The document discusses the growing social, legal, and political risks facing the extractive sector from various stakeholders such as Indigenous peoples. It makes three key points:
1) Indigenous peoples are a unique stakeholder as they have distinct legal rights and title to lands and resources that mining projects may be located on. This allows them to significantly influence permitting and oppose projects.
2) Companies face longer development timelines and higher costs due to increased risks from stakeholders like Indigenous groups. Proper stakeholder engagement is needed to mitigate risks.
3) An alliance between Indigenous peoples and environmental groups can greatly increase permitting challenges for companies through legal actions and protests. Conversely, impact benefit agreements with Indigenous groups can help fast-track permitting

This document discusses using machine learning to improve garbage collection in Java. It explores using machine learning to predict whether an object will survive long enough to be promoted to the older generation of memory. The author conducted experiments using mutual information to determine which object attributes, like allocation site and size, correlate with object lifetime. Based on the results, the author proposes using a decision tree model for classification to predict object tenuring. Future work would involve offline and possibly online training of the decision tree to integrate the predictions into the Java runtime's garbage collection. The experiments found mutual information a useful technique for analyzing object lifetime heuristics and uncovered new attributes related to object type that correlate with lifetime.

The document outlines the steps for a student group project on identifying and addressing a problem at UTHM. The group chose to examine parking issues. They developed a questionnaire to understand parking challenges, distribute it, collect responses, analyze the data, and present their findings. The questionnaire gathered opinions on parking locations, issues, and potential solutions. Respondents identified crowded parking areas and agreed more parking space is needed, especially between student and staff areas. Most felt vehicles parked incorrectly caused pedestrian difficulties.
Teleconsultation refers to the electronic communication that happens between a clinician and patient for the purpose of diagnostic or therapeutic advice. Teleconsultations are particularly useful to provide healthcare services in situations where face-to-face consultation may not be easy. So far, the teleconsultations sessions are primarily supported by audio and video based communication. Although audio and video based communications are advantageous for teleconsultation, they may not fully support all the diagnostic tasks that are carried out in a face-to-face consultation session. For example, diagnosis of physical injuries may require physical handling through touch, which is not possible over video based communication. To address this, I put forward a novel approach of using tangible interfaces and artifacts to support physical diagnostic tasks in a teleconsultation sessions.
The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding on how to design such tangible interfaces. The research will be carried out in three phases. In the first phase, I will investigate the experience of users with technology involved in a teleconsultation session through observation studies to gather a deep understanding on existing teleconsultation processes. These insights will inform the design for tangible interfaces to support teleconsultation session. The prototyping will be carried out in second phase. Finally, in the third phase I will field deploy the prototype to gather and understand its implication in teleconsultation sessions. This investigation will guide me towards a first conceptual understanding of the design of tangible interfaces for teleconsultation sessions. Ultimately, my aim is to invoke thinking towards natural (tangible) interfaces in supporting teleconsultations to get closer to the experience of face-to-face consultation.
The document summarizes the wire drawing process. Wire drawing is used to reduce the cross-sectional area of wire by pulling it through progressively smaller dies. There are single step and continuous wire drawing machines. Proper lubrication is important for smooth finishes and long die life. Different types of dies and materials are used depending on the type of wire. Automation using programmable logic controllers allows maintaining constant speed and drawing force for high accuracy and reduced labor costs.
This paper proposes a Tamil document summarization system that utilizes statistical, semantic, and heuristic methods to generate a coherent multi-document summary based on a given query. The system performs Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling on document clusters to identify important topics and words. Sentences are then scored based on topic modeling results and redundancy is removed using Maximal Marginal Relevance. The summary is generated from the highest scoring sentences in different perspectives based on the query topic or entities. Evaluation results show the system effectively summarizes multiple documents according to the query.
The document describes an indexing approach for faster retrieval of words from a database to generate Tamil lyrics based on part of speech, meter pattern, and rhyme scheme. It discusses the three rhyme schemes in Tamil (monai, edhugai, iyaibu) and meter patterns based on syllable length. The approach builds separate hash tables indexed by meter pattern and rhyming letters for each part of speech and rhyme scheme. Evaluating retrieval times shows the indexed approach takes on average 1.9 milliseconds compared to 875.47 milliseconds for an unindexed word-based approach, providing much faster retrieval with constant time complexity.
The document describes a template-based approach for generating multilingual summaries from documents in different languages. Templates are designed for tourism-related information like attractions, food, transportation. Information is extracted from documents represented in the Universal Networking Language (UNL) and used to generate summaries in both the source and target languages. Evaluation shows the approach achieves 90% accuracy in summary generation, though overall performance depends on factors like enconversion accuracy and dictionary coverage. The method can be extended to generate summaries for additional languages.
The document discusses analyzing Tamil lyrics to determine word frequency, rhyme patterns, and concept co-occurrence. It presents an analysis of over 2,000 Tamil songs to identify the top 10 most commonly used words, rhyme pairs, and co-occurring concepts. The analysis found that the lyrics most commonly expressed emotions of happiness and love. Future work could examine identifying emotions by genre and genre-specific rhyming patterns and concept relationships.
The document proposes an automated framework for generating Tamil summaries of cricket matches from statistical scorecard data. The framework performs data analytics on scorecards, determines interesting aspects of matches, extracts key events, and generates customized summaries in Tamil. It evaluates summaries based on their similarity to human-written ones. The implementation summarizes 90 cricket matches between various countries. Results found many hidden patterns and determined factors influencing match interestingness. Summaries were 70-85% similar to human ones, showing the framework can effectively analyze matches and automatically generate concise Tamil summaries.
1) The paper proposes an efficient Tamil text compaction system that reduces Tamil text to around 40% of the original by identifying word categories and mapping words to compact forms while maintaining meaning.
2) The system handles common Tamil words, abbreviations/acronyms, and numbers by using a morphological analyzer to identify word roots and a generator to re-add suffixes. Compact forms are retrieved from mappings stored in data structures like trees and hashmaps.
3) Testing on over 10,000 words showed the final text was reduced to 40% of the original size, providing a more efficient way to communicate in Tamil on platforms with character limits like social media and text messages.
The document appears to contain excerpts from multiple poems or writings discussing themes of love, tyranny, oppression, and resistance. It references kissing one's beloved, mountains kissing the sky, the sun and moon, and love being forsaken at death. It also mentions tyrants riding among the people, slashing and stabbing until their rage dies away, with the spilled blood speaking of their shame. Overall it touches on natural imagery, the fleeting nature of love, and standing up against oppression through nonviolent means.
Electronic commerce, commonly known as e-commerce, consists of buying and selling products or services over electronic systems like the Internet. It has grown significantly with widespread Internet usage and innovations in areas like online payment processing and supply chain management. There are two main types: business-to-business (B2B) commerce between companies, and business-to-consumer (B2C) commerce between companies and individuals. In the late 1990s, many Internet-based companies emerged but then failed in the "dot-com bubble," demonstrating the risks of online businesses. Successful e-commerce companies now take a long-term, relationship-building approach with customers to encourage loyalty.

