We examine the influence of contrast categories on the internal graded membership structure of natural language categories. To this end we contrast two exemplar models in their account of typicality: According to the GCM, typicality is the summed similarity towards all category members. According to the SDGCM, typicality is determined by both the summed similarity towards all category members a...

Giant cell myocarditis (GCM), a rapidly progressive inflammation of the myocardium, is associated with fulminant heart failure, refractory ventricular arrhythmias, and conduction system abnormalities. Few case reports have noted orbital myositis as the initial clinical presentation. Our case demonstrates a unique presentation of GCM with only ocular symptoms, which unlike prior studies, rapidly...

The GCM (Grid Component Model) is a component model that is being defined by the CoreGRID institute on Programming Models; it is based on the Fractal component model. It is intended at overcoming the insufficiencies of the existing component systems when it comes to Grid computing. Its main characteristics are: hierarchical composition, structured communications with support for asynchrony, sup...

Word Sense Induction (WSI) is the task of identifying the different senses (uses) of a target word in a given text. This paper focuses on the unsupervised estimation of the free parameters of a graph-based WSI method, and explores the use of eight Graph Connectivity Measures (GCM) that assess the degree of connectivity in a graph. Given a target word and a set of parameters, GCM evaluate the co...

Endomesoderm is the common progenitor of endoderm and mesoderm early in the development of many animals. In the sea urchin embryo, the Delta/Notch pathway is necessary for the diversification of this tissue, as are two early transcription factors, Gcm and FoxA, which are expressed in mesoderm and endoderm, respectively. Here, we provide a detailed lineage analysis of the cleavages leading to en...

We compare regional climate change scenarios (temperature and precipitation) over eastern Nebraska produced by a semiempirical statistical downscaling (SDS) technique and regional climate model (RegCM2) experiments, both using large scale information from the same coarse resolution general circulation model (GCM) control and 2 x COe simulations. The SDS method is based on the circulation patter...

The structure of the tropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere in the GEOS-2 General Circulation Model (GCM) is discussed. The emphasis of this study is on the reality of monthly-mean temperature and water vapor distributions in the model, compared to reasonable observational estimates. It is shown that although the zonal-mean temperature is in good agreement with observations, the GCM ...

Considered many partitional clustering algorithms are originated from the definition of mean, we propose a new clustering model---general c-means clustering algorithm (GCM). Generally, when the data set is clustered into c (c>1) subsets, each subset is often expected to have a different prototype (or cluster center) than others. Therefore, we propose the definition of undesirable solution of cl...

Members of the GCM family of transcription factors contain a DNA binding domain unrelated to any other known DNA binding domain and bind to a DNA sequence motif not recognized by any other known transcription factor. Here we show that positions 2, 3, 6 and 7 of the 5'-ATGCGGGT-3' motif are particularly important for DNA binding and that methylation of several G residues on the upper strand, but...
