We present a new chart parsing method for Lambek grammars, inspired by a method for DTree grammar parsing. The formulae of a Lambek sequent are firstly converted into rules of an indexed grammar formalism, which are used in an Earley-style predictive chart algorithm. The method is non-polynomial, but performs well for practical purposes much better than previous chart methods for Lambek grammar...

Digital terrestrial panoramic cameras are providing a new device for taking high-resolution images. The produced images have been used widely for purely imaging purposes such as an indoor and landscape imaging, cultural heritage recording, tourism advertising and image-based rendering. Due to the high information content of those images they may also be used as an efficient means for 3Dobject r...

RNA requires helical motion to fold and carry out its function. As RNA helical motion occurs on the nanosecond timescale, the timescale probed by fluorescence dyes, fluorescence polarization anisotropy (FPA) is a simple, yet powerful, technique to study helical dynamics in RNA. With the recent development of several fluorescent base analogs that have a nanosecond timescale lifetime in a duplex,...

We performed dimensional reduction of Alt’s three-dimensional cell balance equations to one-dimensional Segel’s equations for an axisymmetrical case. The tumbling frequency of motile bacteria was assumed to switch between two different phases according to the sign of the perceived chemical gradients. Chemotactic bacteria responded to positive attractant gradients by suppressing the tumbling fre...

Abstract: In this paper, the economic design of MSE control chart is extended to the multivariate case. The important feature of this control chart is that it uses the target value instead of the process mean. According to Taguchi's viewpoint, any deviation from the target value represents a kind of loss. Therefore, we construct the model of economic design by considering not only the control c...

We theoretically investigate the effect of random fluctuations on motion elongated microswimmers near hydrodynamic transport barriers in externally-driven fluid flows. Focusing two-dimensional hyperbolic flow, we consider effects translational and rotational diffusion as well tumbling, i.e. sudden jumps swimmer orientation. Regardless whether or tumbling are primary source fluctuations, find th...

After application of a step stimulus, in the form sudden change attractant environment, receptor activity and tumbling bias an {\sl E. coli} cell sharply to reach their extremal values before they gradually relax post-stimulus adapted levels long time limit. We perform numerical simulations exact calculations investigate short response cell. For both bias, we exactly derive condition for find g...

In this paper, we present a state-machine based workflow system, named FlexFlow, which formally describes business processes with state charts. The FlexFlow system uses these descriptions to directly control the execution of the applications. We give a description of the FlexFlow process model and the underlying FlexFlow engine, and explain how FlexFlow can be used in commercial platforms for B...

This is a first-person narrative of a dentist's slow slide into alcohol and drug abuse, his denial in the face of a professional intervention, and his eventual acceptance of personal responsibility and recovery. There is also a discussion of the dentist diversion program in Minnesota.
