We report on experience with an investigation of the analytic structure of the solution of certain algebraic complex equations. In particular the behavior of their series expansions around the origin is discussed. The investigation imposes the need for an analysis of the singularities and the Riemann sheets of the solution, in which numerical methods are used. [email protected] [email protected]

This thesis presents a three part methodology for analyzing the flow of taxable income in large partnership structures. The method forms the basis for prototypical software which would clarify many complicated basis adjustment issues associated with partnership taxation. Partnerships, the most common form of “flow-through” tax entities, have rapidly increased in size, complexity and economic re...

This paper deals with the processing of a multilingual corpus of technical texts. The aim is to extract special purpose terminology. A semi-automatic tool is developed to help professional translators and terminologists not only to identify technical terms but also to detect possible translation equivalences and typical contexts of terms. Definitions of terminology reported in the literature ar...

Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) schemes have presented good results in aiding the early diagnosis of breast cancer. The detected signals classification demands multi-works investigations, since cytological characteristics concerning the mammographic findings have to be investigated in addition to computer techniques. Artificial neural networks (ANN) have been successfully used in CAD classifiers...

The engineering design process evolves products by a collaborative synthesis of specifications, personnel and organizations. Unfortunately, collaborative effectiveness is thwarted by existing single-user computer-aided applications like computer-aided design, computer-aided analysis, and others. These applications and associated file management systems assign editing rights to one technical per...
