A Generic Plant Functional Attribute Set and Grammar for Vegetation Description and Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conventional descriptive methods rarely convey the behavioural information needed to conserve and manage the world’s vegetation. Such information may be derived from a generic set of plant functional attributes (PFAs). A grammar provides a syntactic rule base for generating and comparing coherent models of individual plant behaviour based on PFA combinations rather than discrete attributes. The method facilitates rapid and uniform assessment of plant response to environmental change at varying spatial scales regardless of species.

A Study of Ideational Grammatical Metaphor in Health Texts of English Newspapers
Systemic functional grammar constructs a grammar for the purpose of text analysis to investigate how grammar is used as a means of making meaning. Grammatical metaphor is one of the language phenomena introduced by Halliday (2004) in the framework of functional grammar. The present work focuses on the application of Halliday’s metafunctional framework in health texts of English newspapers. The ...

Background: In this paper, a generic hesitant fuzzy set (HFS) model for clustering various ECG beats according to weights of attributes is proposed. A comprehensive review of the electrocardiogram signal classification and segmentation methodologies indicates that algorithms which are able to effectively handle the nonstationary and uncertainty of the signals should be used for ECG analysis. Ex...
متن کاملGeneric Attribute
This paper introduces generic attribute grammars which provide support for genericity, reusability and modularity in attribute grammars. A generic attribute grammar is a component that is easily reused, composed and understood. Attribute grammar based systems may be constructed out of a set of generic components, that can be analysed and compiled separately. We show how to generate deforestated...
متن کاملIdeational Grammatical Metaphor in Merry Shelly’s Frankenstein and its Cinematic Adaptation
Within Systemic Functional Linguistics, Grammatical Metaphor (GM) is a meaning-making resource lying at the experiential level that extends the meaning potential through cross-stratal re-mappings between the grammar and the semantics, boiling down, in one of its manifestations to expressing something that should have been a process (verb) in terms of a thing (noun). This study is an attempt at ...
