PROTO-INDO-EUROPEAN is the traditional name given to the ancestor language of the Indo-European family that is spread from Iceland to Chinese Turkestan and from Scandinavia to the Near East. A PROTO-LANGUAGE (Gk. prõtos ‘first’) refers to the earliest form of a language family presupposed by all of its descendants. There will forever be major gaps in the reconstruction of proto-languages, but a...

In this paper we introduce an extension of the Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) learning model to study the problem of learning inclusion hierarchies of concepts (sometimes called is-a hierarchies) from random examples. Using only the hypothesis representations output over many different runs of a learning algorithm, we wish to reconstruct the partial order (with respect to generality) amon...

In light of the understanding that the analysis of the generic features of different academic genres can enhance the ability of non-native members of academic discourse communities to understand, and where appropriate, to produce them, the present study aimed at investigating the dominant generic structure of research articles in mathematics. To start with a relatively narrow focus, a corpus of...

Rationale: Adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a metabolic and redox sensor, is reported to suppress cell proliferation of nonmalignant and tumor cells. Whether AMPK alters vascular neointima formation induced by vascular injury is unknown. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the roles of AMPK in the development of vascular neointima hyperplasia and to elucida...

This paper addresses the problem of assessing the veridicity of textual content. Has an event mentioned in the text really occurred? Who is the source of the information? What is the stance of the author of the text? Does the author indicate whether he believes the source? We will survey some of linguistic conventions that indicate the author’s commitment, or the lack thereof, to the propositio...

As discussed at the recent international conference on poly-myxins in Prato, Italy [2], there is much to be done to improve the official phar-macopoeial monographs for the poly-myxins, an important goal supported by K...
