experience in a senior design context.

Data management plan for the grant, "Collaborative Research: Combined Tribological and Bactericidal Effect of Bioinjectable Nanodiamonds on Biological Joints."

This article provides an overview of some of the specialized datasets that were created for various projects related to the CiteSeer˟ digital library.

This paper presents a methodology to extract positive interpretations from negated statements.

This paper presents a framework to infer spatial knowledge from verbal semantic role representations.

Article discusses wearable airbag technology that has been designed to detect and mitigate fall impact. However, this technology has not been validated for the stroke population, so authors investigated whether population-specific training data and modeling parameters are required to pre-detect falls in a chronic stroke population.

Article on protein sequence classification using feature hashing.

This paper discusses explorations in automatic book summarization.

This paper analyzes the topic identification stage of single-document automatic text summarization across four different domains, consisting of newswire, literary, scientific and legal documents.

This article develops a molecular cell tracker with a strong fluorescence signal in the second near-infrared (NIR-II) window (1,000-1,700 nm) for real-time monitoring of in vivo cell behaviors in both healthy and diseased animal models to address the issue of precisely and quantitatively evaluating the in vivo cell distribution, migration, and engraftment in stem cell therapy.

This article discusses Open Mind Word Expert (OMWE), a system that aims to tap people's ability to disambiguate words and to give computers the benefit of people's knowledge.

This article investigates the reliability and effectiveness of nonwoven zinc(II) oxide-polyvinylidene fluoride (ZnO-PVDF) nanocomposite fiber textiles as an embedded corrosion sensor using an accelerated thermal cyclic method paired to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Results suggest that the flexible sensor is reliable at both monitoring the corrosion and acting as a corrosion barrier.

This paper discusses measuring the semantic similarity of texts.

This paper discusses linguistically motivated features for enhanced back-of-the-book indexing.

Patent relating to methods and systems for indoor navigation.
