“干清粪”系统猪粪快速堆肥过程中添加剂对甲烷、氧化亚氮和氨气排放的影响(英文)

研究目的:在"干清粪"系统猪粪堆肥过程中,不同添加剂(玉米秸秆、锯末和蘑菇渣)处理对甲烷、氧化亚氮和氨气排放的影响。创新要点:将不同的添加剂(玉米秸秆、锯末和蘑菇渣)应用到快速堆肥系统中进行堆肥,测定了猪粪堆肥过程中甲烷、氧化亚氮和氨气的排放规律,为国内猪粪堆肥的应用提供理论指导。重要结论:玉米秸秆作为添加剂能增加猪粪堆肥过程中氧化亚氮的排放;蘑菇渣添加剂增加了堆肥过程中甲烷的排放,然而减少了氧化亚氮及氨气的排放;锯末处理能增加堆肥过程中氨气的排放。添加剂能显著影响堆肥过程中氮素的损失。     

Cognitive-inspired domain adaptation of sentiment lexicons

Sentiment lexicons are essential tools for polarity classification and opinion mining. In contrast to machine learning methods that only leverage text features or raw text for sentiment analysis, methods that use sentiment lexicons embrace higher interpretability. Although a number of domain-specific sentiment lexicons are made available, it is impractical to build an ex ante lexicon that fully reflects the characteristics of the language usage in endless domains. In this article, we propose a novel approach to simultaneously train a vanilla sentiment classifier and adapt word polarities to the target domain. Specifically, we sequentially track the wrongly predicted sentences and use them as the supervision instead of addressing the gold standard as a whole to emulate the life-long cognitive process of lexicon learning. An exploration-exploitation mechanism is designed to trade off between searching for new sentiment words and updating the polarity score of one word. Experimental results on several popular datasets show that our approach significantly improves the sentiment classification performance for a variety of domains by means of improving the quality of sentiment lexicons. Case-studies also illustrate how polarity scores of the same words are discovered for different domains.

Keep calm and carry on: moral panic,predatory publishers,peer review,and the emperor's new clothes

The moral panic over the impact of so-called predatory publishers continues unabated. It is important, however, to resist the urge to simply join in this crusade without pausing to examine the assumptions upon which such concerns are based. It is often assumed that established journals are almost sacrosanct, and that their quality, secured by peer review, is established. It is also routinely presumed that such journals are immune to the lure of easy money in return for publication. Rather than looking at the deficits that may be apparent in the practices and products of predatory publishers, this commentary invites you to explore the weaknesses that have been exposed in traditional academic journals but are seldom discussed in the context of predatory publishing. The inherent message for health and medical services staff, researchers, academics, and students is, as always, to critically evaluate all sources of information, whatever their provenance.
