This paper states the "Situational" integrated rationality hypothesis and then comes up with the market segmenting models and classification algorithm basing on this hypothesis. This algorithm combined the Rough Set theory and Neural Networks in application, which overcome the dilemma that caused complicated network structure and long training time by only using Neural Networks and influenced the classification precision caused by noise disturbance by only using Rough Set methods. Finally, the paper did a comparison experiment between the traditional method and the method we came up, the results shows that the model and algorithm has its advantage on every aspects.展开更多

VOCs removal from raw water is an important task for waterworks to guarantee drinking water security. The removal of VOCs such as chlorobenzene (CB) and ethylbenzene (EB) from raw water by air stripping was investigated under various conditions, inciuding the variation of temperature (5-30~C), pH (3.5-10.5), and air/water ratio (10-60). The air stripping removal efficiency of VOCs decreased with VOCs concentration declining in water. And Henry's law constant was demonstrated as an indicator of the estimation of VOCs removal efficiency for air stripping. The effects of temperature and the ratio of air and water were found to play a great role in VOCs removal, but the effect of pH seemed to be negligible. This study demonstrates that air stripping provides a promising opportunity in removing VOCs in drinking water treatment, especially for the relatively high concentration of VOCs.展开更多

It both validates and generates multiword candidates. The multiword expression provides a list of candidates which are extracted and filtered according to the number of criteria and a set of standard statistical association measures. The generation of the multiword candidates is based on the surface forms, while the validation consists of series of criteria for removing noise using language independent association measures. For generating corpus count, it provides both a corpus indexation facility. Also, this approach allows easy integration with a machine learning tool for thecreation and application of supervised multiword extraction models if annotated data is available. The authors present the use of multiword in a standard configuration, for extracting MWEs from a corpus of general purpose English.展开更多
