This review focuses on the analysis of temporal beta diversity, which is the variation in community composition along time in a study area. Temporal beta diversity is measured by the variance of the multivariate community composition time series and that variance can be partitioned using appropriate statistical methods. Some of these methods are classical, such as simple or canonical ordination...

This paper demonstrates that the treatment of nominal derivational morphology in Pān. ini’s grammar of the Sanskrit language (ca. 500BC) is based on an architecture strikingly similar to that of modern inheritance-based lexica. Specifically, Pān. ini adopts a single inheritance network with defaults to account concisely for intricate cases of affix homonymy and affix synonymy with minimal redun...

The problem of indexing multidimensional objects is considered. First, a classification of existing methods is given along with a discussion of the major issues involved in multidimensional data indexing. Second, a variation to Guttman’s R-trees (R+-trees) that avoids overlapping rectangles in intermediate nodes of the tree is introduced. Algorithms for searching, updating, initial packing and ...
