A significant obstacle to scientific progress in machine reading is an objective evaluation method. Precision and recall, while for the most part quantitative, are often measured with respect to some “gold standard” or “ground truth” – itself typically a human annotated corpus. For more complex tasks, such as interdocument coreference resolution, or open ended tasks such as machine reading, rel...

The relational model and its extensions are often considered incompatible with object-orientation. However, on the one hand nested relations provide the complex object features demanded by object models. Particularly, powerful query languages exploit the complex data structure while keeping the advantages of the declarative, set-oriented paradigm. On the other hand, object models provide semant...

Basically, what we can try to do is to take the Fourier transform of 1R (the indicator function for the set R), and then use Fourier inversion to show that for each shift t+L of the lattice L, this shift intersects the set R. Actually, it will not quite be enough to take the Fourier transform of just 1R, but instead we will need to work with a smoothed version of 1R in order to make the Fourier...

Article info: Received: 23 January 2013 Accepted: 5 February 2013 ABSTRACT One of the major challenges in modern synthetic polymer chemistry is to synthesize end defined polymers of different end functionality with predetermined uniform molecular weight. End functionalized polymers/copolymers basically in block and grafting form are having several potential applications in biomedical areas in t...

Response on the general comments of the reviewer: I agree with the reviewer in terms of the phrasing.. The article is now proof-read and hopefully better readable. I added a description of the TRUE algorithm for completeness and reorganized the text and make a proof-read, basically we made a major revision of the paper. The usage of the TRUE tangent height retrieval LUT instead of another is du...

In this paper a Split Radix FFT without the use of multiplier is designed. All the complex multiplications are done by using Distributed Arithmetic (DA) technique. For faster calculation parallel prefix adder is used. Basically high radix algorithms are developed for efficient calculation of FFT. These algorithms reduces overall arithmetic operations in FFT, but increases the number of operatio...

The strategies that High Risk Human Papillomavirus (HR-HPVs) have developed in differentiating epithelial cells to reach a DNA-synthesis competent state are basically related to the overexpression of the E6 and E7 oncoproteins and the cellular regulatory pathways that are targeted by them. These are basically related to hallmarks of cancer, and include sustaining proliferative signals, the evas...

When learners are exposed to inconsistent input, do they reproduce the probabilities in the input (probability matching), or produce some variants disproportionately often (regularization)? Laboratory results and computational models of artificial language learning both argue that the learning mechanism is basically probability matching, with regularization arising from additional factors. Howe...

We study ultrafilters on ω produced by forcing with the quotient of P(ω) by the Fubini square of the Fréchet filter on ω. We show that such an ultrafilter is a weak P-point but not a Ppoint and that the only non-principal ultrafilters strictly below it in the Rudin-Keisler order are a single isomorphism class of selective ultrafilters. We further show that it enjoys the strongest squarebracket ...

This paper presents an XML-based framework for implementation language and platform independent service execution behaviour representation. It is based on an FSMinterpreter which can interpret and execute XML-represented FSM behaviour. This model has been integrated into TAPAS (Telematics Architecture for Plug-and-Play Systems) platform. TAPAS has basically two engineering viewpoint functionali...
