paper, we describe an automated system, which is designed to enhance the discovery of lexical relations in the Chinese language and construct a richly structured network labelled with lexical relations. Lexical relations are very important for NLP. Most previous work to get them is done by hand. In this paper, we describe an automated strategy which exploits a machine readable dictionary (MRD) ...

We present the architecture of a mobile Trusted Platform Module (mTPM). Current implementations of TPM architectures assume physical bindings between the TPM and a single hardware platform. In this paper we introduce an alternative where a TPM is bound to a single virtual machine (VM) on a portable device, following the specifications provided by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG). By communicat...

We study the prospects for the current microlensing searches, which have recently discovered several candidates, to yield useful information about the attening of the Galaxy dark matter halo. Models of HI warps and N-body simulations of galaxy formation suggest that disks commonly form in oblate halos with a tilt between the disk and halo symmetry axes. The microlensing optical depth for the La...

Agrawal, A. A., Janssen, A., Bruin, J., Posthumus, M.A., Sabelis, W. M. 2002. An ecological cost of plant defense: attractiveness of bitter cucumber plants to natural enemies of herbivores. Ecology Letters 5: 377-385. The authors examine this tritrophic system from the bottom-up perspective by comparing the direct plant defense of producing the bitter compound, cucurbitacin, which repels the he...

the current curriculum for both medical and engineering students does not include any serious program for research and technology development, by which capable students can become a man of research and a man with high-tech skills as soon as possible. however, there are opportunities for several good experiences in iranian universities such as “research student clubs,” [2,3] which show that ther...
