چکیده

It is argued that medical science requires a classificatory system that (a) puts functions in the taxonomic center and (b) does justice ontologically to the difference between the processes which are the realizations of functions and the objects which are their bearers. We propose formulae for constructing such a system and describe some of its benefits. The arguments are general enough to be of interest to all the life sciences.

TAXONOMIC VALUE OF LEAF ANATOMY IN IRANIAN FINE-LEAVED FESTUCA

Festuca L. comprises perennial herbs and about 450 species. It belongs to the tribe Poeae R. Br. (= Festucaceae Dumort), subfamily Pooideae of Poaceae. These species are different in leaf size, life duration and lamina width. The genus is divided into two groups based on lamina width: fine-leaved and broad-leaved. In this study, leaf anatomy of F. akhanii, F. elwendiana,F. heterophylla, F. sulc...

A TAXONOMIC STUDY OF CORYDALIS SUBGENERA AND SECTIONS IN IRAN USING ANATOMIC AND POLLEN CHARACTERISTICS

The stem anatomy and pollen morphology of Iranian members of the genus Corydalis (except C. seisumsiana in pollen morphology) were studied using light and SEM microscopy. The results verified the argument that the tuberous sections of Corydalis, including Radix-cava, Corydalisand Leonticoides could be classified in a single subgenus as a natural grouping. The study also revealed that the specie...

Proposal for Automatic Extraction of Taxonomic Relations in Domain Corpus

This paper addresses the study in the Natural Language Processing area focused on the analysis and automatic extraction of taxonomic relations in domain corpus. In addition, a methodology is proposed emphasizing the automatic extraction by patterns and methods of grouping as the formal concepts analysis. This work considers the validation of the proposal through the information provided by task...

Descoberta Automática de Relações Não-Taxonômicas a Partir de Corpus em Língua Portuguesa

Ontology construction is a complex process composed by extraction tasks for domain concepts, as well as taxonomic and non-taxonomic relations among concepts. The extraction of non-taxonomic relations is the most neglected task, specially for Portuguese texts. Therefore, this paper presents a proposal for extracting non-taxonomic relations from Portuguese texts represented by a list of concepts ...

Assessing Clade Wise Concordance between Phylogenetic Trees and Corresponding Taxonomic Trees

Darwin [1], used morphological characters or polygenic traits to describe the hierarchy in complexity among related and distant species although he was unaware of the source of variation. Only later, after the discovery of Mendel’s laws explained that the genetic variations are generated by mutations. Speciation is based on the analysis of the extent of similarity among a wide variety of morpho...
