End-to-end style-conditioned poetry generation: What does it take to learn from examples alone?

In this work, we design an end-to-end model for poetry generation based on conditioned recurrent neural network (RNN) language models whose goal is to learn stylistic features (poem length, sentiment, alliteration, and rhyming) from examples alone. We show this model successfully learns the meaning' of length and sentiment, as we can control it to generate longer or shorter as well as more positive or more negative poems. However, the model does not grasp sound phenomena like alliteration and rhyming, but instead exploits low-level statistical cues. Possible reasons include the size of the training data, the relatively low frequency and difficulty of these sublexical phenomena as well as model biases. We show that more recent GPT-2 models also have problems learning sublexical phenomena such as rhyming from examples alone.

The effect of nitrogen fertilization rates and the yield components of some Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) in intensive lug in the province of Damascus

This search was carried out in the farm of faculty of Agriculture- Damascus during 2012-2013 to determine the adaption of five Safflower genotypes) Farming conditions in the lug intensive in the province of Damascus under the effect of different nitrogen fertilizers and witness without fertilization N3 . And how they affected safflower accessions morphological traits and productivity.

The effect of seeding rate on productivity traits of some Anise (Pimpinella anisum L.) ecotypes in Syria

This research was carried out at the farm of Faculty of Agriculture, Damascus University, during 2010-2011 growing season to determine the effect of seedling rate on yield traits (plant number at harvesting, plant height, number of umbels/plant, number and weight of seeds/ umbel, plant dry weight, seed yield and harvest index.) of four ecogenotypes of Anise plants, (Pimpinella anisum L.) collected from different places of Syria: Damascus countryside (Hena, Saasaa), Homs and Edlib. Sowing rates were 10, 15 and 20 Kg/ha.. Trial was laid out using completely randomized block design with three replicates for each treatment. Results showed that studied traits differed according to seeding rate and the ecotype. There were significant differences for the treatment of seeding rate of 15 kg/ha., on seed yield. Regardless the ecotype, increasing the seeding rate up to 20 kg/ha. resulted in maintenance of highest number of plants/unit area, but accompanied with reduction in fertile umbels and seed weight. Statistical analysis showed that the ecotype of Edlib recorded the highest seed weight/ plant and highest seed yield/ planted area, especially with the seeding rate of 15 kg/ha. However, the results showed the seed components of Anise (plant number at harvesting, weight of seeds/ plant) and seed yield were affected by the ecotype and seeding rate.

Architectural Spaces Analysis to Official Buildings at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century: Comparison with the Functionalism Theory

Architects at the nineteenth century began to quote from the past architecture models and use them until they reached a modern architecture that has become a way to the face conditions and solve recent problems, At the beginning of the twentieth century, architects do no longer quote, but rather they contribute to shape the environment, so they dealt with the definition of functional theory, that accompanied the emergence of modern architecture, coupled with the name of the French architect Le Corbusier. Early twenties appeared clearly in the design of interior spaces of official buildings in the city of Damascus, and highlighted the similarities and differences among them. Therefore we study the influence of this theory on the Architectural spaces of the total volume of the building, considered a significant impact in highlighting the needs of these buildings in the rehabilitation process, and we specified the requirements that meet the comfort and utility to take advantage of the characteristics of the architectural features of different spaces, in addition we study the functional relations for these buildings, then select the new architectural elements that have emerged and study the possibility of its optimal position. All this work was within the framework of contributing to the functional design of internal spaces for the official buildings to keep pace with modern requirements and regulations of modern management for such buildings.

The Colonial Effects on the local character in Architecture & urban design

Through studies of forms and theories of design and trends of some of European designers over the centuries, and those who flashed fixed relationship between Architecture and society in most of their work, in spite of differences in Academic learning for our local Architects, we found that they didn’t look for relationship of the colonial Architecture and the local Identity in history and heritage, but through environment surrounding building, perspective, and location. Thus, they built elegant regular buildings, by using consistent dimensions in typical Module, then they covered it with elements and items, producing the so-called Arabized model. It didn’t make us feel the contemporary technologies which were used with simulating or domination, seeming habitual, without throwing off the identity and the relation with its cultural heritage roots, of most Architects. We felt that we are in continuity between modernity and history. Our Architects, by their cleverness and their skills, succeeded in saving the features of our personalities in their works. Some of them create building that maintain local characteristics known as “The Arabized colonial Architecture “which indicated characters of the Arabic Identity. Hybrid Architecture was born, it was clear in houses which were composed by reinforced concrete, newly arrived with composite language (ottoman –Arabic and Italian) which were developed in Beirut in the mid of the 19th century, which was known as Lebanon House. It was known by three arches in the middle of the façade, repeated in new modeling forms and these houses were done with multiple floors, in spite of these elements were transferred from western Architecture forms such as flitted columns, complex crowns, lot of decoration, but our character seemed clear and the hybrid mixture was successful.
