Scientific research is increasingly digital. Some activities, like data analysis, search and simulation, can be accelerated by enabling scientists to write workflows and scripts that automate routine activities. These capture pieces of scientific method that can be shared with others. The Taverna Workbench, a widely deployed scientific workflow management system, together with the myExperiment ...

In this paper we describe a range of techniques used at NMSU CRL for accelerating the development of MT systems. These techniques enable semi-automatic development of a number of components of a multilingual MT system, thereby enabling rapid deployment of MT capabilities in a new language. First, we describe the core multi-engine, multilingual architecture that enables the different techniques ...

The question is: how has the system responded to the rigid rules and controls that have been imposed from the top? Did it improve the system, or did it produce gaming and compliance roleplaying? Have system leaders just blindly gone along with this whole "blame culture" that has been nurtured by Queen's Park to deflect blame from the inner circle of connected operators? Are there any leaders wh...

The number of children growing up in dual language environments is increasing in the United States. Despite the apparent benefits of speaking two languages, children learning English as a second language (ESL) often face struggles, as they may experience poverty and impoverished language input at home. Early exposure to a rich language environment is crucial for ESL children's academic success....

the genus hypericum is one of the most important medicinal plants that contain 17 species in iran, three of them are endemics. this paper reports the essential oil composition of six hypericum species from iran. the essential oil analysis of a number of the studied plants has already been reported but their report from iran may be valuable for scientists.  samples collected between june and aug...

fumigant toxicity of essential oils from foeniculum vulgare (apiaceae), teucrium polium (lamiaceae) and satureja hortensis (lamiaceae) were evaluated against the adults of cowpea seed beetle, callosobruchus maculatus exposed for 24h. essential oils were obtained through steam-distillation using a clevenger-type apparatus. bioassays were conducted at 28±2 °c and 60±5% r.h. in dark conditions. si...

This review describes and motivates six principles for computational cognitive neuroscience models: biological realism, distributed representations, inhibitory competition, bidirectional activation propagation, error-driven task learning, and Hebbian model learning. Although these principles are supported by a number of cognitive, computational and biological motivations, the prototypical neura...

In recent years there has been a growing consensus that ordinary reasoning does not conform to the laws of classical logic but is rather nonmonotonic in the sense that conclusions previously drawn may well be removed upon acquiring further information Even so rational belief formation has up to now been modelled as conforming to some important principles that are classically valid The counterex...
