Based on the investigation of the usage of letter-word phrases in the “People’s Daily”(year 2002), several discussions, including classifying ELWPs occurring in the corpus, defining the ELWPs, analyzing and categorizing mono-alphabetic ELWPs and digital ELWPs, exploring ELWP parallel structures and so on, on letter-word phrases are presented in the paper. Wish to bestead the Chinese information...

This paper discusses a parallel genetic algorithm (PGA) which focuses on the local operator for Traveling salesman problem (TSP). The local operator is a simple GA named as Local Genetic Algorithm (LGA). The LGA is combined to another GA named as Global Genetic Algorithm (GGA). It increases the computational time running a GA as a local operator in another one. To solve this problem, we build a...

Social Web platforms are quickly becoming the natural place for people to engage in discussing current events, topics, and policies. Analysing such discussions is of high value to analysts who are interested in assessing up-to-the-minute public opinion, consensus, and trends. However, we have a limited understanding of how content and user features can influence the amount of response that post...

Knitting is often practiced as a group activity that takes place in the domestic environment. Besides collectivity, using motifs with meanings has also facilitated communication between people. Building on these ideas, workshop was designed to facilitate discussions about everyday concerns or experiences, both personal and societal levels, strengthen self others. In workshop, thirteen participa...

This paper presents a novel decoupled parallel 2-DOF spherical mechanism. First, the design idea is introduced based on a general 2-DOF spherical mechanism. Next, following the discussions of some practical types of flat pairs, the new mechanism is given. Besides, the new mechanism uses a planar parallelogram to replace the prismatic pair to achieve the simple kinematics of one-to-one input-out...

The large amount of pseudepigraphical literature which circulated during the early period of the history of the church serves one useful function. It provides a most effective contrast with the canonical New Testament books, which cannot fail to stamp the latter as productions of a different kind. It has always been recognized that imitation is a form of flattery which often leads to a greater ...
