Perennial semantic data terms of use for decentralized web by Zhao, R, Zhao, J

“…This constitutes a “perennial” DToU language, where the policy authoring only occurs once, and we can conduct ongoing automated checks across users, applications and activity cycles. …”

An exploratory study on the development of a sensory wheel affiliated with the emotional lexicon for chrysanthemum infusion by Xia, Y, Hou, J, Chen, J, Spence, C, Qian, J, Zhao, F, Dong, G, Zhong, F

“…Additionally, consumer emotional responses to chrysanthemum infusion were assessed using the Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) method. By mapping the descriptive sensory data with emotional response data through Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR), we identified sensory drivers that elicit specific emotional responses. …”

Ergativity in Tongan by Otsuka, Y

“…Following Chomsky (1993), I assume that a structural case is assigned by feature checking in a Spec-head configuration. I also assume that only one Agr can be active in intransitive constructions: Agrs in accusative languages and Agro in ergative languages (Bobaljik 1993). …”

Effect of Dactylaria higginsii on interference of Cyperus rotundus with L. esculentum by Kadir, J.B., Charudattan, R., Stall, W.M., Bewick, T.A.

“…At 106 conidia ml-1, D. higginsii reduced the interference from C. rotundus, controlled C. rotundus better, and increased L. esculentum yield compared to the weedy checks.…”

Mitigate the effect of distributed generators connected to distribution system. by Oraibi, Saleh Khairullah, Mohamad Idris, Rasyidah

“…ETAP program is used for analyzing and checking the results obtained, where the operating time and TMS value of all relays in the system are calculated in case the distribution generators are not connected, and to ensure the quality of coordination by Etap software, then the distributive generators are connected, their effects are studied, and the relays are coordinated again by the two previous methods. …”

Electroweak three-body decays in the presence of two- and three-body bound states by Briceño, Raul A., Jackura, Andrew W., Pefkou, Dimitra A., Romero-López, Fernando

“…For kinematics below the three-body threshold, we demonstrate that the scattering amplitudes satisfy unitarity. We also check that for these kinematics the finite-volume matrix elements are accurately described by the formalism for two-body systems up to exponentially suppressed corrections. …”