This document discusses enriching Tamil and English Wikipedia entries about Classical Tamil literary works. It finds that currently, Wikipedia entries on these topics are often skeletal, lacking citations and coherent information. The document analyzes problems with presenting information on Classical Tamil literature in online encyclopedias. It provides an example of an existing brief English Wikipedia entry on a minor Tamil work and a proposed expanded Tamil Wikipedia entry on the same work to demonstrate how entries could be improved by making them more comprehensive with additional details, references and context. The goal is to help non-Tamil readers and scholars better understand important aspects of Tamil literature and culture through improved online encyclopedia entries.
The document discusses ways to popularize classical Tamil literature (Sangam literature) among common people in the age of blogs and social media. It notes that while Sangam literature is praised internationally, it is not well known within Tamil Nadu due to its archaic language and themes. It proposes using blogs and social media to present Sangam poems with explanations, illustrations, audio/video, and relating them to popular culture to make them more accessible. Experimental approaches like comic books and online databases of flora/fauna referenced could increase understanding. Sharing on social networks could spread the reach of such literature more widely. New approaches are needed to revitalize interest in Sangam works for modern audiences.
This document analyzes the impact of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and Web 2.0 on Tamil blogs and social networks. It discusses how SOA and Web 2.0 have enabled the growth of Tamil blogs and social media use among Tamils globally. The document evaluates several Tamil blogs and social networks to analyze how they discuss political and social issues in Tamil Nadu over the past year. However, it finds that the content on many of these sites lacks reliability and feeds readers incorrect information and opinions rather than facts. It concludes that content on Tamil online media requires auditing and certification to establish credibility and provide readers an accurate picture of issues.
