Traditionally, metal music is characterised by quality, but in recent years different computer programmes and tools have increasingly been used to help one to analyze texts from a quantitative perspective. The aim of this research is to identify and describe the most common nouns in the Latvian metal music lyrics from a lexico-semantic point of view. The subject of the study - band lyrics in Latvian. Main source: Encyclopaedia Metallum (www.metal-archives.com), which is the largest metal music web resource. The subject of the study is metal band lyrics in Latvian from January 2008 to December 2019, which can be found in full-length CD or digital albums. Since many albums have come out in English or other languages, only 136 songs with Latvian lyrics were found. The AntConc programme identified the presence of 4761 words and word forms and a total of 14231 units. Overall, it can be concluded that the most common words, both in metal music lyrics and in the referential corpora (LVK2018), are auxiliary words and pronouns that do not show a specific notion of the character of this music style. The author of this research found and analysed nouns with the highest frequency appearing in the lyrics of at least three songs, which could also become keywords. Among the 12 commonly used nouns, seven lexemes - death, blood, spirit, night, end, earth and sky - reflect the lyrical sounds of metal music and these word forms are not common in the reference corpora, thus allowing them to be identified as keywords in the metal music lyrics. A contextual view allows us to see the characteristics of metal music in the applications of the rest of the word forms - land, time, world, eyes, sun and heart. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Increasing the efficiency of the technological operations of blank production is closely related to the computeraided technologies (CAx). On the one hand, the practical result represents reality exactly. On the other hand, the development procedure of new process development demands unrestricted resources, which are limited on the SMEs. The tools of CAx were successfully applied for development of new process of forging with torsion and result analysis as well. It was shown, that the theoretical calculations find the confirmation both in praxis and during numerical simulation. The mostly used constructional materials were under study. The torque angles were stated. The simulated results were evaluated by experimental procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We substantiate a new technique for obtaining osteochondral autograft to replace osteochondral defects resulting from various lesions of the talar trochlea by means of morphological examination of the following microslides: talar cartilage (cadaver material), cartilage portion of the pre-achilles zone of the calcaneum, lateral femoral condyle, and necrotic area of the talus. Examination of the specimens of the pre-achilles cartilage of the calcaneus revealed a large number of poorly differentiated chondroblasts in the homogeneously stained extracellular matrix; the presence of all zones (superficial zone, zone of columnar structures, and "tidemark"). This is indicative of structural and functional preservation of this cartilage, which therefore can be considered as an autograft material. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The experiment shall present the finding of required force to REM the microelectrode array biochip pattern on the PET film. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) is native to Indonesia and used as a spice in virtually all of the world's cuisine. Clove bud oil, a yellow liquid, is obtained from distillation of buds. The quality of oil is influenced by origin, post- harvest processing, pre-treatment before distillation, the distillation method, and post-distillation treatment. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of drying process and prolonged storage on essential oil composition of clove bud from the Tolitoli, Indonesia. To determine the effect of drying, fresh clove bud was dried under sunlight until it reached moisture content 13±1 %. The effect of storage was studied in the oil extracted from clove bud that was stored in laboratory at 25 °C for 4 months. The essential oil of each treatment was obtained by steam distillation and its chemical composition was analyzed by GC/MS. The major components found in fresh and dried clove are as follows: eugenol, eugenyl acetate, and caryophyllene. Percentage of caryophyllene was slightly increase after drying but decrease during storage. While the content of eugenyl acetate decreased during drying and storage, the content of eugenol increased. The drying and storage also affect to the change on minor compounds of essential oil of clove. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fracture toughness, Hardness and Tensile Strength of the Aluminum alloy 7075-T6 coated with Cadmium with varying thickness of 10µ and 20µ were investigated. Electroplating Cadmium coating process gives excellent corrosion resistance, provides low coefficient of friction which increases the surface hardness of the material. It also provides a uniform and dense coating, in many cases, maintains surface finish as it was before plating. The specimens prepared in line with ASTM E-8M and E-399 standard were subjected to various tests. The results shows that the hardness of the EC coted specimens has increased by 10% and increases with increase in thickness, but the thicker the EC coating, more brittle is the material. The Ultimate Tensile Strength also increased by 5% compared to the uncoated counterpart. There was a steep increase in plain strain fracture toughness with the increase in the coating thickness for the Aluminum 7075-T6 alloy in TL orientation. The crack growth was Unstable due to the strong adhesion between the EC coating and