| We introduce CHALLENGER 2, a demonstrative project in the eld of concurrent Natural Language Pro-cessing/Machine Translation. This paper gives an overview on the purposed goal for this project, the linguistic model involved , its computational support and current state of work. An interpreter and a compiler written in DFKI Oz for DFL { a very expressive (kernel) language for HPSGs implementat...

This article demonstrates how the genetic algorithm (GA) approach can efficiently be used to the penalty function based fuzzy goal programming (FGP) formulation for modelling and solving academic resource planning problems in University management system. A demonstrative case example of the University of Kalyani, West Bengal (W.B), India is considered to expound the potential use of the approac...

This paper illustrates through distillation examples how the bounded Newton homotopy method considerably extends the area of convergence compared with the unbounded one. Sidestream column configurations with exact mole fraction specifications are used as demonstrative test cases. Starting point multiplicity is found to be a real challenge when solving distillation problems with Newton homotopy-...

Chat tools are nowadays an integral part of many collaborative e-learning environments. However, standard chat tools suffer from important coordination and coherence deficiencies. In this paper we propose an open source generic framework for building malleable structured chat applications. Users can strengthen or relax constraints when they want during a chat session. The paper shows some demon...

We describe a time-resolved method for measuring nonlinear ultrasonic phenomena. Current approaches rely on a narrowband measurement of harmonic generation to identify and characterize nonlinearity. Concomitant with these techniques is poor time resolution. We address this limitation with a hybrid narrowband/broadband approach that provides simultaneous time resolution and harmonic isolation fo...

.INTESTINAL concretions have rarely fallen under the observation of medical practitioners. Cases, however, demonstrative of their existence, and accompanied by correct descriptions of their external characters, and of the phaenomena which signalized their presence in the intestinal tube, are scattered in the records of pathological research. To this number an account of the present specimen is ...

Neutron scattering techniques, such as neutron diffraction, small angle neutron scattering and neutron reflectometry consist very powerful tools for the non-destructive study of materials. At the Greek Research Reactor, GRR-1, a number of neutron scattering methods are employed and developed. In the present contribution, a short description of the methods and facilities is given, as well as som...

corresponding to the division of the scientific knowledge to demonstrable and indemonstrable knowledge in aristotle’s philosophy, the concept of nous has two interwoven senses. besides nous as the demonstrable scientific knowledge, it is also regarded as the hexis of the soul. there are three specific functions of this latter sense: i) acquiring principles on which the scientific knowledge is b...

Abstract There are numerous words across languages expressing similarity or indistinguishability. In this paper, three types of expressions in German and English compared— ähnlich / similar , so/such gleich same . They differ a number respects, one them being gradability: While ähnlich/similar gradable, as well gleich/same not. The analysis paper starts from the so demonstrative (instead identi...
