We propose extracting information about characters and actions from a self-contained story, such as news reports. This information is stored in structure patterns called situations. We show how these situation patterns can be constructed by unifying the constituents of sentence analysis with knowledge previously stored in Typed Feature Structures. These situations can be in turn used subsequent...

Photographic supra-projection is a complex and uncertain process that aims at identifying a person by overlaying a photograph and a model of the skull found. The more accurate the skull model is the more reliable the identification decision will be. Usually, forensics are obliged to perform a manual and time consuming process in order to obtain the model of the scanned forensic object. At least...

The Bologna Process is the newest of a chain of activities stimulated by supra-national actors since the 1950s to challenge national borders in higher education in Europe. Now, the ministers in charge of higher education of the individual European countries agreed to promote a similar cycle-structure of study programmes and programmes based on the strategic aim to enhance student mobility in tw...

Flow of a blood analog is modeled through a patient-specific aortic coarctation using ANSYS Fluent software. Details of the patient data (aortic geometry and prescribed flow conditions) were provided by the MICCAI-STACOM CFD Challenge website. The objective is to predict a blood pressure difference across the rigid coarctation under both rest and exercise (stress) conditions. The supplied STL g...

The aim of this paper is to introduce the concept of generalized regular closed sets and study some of its properties . The corresponding topological space formed by the family of these sets is also studied. It may be noted that regular closed set doesn’t forms even a supra topological space. Various researchers had studied the concept of generalized closed sets and regular generalized closed s...

This work presents a supra-threshold fiber cluster (STFC) analysis that leverages the whole brain fiber geometry to enhance statistical group difference analysis. The proposed method consists of (1) a study-specific data-driven tractography parcellation to obtain white matter (WM) tract parcels according to the WM anatomy and (2) a nonparametric permutation-based STFC test to identify significa...

Supra-Characteristic-Frequency Response in Gerbil Auditory Nerve Frequency Tuning Curves

Douglas D. Davis and Charles A. Holt March 1998 Introduction Many aspects of antitrust policy are influenced by the possibility that sellers in concentrated markets may have the power to raise prices above competitive levels. Of course, anyone can raise price, so the issue is whether a change in structure, e.g. a merger, will allow one or more sellers to raise price profitably. A price increase...

statement of rights. It is designed to improve the actual state of the world's children in a number of ways. First, the process by which the Convention is ratified in a particular nation, and the discussion, publicity and activity of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) associated with it, creates an atmosphere of increased sensitivity to children's rights and to the needs and public pressure ...

Ventricular arrhythmia (VA) has been successfully ablated from the supra-pulmonary sinus cusps (PSC). However, electrocardiography (ECG) characteristics for VA originating above PSCs and high right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) are not well-elucidated. We aimed to investigate ECG of supra-PSC RVOT. Patients with RVOT-type VAs who also underwent RVOT angiography were included. Three-dimension...