the alloy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the process of learning, concepts are keys to define and understand an entire method or a specific course. Also, within a course, concepts can have relations between them, in the sense that, for a specific concept, there is needed the understanding of previous concepts that are used at defining and explaining the current one. In an extended sense, a concept is either an action that depends on a theoretical notion (e.g., implementation of a class method), or the theoretical notion itself (e.g., class method). In the majority of cases, the process of learning can be thought as a linked path of key concepts. The learning becomes, in this way, structured. This path can be used for teaching as well as for process of assessment, the teacher making a scheme that helps in the organization of courses. In this paper we will present a model of teaching and assessment planning using the connections between notions that will be taught. We will use, in this matter, an extractor of keywords from the description of the concept or a written course itself, using a method of text analysis that will signal the presence of other notions in this description and will determine the degree of connectivity between the current concept and the other present in the database. For the process of assessment, the process is reversed: the test is build based on the degree of connectivity, resulting tests with connected items based on the link between the concepts that are used for a specific question.

To achieve aggressive expansion goals, many Chinese companies are seeking resources and market around the world. To an increasing extent, Chinese enterprises recognized the Netherlands as their gateway to Europe Market. Yet, large cultural gaps (e.g. individualism/collectivism, power distance) may influence expat leaders' influencing process, in turn affect intercultural teamwork. Lessons and suggestions from Chinese expat leaders could provide profound knowledge for managerial practice and future research. The current research focuses on cultural difference between China and the Netherlands, along with leadership tactics for coping and handling differences occurring in the international business work. Exclusive 47 in-depth interviews with Chinese expat leaders were conducted. Within each interview, respondents were asked what were the main issues when working with Dutch employees, and what they believed as the keys to successful leadership in Dutch-Chinese cross-cultural workplaces. Consistent with previous research, the findings highlight the need to consider the cultural context within which leadership adapts. In addition, the findings indicated the importance of recognizing and applying the cultural advantages from which leadership originates. The implications for further research are also presented in this article. It is hoped that results presented in this paper can trigger more thoughts and further research in intercultural/international context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Technical and other knowledge is associated with human minds and contemporary persistent storage media such as disk, ROM, and cloud based storage. The quality and complexity of such knowledge is not calibrated as a metric and usually is not made available as a cognitive input to end consumers of such knowledge. Traditionally, the evaluation of one's knowledge is determined by probing the knowledge acquired with relevant questions and assessing associated answers in that context. In the case of knowledge represented as technical paragraphs, the evaluation is carried out based on the semantics of the relevant answer given in the question's context. It is empirically observed that the evaluator judges semantics of the context based answer by examining the quality of technical keywords and the connectors used and represented by the respective language in which it is written. This is understood to be achieved naturally by associating cognition based weight and strength, whose formal definitions are introduced in this paper, to the keywords in that context. This paper attempts to automate the process of associating weight and strength to the technical keywords of a paragraph in the respective domain and sub-domain knowledge context represented by valid and relevant technical literature. This is achieved by parsing the technical paragraph. Subsequent to parsing, the keyword tokens are mapped to the knowledge base and domain based classification of keywords is carried out. This classification is used as the basis for associating weight and strength to these technical keywords. This methodology has been tested out on variable size technical paragraphs in homogenous and heterogeneous domain-sub domain context. Consistency of similar patterns of technical weight and strength were observed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Crowdsourcing is an approach to delegate a task to a large group of people, which then suggests their own solutions for the defined task. The objective of this study is to model and describe the structure of the crowdsourcing research community and topics from the social network analysis (SNA) point of view. By applying systematic review we found 493 crowdsourcing publications which were made by 1102 authors. We observed degreasing annual growth in terms of number of publications and authors, resulting leveling interest towards crowdsourcing among scholars. Collaboration within the diffuse crowdsourcing co-author network was tighten only slightly. The structure of author and keyword network differed significantly in term of number of components. Among 1050 co-authors we found 237 subgroups, while in the case of 1243 keywords we identified only 61 interlinked research themes including the substantially large main component which covered 84 per cent share of all keywords.

