The locally least-cost error repair scheme, originally proposed by Fischer et al. [5,6], is an error repair scheme which allows the construction of a table-driven or algorithmic error repairing parser with the insertion and deletion cost of the terminal symbols given by the compiler designers. The principal idea governing locally least-cost error repair is that an input symbol at an errordetect...

The genetic structure of two Ralstonia spp., strain JS705 and strain JS745, isolated from the same groundwater aquifer, was characterized with respect to the degradation capacities for toluene and chlorobenzene degradation. Cosmid library construction, cloning, DNA sequencing and mating experiments indicated that the genes for chlorobenzene degradation in strain JS705 were a mosaic of the clc g...

BACKGROUND The cardiovascular responses following the insertion of oropharyngeal airways in anaesthetized patients have been found to be of little consequence. However, those following the insertion of nasopharyngeal airways have not been studied. The aim of this investigation was to compare the cardiovascular responses to the insertion of oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways in anaesthetiz...

Homogeneous simplex splines, also known as cone splines or mul-tivariate truncated power functions, are discussed from a perspective of homogeneous divided diierences and polar forms. This makes it possible to derive the basic properties of these splines in a simple and economic way. In addition, a construction of spaces of homogeneous simplex splines is considered, which in the non-homogeneous...

Fabrication of a complete denture for the post-surgical intraoral carcinoma patient can be difficult because of the severe limitation in the oral opening. The neutral zone concept can be used for such cases. The purpose of this case report is to describe a modified neutral zone impression technique designed to obtain maxillary and mandibular impressions in one stage in preparation for construct...

A competitive neural network model and a genetic algorithm are used to improve the initialization and construction phase of a parallel insertion heuristic for the vehicle routing problem with time windows. The neural network identifies seed customers that are suitably distributed over the entire geographic area during the initialization phase, and the genetic algorithm finds good parameter sett...

In spoken language, parentheticals are marked by a special intonation: -clear breaks before and after; -spoken faster or slower than the main clause; -lower pitch of the voice. The intonation contour of the main clause is continued after the end of the parenthetical. Intuitively it is obvious, what parentheticals are: Expressions, ranging from single words to complex clauses, are built in into ...

We give a new construction of a Hopf algebra defined first by Reading [Rea05] whose bases are indexed by objects belonging to the Baxter combinatorial family (i.e., Baxter permutations, pairs of twin binary trees, etc.). Our construction relies on the definition of the Baxter monoid, analog of the plactic monoid and the sylvester monoid, and on a RobinsonSchensted-like correspondence and insert...

In this paper we describe a “light” algorithm for the on-line construction of a small automaton recognising a finite set of words. The algorithm runs in linear time. We carried out good experimental results on real dictionaries, on biological sequences and on the sets of suffixes (resp. factors) of a set of words that shows how our automaton is near to the minimal one. For the suffixes of a tex...
