This article describes a semantic parser based on FrameNet semantic roles that uses a broad knowledge base created by interconnecting three major resources: FrameNet, VerbNet and PropBank. We link the above resources through a mapping between Intersective Levin classes, which are part of PropBank’s annotation, and the FrameNet frames. By using Levin classes, we successfully detect FrameNet sema...

The literature on English -er nominals has established that these can be divided into two major subclasses (see Rappaport Hovav & Levin 1992, Fabb 1984, Keyser & Roeper 1984, van Hout & Roeper 1998 to mention a few), the relevant semantic property being whether they refer to an actual event or not. Hence -er nominals vary with respect to the [±event] specification. As has been also widely discu...

The role of IL-18 in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus is still not definitively solved. In this study, we generated MRLlpr mice, which develop a disease resembling systemic lupus erythematosus, genetically devoid of IL-18 expression. These mice in comparison to IL-18-competent MRLlpr mice show reduced signs of renal pathogenesis, while other parameters such as mean survival time...

This work aims at reviewing the present state of the art when it comes to understanding the pathophysiology of narcolepsy and the Kleine-Levin syndrome (KLS) from a neuroimaging point of view. This work also aims at discussing future perspectives of functional neuroimaging in these sleep disorders. We focus on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which is a technique for in vivo measur...

We shall give a lower estimate of harmonic‎ ‎functions of order greater than one in a half space‎, ‎which‎ ‎generalize the result obtained by B‎. ‎Ya‎. ‎Levin in a half plane‎.
