In this work we extend to the interval-valued setting the notion of an overlap functions and we discuss a method which makes use of interval-valued overlap functions for constructing OWA operators with interval-valued weights. . Some properties of intervalvalued overlap functions and the derived interval-valued OWA operators are analysed. We specially focus on the homogeneity and migrativity pr...

We present a flexible analysis/synthesis tool for transient signals that extends current sinusoidal and sines+noise models for audio to sines+transients+noise. The explicit handling of transients provides a more realistic and robust signal model. Because the transient model presented is the frequency domain dual to sinusoidal modeling, it has similar flexibility and allows for a wide range of t...

We present improvements to our incremental proposition-based summariser, which is inspired by Kintsch and van Dijk’s (1978) text comprehension model. Argument overlap is a central concept in this summariser. Our new model replaces the old overlap method based on distributional similarity with one based on lexical chains. We evaluate on a new corpus of 124 summaries of educational texts, and sho...

We construct a sequence of convex polyhedra on n vertices with the property that, as n→∞, the fraction of its edge unfoldings that avoid overlap approaches 0, and so the fraction that overlap approaches 1. Nevertheless, each does have (several) nonoverlapping edge unfoldings.

Data contained in a 1982 paper were analyzed in terms of relevance odds of common items retrieved by searching any two content-bearing search fields. While the 1982 study compared the relative retrieval performance of 7 search fields, the present study shows that duplicate documents retrieved by the use of terms from any two of the fields would have higher odds of being judged relevant than tho...

stevens-johnson syndrome (sjs) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (ten) are severe adverse cutaneous reactions to drugs. we describe the case of a 19 year old patient with sjs/ten overlap syndrome, who developed severe interstitial pneumonia after she had received antiepileptic drugs. a cytomegalovirus infection was diagnosed by real time polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) detection on bronchoalveo...

We formulate the massive overlap fermions on anisotropic lattices. We find that the dispersion relation for the overlap fermion resembles the continuum form in the low-momentum region once the bare parameters are properly tuned. The quark selfenergy and the quark field renormalization constants are calculated to one-loop in bare lattice perturbation theory. We argue that massive domain wall qua...
