This article presents the task of automatic detection of proverbs in Brazilian Portuguese, from the intersection of the regular syntactic structure of proverbs and their core elements. We created finite-state automata that enabled us to look for these word combinations in running texts. The rationale behind this method consists in the fact that although proverbs may have a normal sentence struc...

This is a report of research project about developing musical instruments for interactive computer music. The project's name "GHI project" means that "It might be interesting that musical instrument shines, isn't it?" in Japanese. I examined the essences of instruments in my composition again on proverb "Taking a lesson from the past." First of all, I examined the relation between the performer...

We will try to give an overview of one of the landmark results of Jorge Lewowicz: his classification of expansive homeomorphisms of surfaces. The goal will be to present the main ideas with the hope of giving evidence of the deep and beautiful contributions he made to dynamical systems. We will avoid being technical and try to concentrate on the tools introduced by Lewowicz to obtain these clas...

We introduce a model of menu choice in which a person’s psychological tastes and revealed preferences may be distinct. The former is modeled by means of a possibly incomplete (but otherwise rational) preference relation <, and the latter by a completion <∗ of that relation. The two relations are connected through an axiom which formalizes the following intuitive rule: “Whenever in doubt about w...

This paper outlines the microplanner of PROVERB, a system that generates multilingual text from machine-found mathematical proofs. The main representational vehicle is the text structure proposed by Meteer. Following Panaget, we also distinguish between the ideational and the textual semantic categories, and use the upper model to replace the former. Based on this, a further extension is made t...

The term data is new oil which has become a proverb due to large amount of data generation from various sources. Processing and storing such tremendous amount of data is beyond the capabilities of traditional computing system. Cloud computing preferably considered next-generation architecture due to dynamic resource pools, low cost, reliability, virtualization, and high availability. In cloud c...

The training of clinical psychologists in general, and clinical child and pediatric psychologists in particular, has received significant commentary and evaluation in recent years (e.g., Cherry, Messenger, & Jacoby, 2000; Freedheim & Overholser, 1997; Kenny & Chmielewski, 1996; Roberts et al., 1998). Consistent with the biblical proverb of “iron sharpening iron,” the field of pediatric psycholo...

The last decade has shown tremendous growth data production from different sectors, e.g., biology, financial markets, scientific computing, business processes, Internet of Things. The “Data is New Oil” has become a proverb in academic and corporate circles. Accordingly, tracing, recording origin and deriving data called data provenance has gained tremendous traction across board. Privacy and se...

An old proverb states "necessity is the mother of invention." This certainly holds true in science as one pursues research questions. Experimental techniques have evolved as scientists have asked more specific research questions. Indeed, techniques such as the Ussing chamber, the perfused renal tubule preparation, patch-clamp, polymerase chain reaction, and site-directed mutagenesis have been d...

The proverb “a change is as good as a rest” expresses one of the main advantages of job rotation. In this article, we examine ways to set-up effective job rotation schedules that balance ergonomic risks among workers in mixed-model assembly lines. We show that the problem is NP-hard in the strong sense. Therefore, the development of specialized solution methods is important. Exploiting the prob...
