the euler-lagrange equation plays an important role in the minimization problems of the calculus of variations. this paper employs the differential transformation method (dtm) for finding the solution of the euler-lagrange equation which arise from problems of calculus of variations. dtm provides an analytical solution in the form of an infinite power series with easily computable components. s...

This study employs a knowledge intensive corpus analysis to identify the elements of the communicative context which can be used to determine the appropriate lexical and grammatical form of instructional texts. IMAGENE, an instructional text generation system based on this analysis: is presented, particularly with reference to its expression of precondition relations.

Scientific writing is a general label with a great deal of variation at any period. Empirical evidence of variation within genres of the early periods has been produced by studies of the Helsinki Corpus of English Texts, as they have shown that umbrella categories like ‘religious treatises’ or ‘scientific writing’ contain very heterogeneous texts (Meurman-Solin 1993, Taavitsainen 1993, 1994a). ...

A novel technique is introduced for verb and inflection detection in Persian texts. This recognition can be useful for preprocessing phase in natural language processing (NLP) and text mining like partof-speech (POS) tagging and sentence boundary detection (SBD) in Persian texts. Our technique employs structural information of Persian verb for the first phase of this detection and then uses the...

This paper presents an approach to automated mark up of affective information in texts. The approach considers in parallel two possible representations of emotions: as emotional categories and emotional dimensions. For each representation, a corpus of example texts previously annotated by human evaluators is mined for an initial assignment of emotional features to words. This results in a List ...
