Anaphora and resumption, phenomena which intuitively seem to challenge resource sensitivity, have been argued to support its role in Glue. The resource deletion treatment of resumption in LFG Glue presented by Asudeh (2004) was designed to work together with the Glue resource duplication treatment of anaphora (Dalrymple et al., 1999). However, as ‘resumptive pronouns’ are mere pronouns, the cho...

The concept of coupling geographically distributed (high-end) resources for solving large-scale problems is becoming increasingly popular, forming what is popularly called grid computing. The management of resources in the grid environment becomes complex as they are (geographically) distributed, heterogeneous in nature, owned by different individuals/organizations each having their own resourc...

A Grid system is comprised of large sets of heterogeneous and geographically distributed resources that are aggregated as a virtual computing platform for executing large-scale scientific applications. As the number of resources in Grids increases rapidly, selecting appropriate resources for jobs has become a crucial issue. To avoid single point of failure and server overload problems, bidding ...

Efficient resource allocation is an important aspect in overall distributed system performance and especially in the provisioning of QoS guarantees. In order to achieve efficient resource allocation an accurate, efficient and timely resource description mechanism is required. This report presents the Resource Description Graph (RDG) as a means of encoding resource descriptions in a directed acy...

We have developed an information repository named SpliceInfo to collect the occurrences of the four major alternative-splicing (AS) modes in human genome; these include exon skipping, 5'-alternative splicing, 3'-alternative splicing and intron retention. The dataset is derived by comparing the nucleotide and protein sequences available for a given gene for evidence of AS. Additional features su...

Development of alternative livelihoods has become a popular policy to uplift the socioeconomic status of small-scale fishers and to reduce fishing pressure on overexploited fisheries. Seaweed farming has been incorporated into many community-based coastal resources management projects and fisheries management initiatives as an alternative livelihood option for fishers in tropical developing cou...

Osteogenic sarcoma management is a challenge for the cancer community globally. Not much awareness or information about the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), more specifically treatment with ultra-dilute medicines, is available for such cases. Our experience in this will show that treatment of this dreaded disease with ultra-dilute medicines can be considered as a possible op...
