A Dependency-Based Neural Network for Relation Classification

Previous research on relation classification has verified the effectiveness of using dependency shortest paths or subtrees. In this paper, we further explore how to make full use of the combination of these dependency information. We first propose a new structure, termed augmented dependency path (ADP), which is composed of the shortest dependency path between two entities and the subtrees attached to the shortest path. To exploit the semantic representation behind the ADP structure, we develop dependency-based neural networks (DepNN): a recursive neural network designed to model the subtrees, and a convolutional neural network to capture the most important features on the shortest path. Experiments on the SemEval-2010 dataset show that our proposed method achieves state-of-art results.Comment: This preprint is the full version of a short paper accepted in the annual meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) 2015 (Beijing, China

Case Histories of Poor Quality Contingency of Foundation Soil Improvement of 50,000 Kiloliters Oil Storage Tank

This paper introduces case histories of poor quality contingency of foundation soil improvement of 50,000 kiloliters oil storage tanks. Inhomogeneity of soft and hard soil layers in oil tank area, and in the process of construction, effective improvement measures had not been taken, and this produced bad effects to oil tank

Periodic Radio Variability in NRAO 530: Phase Dispersion Minimization Analysis

In this paper, a periodicity analysis of the radio light curves of the blazar NRAO 530 at 14.5, 8.0, and 4.8 GHz is presented employing an improved Phase Dispersion Minimization (PDM) technique. The result, which shows two persistent periodic components of $\sim 6$ and $\sim 10$ years at all three frequencies, is consistent with the results obtained with the Lomb-Scargle periodogram and weighted wavelet Z-transform algorithms. The reliability of the derived periodicities is confirmed by the Monte Carlo numerical simulations which show a high statistical confidence. (Quasi-)Periodic fluctuations of the radio luminosity of NRAO 530 might be associated with the oscillations of the accretion disk triggered by hydrodynamic instabilities of the accreted flow. \keywords{methods: statistical -- galaxies: active -- galaxies: quasar: individual: NRAO 530}Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, accepted by RA

B-Meson Light-Cone Distribution Amplitude From Euclidean Quantities

A new method for the model-independent determination of the light-cone distribution amplitude of the B-meson in heavy quark effective theory (HQET) is proposed by combining the large momentum effective theory and the numerical simulation technique on the Euclidean lattice. We demonstrate the autonomous scale dependence of the nonlocal quasi-HQET operator with the aid of the auxiliary field approach, and further determine the perturbative matching coefficient entering the hard-collinear factorization formula for the B-meson quasidistribution amplitude at the one-loop accuracy. These results will be crucial to explore the partonic structure of heavy-quark hadrons in the static limit and to improve the theory description of exclusive B-meson decay amplitudes based upon perturbative QCD factorization theorems

STUDY OF XIAO JUNFENG'S FRONT HANDSPRING TO SOMERSAULT FORWARD STRETCHED WITH 900 DEGREE TWIST BY BIOMECHANICAL ANALYSIS

It is well known that new and difficult performances occur constantly and stimulate the development of gymnastics. The focuses in performance are the connection and all kinds of somersault and twist technique. Lately, no matter whether in domestic or international competition, the front handspring to somersault with certain difficulty has been used frequently. It is worth mention that from 1993 to 1996 the international rules of gymnastics were changed, increasing the difficulty value of the front somersault. That means that the front somersault gets more points than the back somersault, even for a performance turn of the same degree. The front handspring connecting somersault forward stretched and twist performance is being concentrated on by coaches and athletics. Even some experts considered the front handspring to somersault forward stretched with twist performance as part of the future of free gymnastics. Xiao Junfeng was one of the athletes of the Chinese gymnastic team. He was the first athlete to perform the front handspring to somersault forward with a 900 degree twist. He won the title champion of the world gymnastics championships in 1997. The purpose of this study is to analyze the technique of his performance by biomechanical methods. The subject was Xiao Junfeng ( age: 17 years old, Height: 1.60 m, Weight: 50 kg). HUAHANG KS 16-mm camera and TP-301 film analysis systems and a KISTLER 3-dimensional testing force platform were use to collect the data of the front handspring to somersault forward stretched with a 900 degree twist performance

BB-meson light-cone distribution amplitude from the Euclidean quantity

A new method for the model-independent determination of the light-cone distribution amplitude (LCDA) of the $B$-meson in heavy quark effective theory (HQET) is proposed by combining the large momentum effective theory (LaMET) and the numerical simulation technique on the Euclidean lattice. We demonstrate the autonomous scale dependence of the non-local quasi-HQET operator with the aid of the auxiliary field approach, and further determine the perturbative matching coefficient entering the hard-collinear factorization formula for the $B$-meson quasi-distribution amplitude at the one-loop accuracy. These results will be crucial to explore the partonic structure of heavy-quark hadrons in the static limit and to improve the theory description of exclusive $B$-meson decay amplitudes based upon perturbative QCD factorization theorems.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure

Confirming the 115.5-day periodicity in the X-ray light curve of ULX NGC 5408 X-1

The Swift/XRT light curve of the ultraluminous X-ray (ULX) source NGC 5408 X-1 was re-analyzed with two new numerical approaches, Weighted Wavelet $Z$-transform (WWZ) and CLEANest, that are different from previous studies. Both techniques detected a prominent periodicity with a time scale of $115.5\pm1.5$ days, in excellent agreement with the detection of the same periodicity first reported by Strohmayer (2009). Monte Carlo simulation was employed to test the statisiticak confidence of the 115.5-day periodicity, yielding a statistical significance of $> 99.98$ (or $>3.8\sigma$). The robust detection of the 115.5-day quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), if it is due to the orbital motion of the binary, would infer a mass of a few thousand $M_\odot$ for the central black hole, implying an intermediate-mass black hole in NGC 5408 X-1.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, submitted to Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics (RAA
