There is a strong tendency among MT researchers to emphasize paradigmatic differences inMT approaches. This often leads to energetic criticism of competing systems, but obscures the fact thatmany techniques developed within a particular paradigm can improve the quality of MT systems in general. In this paper we show how practical MT development must move beyond dogmatic dismissal of differing a...

Management reporting at universities has traditionally been a labour intensive exercise, trying to capture and link unstructured and often duplicate data across a wide range of systems including Finance, Costing, Research repositories, Students and HR. Here we present how Pure enables uniform reporting by linking and refining input from individual researchers or administrative staff with inform...

consider the random walk among n places with n(n - 1)/2 transports. we attach an exponential random variable xij to each transport between places pi and pj and take these random variables mutually independent. if transports are possible or impossible independently with probability p and 1-p, respectively, then we give a lower bound for the distribution function of the smallest path at point log...

sudden fracture is one of the major failure modes in brittle materials. plexiglass (polymethyl methacrylate) is a well known brittle polymer, widely used in various industries. many types of notches, particularly v-shaped notches, are sometimes used in the components made of plexiglass. these notches can dramatically decrease the load bearing capacity of components due to the concentration of s...

this article is an attempt to show that how the meanings of the words “philosophy” and “philosopher” change in plato’s phaedo in comparison with his early socratic dialogues. the phaedo is plato’s interpretation of socrates’ life, philosophy and death, in light of orphic and pythagorean eschatological doctrines. in this interpretation, plato reveals his problem of epistemological pessimism and ...
