We address the problem of transferring semantic annotations to new languages using parallel corpora. Previous work has transferred these annotations on a token-to-token basis, an approach that is sensitive to alignment errors and translation shifts. We present a global approach to transfer that aggregates information across the whole parallel corpus and leads to more robust labellers. We build ...

The IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) is now the de-facto standard for the overwhelming majority of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). Up to now, many different 802.11 models, including channel models, stack models and traffic models, were proposed to estimate the protocol characteristics [1]. Almost all of them are based on the network simulation in MATLAB [2] , OPNET [3], ns-2 [4] or other packages. Unfo...

Despite the success of statecharts, surprisingly little research effort has been devoted to improving code synthesis techniques for them. The work presented below is an outcome of growing interest in the area. We discuss one possible improvement for code generators retaining explicit information about the model hierarchy. The problem of dynamic scope for multitarget transitions is described and...

I propose the first strictly compositional semantic account of same. New data, including especially NP-internal uses such as two men with the same name, suggests that same in its basic use is a quantificational element taking scope over nominals. Given type-lifting as a generally available mechanism, I show that this follows naturally from the fact that same is an adjective. Independently-motiv...

INTRODUCTION Flexible ureteroscopes are expensive and delicate instruments that are integral in the offering of a minimally invasive technique of diagnosis and treatment of urolithiasis. Published literature has identified the importance of early damage recognition in preventing frequent use of the scope that would lead to further damage and high repair and replacement costs. Our study was desi...

This study investigates the market value impacts of IT-enabled supply chain systems using event study method. The authors examine abnormal stock returns to investments in IT-enabled SCM systems announced by 346 firms from 2001 to 2004, and find significant, positive abnormal returns for two, three, and five day periods surrounding the event date. Further, the authors employ organizational integ...