Bboying, also known as breakdancing or breakin' is a dance form participated in by Bboy—a boy who physically "breaks" to the musical break of record— communities all over the world. Dance, however, is not merely a "structural physical pattern occurring in particular time and space" [1], but is also a communicative form that carries cultural meaning and values. Adapting a framework of anthropological linguistics and sociolinguistics grounded in the observation and description of naturally-occurring behavior, this analysis looks beyond the actions of the participants of the U.S. and South Korean community members to the keywords they use in explaining and defining their craft and its role in their lives. The keywords carry meaning for the culture as well as the individual as they reflect, construct, and promote the worldview maintained and demonstrated by its members. Ultimately, the analysis reveals the values and ideology that structure the Bboy community and the partially unique, partially shared worldview of its members. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Vietnam is an agricultural country, specializing in exporting coffee, pepper, rice, etc. Vietnam was a country ranked second about the export of coffee on the world and major export was Robusta coffee. In Vietnam, there are many famous coffee brands such as: Vinacafe, Coffee moment, Trung Nguyen coffee, and other retail coffee brands. Among them Trung Nguyen coffee was the most famous brands and the largest exporter in Viet Nam coffee industry. Trung Nguyen's success will not only bring benefits for himself, but also plays the role as impetus coffee industry in Vietnam and a gateway to economic globalization. Through literature review, secondary data analysis integrated approach to information gathering. Then, using logic and analysis methods for systems of each group of information, which is convenient for data analysis and comparison. This paper explores the business strategy and marketing tactics of Trung Nguyen in newly industrialized economies. This research also proposes a novel approach to strategy formulation, which utilizes the theory of competitive advantage of enterprises, SWOT analysis, and marketing mix. The case study of Trung Nguyen coffee illustrates the applicability of the proposed approach in systematic competitive analysis and strategy formulation of Trung Nguyen coffee. The strategic planning put forward not only provides practical reference for systematic operation of related units, but also inspires a new research model and direction of study for coffee industry development in Vietnam.

Image is used in any field, starting from newspapers, magazines, web sites, movie posters, up to scientific researches to enhance the story effects of the images. Editors, journalists, brochure illustrators, taxonomists in biological science, DNA research scientists, star classifying astronomers rely heavily on images appropriate with the accompanying texts. Sometimes the images themselves are more important than the accompanying texts. Then it is very important to find the best images to illustrate the text. This research consists of two stages, namely database forming stage and text-based image retrieval stage. As a tool to build a database for keywords or texts or documents annotated images, MIRA (Multimedia Information Retrieval Application) is employed. An application of TFIDF algorithm into MIRA is used to determine the weight of a term or word in a text or document that annotates an image and then compared to keywords extracted from a text or document. In this study, we compared the results of image search using Google search engine with our system, MIRA. Based on the results of text-based image retrieval using keyterm, it can be concluded that image search is successfully distributed. The developed system which is text-based image retrieval is capable of image searching which suit the hopes with optimal results. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

An individual's problem space has been identified as important in problem solving. A problem space is a person's inner representation of the task after extracting critical components in the external problem task. This paper proposes a study to probe whether there are different problem spaces for efficient and inefficient Web information searchers. The questions will be answered quantitatively using the psychometric scaling method TRICIR (for circular triads) and ANOVA. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

This paper proposes an unsupervised two-stage approach to automatically extract keywords from spoken documents. In the first stage, for each candidate term we compute a topic coherence and term significance measure (TCS) based on probabilistic latent semantic analysis (PLSA) models. In the second stage, we take the candidate terms with highest and lowest TCS scores as positive and negative examples to train an SVM classifier in an unsupervised way using prosodic, lexical, and semantic features, and then classify the candidate keyword using this SVM classifier. The experiments with course lectures showed that the first-stage offered very good precision, so the second-stage effectively extracted the keywords. