We present a new and convenient method for automatically positioning parts in an assembly. High-level entities of mating features and mating relations are used to describe the composed state of parts in an assembly. The characteristics of volume, reference origin, and boundary face of mating features and parts are used to determine automatic partpositioning operations. Using the proposed approa...

We present two algorithms for supporting semi-automatic ontology building, integrated in WPro, a new architecture for ontology learning from Web documents. The first algorithm automatically extracts ontological entities from tables, by using specific heuristics and WordNet-based analysis. The second algorithm harvests semantic relations from unstructured texts using Natural Language Processing ...

KEY WORDS: Yusupov, poet, friendship, lyrics, genre, friendship.

We obtain several combinatorial results about chains, cycles and orbits of the elements of the symmetric inverse semigroup ISn and the set Tn of nilpotent elements in ISn. We also get some estimates for the growth of |ISn| and |Tn|, and study random products of elements from ISn.

The paper discusses comparative generic sentences As are F-er than Bs—girls do better than boys in grade school, for example—which pose severe problems for extant accounts. In their stead, the paper proposes reconceiving the LF of generic sentences as more closely akin to that of sentences containing non-generic plurals, paradigmatically plural definite descriptions. Given this one crucial chan...

Ward sisters/managers are without doubt the professional gate keepers of the ward environment yet there are activities in that environment for which they do not seem to take full responsibility, namely that of the clinical learning of nursing students. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the ward manager in creating a conducive clinical learning environment for nursing students...

Mark Silk has proposed in Unsecular Media that journalists operate with a limited series of topoi and that these are borrowed from religion. Silk thus claims when journalists write about religion, they do so in a way that ultimately supports religious values. In this study, I apply topic analysis to recent news coverage of Jesse Jackson’s marital infidelity to determine the extent to which the ...

Research on mass communications and on the acceptance of new farm practices may be characterized as an interest in campaigns to gain a acceptance of change. Despite their shared problems, these two fields have shown no interest in each other. However, very recently, as the student of mass communications began to revise his image of an atomized mass society, there have been signs of growing conv...

Using 100 clinical cases, we examined the construct validity of the Mutuality of Autonomy (MOA) Scale (Urist, 1977) using Westen and Rosenthal's (2003) r(contrast - construct validity (CV)) procedure for quantifying a pattern of convergent-discriminant relationships between a target measure and a set of criterion variables. Our 15 criterion variables included the Comprehensive System (CS; Exner...
