Abstract Prior to widespread contact with Russian, Khanty (Uralic; Finno-Ugric) did not have overt conjunctions or phrasal coordination. Instead, texts from the late 19th–early 20th centuries only include examples of conjunction-less clausal juxtaposition, which was used for both and By comparing over century, we trace emergence coordination constituents. We show that first appeared in context ...

This paper investigates a dynamic path-based method for constructing conjunctions as new attributes for decision tree learning. It searches for conditions (attribute-value pairs) from paths to form new attributes. Compared with other hypothesis-driven new attribute construction methods, the new idea of this method is that it carries out systematic search with pruning over each path of a tree to...

Primal infon logic was proposed by Gurevich and Neeman as an efficient yet expressive logic for policy and trust management. It is a propositional multimodal subintuitionistic logic decidable in linear time. However in that logic the principle of the replacement of equivalents fails. For example, (x ∧ y) → z does not entail (y ∧ x) → z, and similarly w → ((x ∧ y) ∧ z) does not entail w → (x ∧ (...

Linguistics and stylistics have been investigated for author identification for quite a while, but recently, we have testified a impressive growth in the volume with which lawyers and courts have called upon the expertise of linguists in cases of disputed authorship. This motivates computer science researchers to look to the problem of author identification from a different perspective. In this...

Rolling element bearings are required to operate in a variety of use cases that determine voltage potentials will form between the rolling elements and races. When electrical field strength causes dielectric breakdown intermediary lubricant film discharge can damage bearing surfaces. To reduce prevalence severity machining an improved understanding coupled mechanical behavior is necessary. This...

This work addressed five issues: a) Does caffeine modulate electroencephalogram (EEG) background activity in a manner consistent with the idea of cortical "arousal"? b) Is performance in a simple speeded task improved under caffeine? c) Is visual processing more selective under caffeine? d) Does caffeine affect sensory discrimination? and e) Does it affect motor processes? We presented 16 subje...

This study sought to obtain additional evidence that transient auditory memory stores information about conjunctions of features on an automatic basis. The mismatch negativity of event-related potentials was employed because its operations are based on information that is stored in transient auditory memory. The mismatch negativity was found to be elicited by a tone that differed from standard ...

Reasoning, solving mathematical equations, or planning written and spoken sentences all must factor in stimuli perceptual properties. Indeed, thinking processes are inspired by and subsequently fitted to concrete objects and situations. It is therefore reasonable to expect that the mental representations evoked when people solve these seemingly abstract tasks should interact with the properties...

Abstract This study compared the linguistic difficulty of legal translated texts with syntactic complexity native English writings in order to demonstrate statistically significant differences between two big datasets. The applies features sentences within text translations that are less complicated than their original counterparts. It provides an example how easy plain translation communicatio...
