AbstractDiscourse structure annotation aims at analysing how discourse units (e.g. sentences or clauses) relate to each other and what roles they play in the overall discourse. Several annotation tools for discourse structure have been developed. However, they often only support specific annotation schemes, making their usage limited to new schemes. This article presents TIARA 2.0, an annotation tool for discourse structure and text improvement. Departing from our specific needs, we extend an existing tool to accommodate four levels of annotation: discourse structure, argumentative structure, sentence rearrangement and content alteration. The latter two are particularly unique compared to existing tools. TIARA is implemented on standard web technologies and can be easily customised. It deals with the visual complexity during the annotation process by systematically simplifying the layout and by offering interactive visualisation, including clutter-reducing features and dual-view display. TIARA’s text-view allows annotators to focus on the analysis of logical sequencing between sentences. The tree-view allows them to review their analysis in terms of the overall discourse structure. Apart from being an annotation tool, it is also designed to be useful for educational purposes in the teaching of argumentation; this gives it an edge over other existing tools.

In this paper, the total daily global solar radiation is tested at 18 locations with different morphological characteristics in Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology. PTgui is used to convert the panoramic pictures from Baidu Street Map to fisheye images. Sky view factor (SVF) and tree view factor (TVF) are calculated by Rayman model with fisheye images. SVF is used to calculate the total daily global solar radiation at the 18 locations with two different methods and TVF is used to classify the locations. The calculations and testing results are compared and combined the morphological characteristics. Then it is found that using suitable methods on different locations is necessary to obtain more accurate results whether the TVF (tree view factor) is more than 0.3 or less. To obtain solar radiation at different locations in the urban area, the calculating methods should be carefully chosen based on the morphology characteristics of the location.

The management of user permissions is one of the basic functions of a database system.Firstly,the common database system user access control methods and their characteristics are explored;Secondly,a general role permission management method based on menu items is proposed,then the design of the tables,the design and implementation of the menu item visiting class,and the design and implementation of a window using a tree-view to set role permissions were given;Finally,introduced the application of this method in database systems with an open computer-room management system.

Over the past decade, researchers have discovered that apart from the essential genes, bacterial genomes also contain a variable amount of accessory genes acquired by horizontal gene transfer (HGT) that are categorized as genomic islands (GIs). GIs encode adaptive traits, which might be beneficial for the species under certain growth or environmental conditions. It has always been a challenge for biologists to identify GIs within a bacterial genome as they evolve very rapidly. This paper proposes a standalone software, IslanHunter, that has been developed using Java and BioJava and can extract GI regions using GC content, codon usage bias, dinucleotide frequency bias, tetranucleotide frequency bias, k-mer signature analysis (2-mer, 3-mer, 4-mer, 5-mer, and 6-mer) and presence of mobility genes. IslandHunter provides a simple graphical user interface where disclosed GIs are displayed in a tree-view and a circular graph. Users are presented with options to save the GI regions as blocks of DNA sequences in FASTA format. They can later use these predicted GI regions for further analysis. IslandHunter can take as input, files in GenBank, EMBL or FASTA formats. IslandHunter provides flexible display options and save options. The software has been evaluated against exiting tools with good performance. It is available for evaluation at https://github.com/ShakunBaichoo/IslandHunter .

To identify literary influences is, conventionally, to build a genealogy—to, in Salman Rushdie’s words, “name one’s parents.” But can this family-tree view of literary influence hold up in postcolonial literature—a body of work that has so thoroughly deconstructed concepts of genealogy? This article turns to a pivotal case of “influence” in postcolonial Francophone literature and philosophy: among Édouard Glissant and Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. The latter two writers are thought to have influenced Glissant’s thinking with their concept of the “rhizome,” but the rhizome directly counters such genealogizing as this “influence” would imply. In fact, this article shows, Glissant develops his own version of the rhizome from his very earliest writings, particularly his first poems. An analysis of them alongside Glissant’s subsequent essays and Deleuze and Guattari’s own writing, allows for a more complicated, multidirectional—that is, rhizomatic—theory of postcolonial influence.

This chapter gives an overview of some editing tools for ontology construction. At the present time, the development of a project like the one of building an ontology demands the use of a software tool. Therefore, it is given a synopsis of the tools that the authors consider more relevant. This way, if you are starting out on an ontology project, the first reaction is to find a suitable ontology editor. Furthermore, the authors hope that by reading this chapter, it will be possible to choose an editing tool for ontology construction according to the project goals. The tools have been described following a list of features. The authors believe that the following features are pertinent: collaborative ontology edition, versioning, graphical tree view, OWL editor and many others (see Appendix 2).
