A PORTABLE MULTI-TAXA PHENOTYPING DEVICE TO RETRIEVE PHYSIOLOGICAL PERFORMANCE TRAITS



Comparing neural sentence encoders for topic segmentation across domains: not your typical text similarity task

Neural sentence encoders (NSE) are effective in many NLP tasks, including topic segmentation.However, no systematic comparison of their performance in topic segmentation has been performed.Here, we present such a comparison, using supervised and unsupervised segmentation models based on NSEs.We first compare results with baselines, showing that the

A Numerical Study of a Soil-Nail-Supported Excavation Pit Subjected to a Vertically Loaded Strip Footing at the Crest

Soil nailing is a prevalent and cost-effective technique employed to reinforce and enhance the stability of precarious natural or cut slopes; however, its application as a primary support system to prevent collapses or cave-ins during foundation excavation could be more frequent.To better understand the behavior of such a support system, this study
