This paper uses the Minimum Description Length paradigm to model the complexity of CxGs (operationalized as the encoding size of a grammar) alongside their descriptive adequacy (operationalized as the encoding size of a corpus given a grammar). These two quantities are combined to measure the quality of potential CxGs against unannotated corpora, supporting discovery-device CxGs for English, Sp...

The rare condition known variously as multiple congenital articular rigidity, arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and amyoplasia congenita has been made known in this country mainly by the work of W. Sheldon9, who introduced the name used in this paper. A further title has been applied by D. S. Middleton', who uses the term myodystrophia foetalis deformans, as being more accurately descriptive o...

the imagination among iranian and western sages and philosophers, is the most basic and most complex issues of the universe. the research question is whether the imagination is considered the main essence of the aesthetic style of farshchian? and if so, what was the kind of imagination or the artist’s approach to this element? in this paper, for the first time, it is attempted to critically exa...

in this paper, a new method is introduced for improving the efficiency of the residue number system, which uses both binary and residue representations in order to represent a number. a residue number system uses the remainder of the division in several different modules. conversion of a number to smaller ones and carrying out parallel calculations on these numbers greatly increase the speed of...

Depression is a very common mood disorder, resulting in a loss of social function, reduced quality of life and increased mortality. Music interventions have been shown to be a potential alternative for depression therapy but the number of up-to-date research literature is quite limited. We present a review of original research trials which utilize music or music therapy as intervention to treat...

This paper uses unique data from the state of Connecticut to examine discounting patterns in the state’s hospital industry for the years following deregulation (1995-1998). The data provide a rare opportunity to study payer-level differences in negotiated discounts for hospital services. In addition to presenting descriptive evidence on how discounts vary across payers, payer types, and hospita...

piezoelectric actuators are widely used in micro manipulation applications. however hysteresis nonlinearity limits accuracy of these actuators. this paper presents a novel approach utilizing a piezoelectric nano-stage as slave manipulator of a teleoperation system. the prandtl-ishlinskii (pi) model is used to model actuator hysteresis in feedforward scheme to cancel out this nonlinearity. a pas...

We construct a minimal rK-degree, continuum many, in fact. We also show that every minimal sequence, that is, a sequence with minimal rK-degree, must have very low descriptional complexity, that every minimal sequence is rK-reducible to a random sequence, and that there is a random sequence with no minimal sequence rK-reducible to it.