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The active sludge is made of a synthetic gelatinous matrix in which there are included different colonies of bacteria (of different form and consistency), from din colloids, organic and inorganic substances, mass around which it is grouped and there are fed many protozoa and metazoan. The purpose of this study was to notice if after the process of dewatering and sanitation, there is biological activity in the samples of sludge; in this purpose it was made an experiment which to allow the developing of biological communities, the organisms, that manifest resistance at the applied procedures. The experiment included a number of 8 samples of active sludge in 2 replicates mounted in parallel (only 2 because there were aimed only qualitative aspects); within each replicate there was a control sample and 2 variants of sludge samples: the first was taken from the superficial layer by razing with a help of a spatula and the other was taken from the whole column of sludge; the sludge samples were introduced in the culture environment (glycerin and water in rapport 1:8). The sludge samples control were mounted in distillate water, thus the organisms that could have appeared through the exit from the resistance forms and than could develop to use only the food resources existent in the sample, following their evolution after 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 days since the mounting of the experiment (the total number of samples with active sludge analyzed in the lab was 72). Most of the organisms of active sludge biocoenosis, within the process of biological purging of residual waters but also within self purging from an emissary, are the microorganisms, protozoa and metazoan species of the saprobes system, saprophytes. The active sludge is made of bacteria which morphological and functional are alike; morphologically they are represented by cocci, bacilli, spirilla. These bacteria take over the organic substratum from different compounds and brooked the carbon cathens. Most of the organic matter is consumed by the associations of microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) and to a lesser extent species of protozoa and metazoans. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents a study which examined the efficiency of a pendulum wave energy converter (PWEC) model in regular waves. The power capture of the model related closely to the damping and incident wave periods. The force of the chain connected to the bottom shaft is found to be very large while the velocity of the chain is said to be relatively small. The results obtained can reportedly provide insight into the shape design and performance parameters for PWEC.

This paper uses a postcolonial lens for an alternative view of the use of '9/11' as a keyword in communication scholarship. Through a careful critique of the underlying narrative of the West encapsulated in the keyword, the paper unravels the raced, classed, and gendered nature of the canonical status accorded to 9/11. In referring to other high-impact dates of history which have not acquired keyword status, it highlights the hegemonic power of inherently monocultural Western constructions. The paper argues for a new 'word order' which can facilitate a more nuanced discussion of the contemporary world with keywords infused with polyethnic multiculturalism. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examines the effect of family ownership on risk-taking activities in a corporation. Family ownership may lead a corporation to adopt a risk-averse attitude and risk nepotism (where inappropriate family members occupy positions of top management), which can lead to business inefficiency. On the other hand, family owners have a socioemotional endowment with a corporation (Gomez-Mejia et al. 2007) that enables them to behave altruistically and pursue sustainability for the sake of their employees and community. In this situation, family owners promote top managements to take risk-taking behaviours to stimulate R&D investment and innovation. This study supposes the effect of family ownership toward risk-taking is not constant and hypothesizes that the contingency factor could affect the relations between family ownership and risk-taking. In the context of Japan, where family ownership in listed companies exceed 50 percent and is in the exposure to pressure by institutional investor, this study considers institutional investor ownership as the mediator between risk-taking and family ownership. This study examines the effect of family ownership using panel data in Japanese listed companies. I also adopt the system GMM estimators the system GMM estimator proposed by Arellano and Bover (1995) and Blundell and Bond (1998) for the analysis to solve the endogeneity issues. This study reveals that the effect of family ownership on risk-taking can be changed due to contingency factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PubMed can retrieval biomedical literatures and get the number of publications. It can't help us analyze the trends and the relationships among the data we got. Our research is finding out keywords from 2007 to 2011 in biomedicine and then analyzing them. Here we list 33 keywords and get their numbers. Then we used trendlines in Excel to observe the trends of the keywords so that we can divide all of them into five types, which can stand for the whole fields in a way and help researchers study well.
