Foreword Foreword

Distributional semantics in linguistic and cognitive research. A foreword

The hypothesis that word co-occurrence statistics extracted from text corpora can provide a basis for semantic representations has been gaining growing attention both in computational linguistics and in cognitive science. The terms distributional, context-theoretic, corpusbased or statistical can all be used (almost interchangeably) to qualify a rich family of approaches to semantics that share...

Foreword. Bioceramic research on intelligent implants and drug delivery system.

Hydroxyapatite (HAp, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) has a hexagonal crystalline system and is a mineral component of vertebrate hard tissues, an important raw biomaterials and an element of drug delivery systems. It is commonly used as a filler to replace amputated bone or as a coating to promote bone ingrowth into prosthetic implants. There are, therefore, two historical research approaches to develop bioco...
