The QCD dipole picture allows to build an unified theoretical description -based on BFKL dynamicsof the total and diffractive nucleon structure functions. We use a four parameter fit to describe the 1994 H1 proton structure function F2 data in the low x, moderate Q2 range. Without any additional parameter, the gluon density and the longitudinal structure functions are predicted. The diffractive...

Data integration consists in providing a uniform access to a set of heterogeneous sources through a common representation called global schema. In this paper we present DIS@DIS, a data integration system that adopts innovative techniques for query answering in a complex integration environment. In particular, DIS@DIS is able to deal with integrity constraints, which are used to enhance the expr...

The Luigi Cattaneo Museum of anatomical waxes, part of the University of Bologna, among its most interesting teratological specimens, exhibits a peculiar model named ‘Opoectodimo’ (literally opoectodymus in English or Latin), showing a particular case of conjoined twins. As shown by the wax model (Figure 1) as well as by the correspondent natural skeleton, the two bodies are fused at the cephal...

Bu makalede, fiilden isim yapan -(X)ŋ yapım ekinin Eski Türkçeden Çağdaş Uygurcaya gelen süreçteki kullanımı örneklerle incelenecektir. ekine yazıtlarda rastlanmazken Uygurca metinlerden itibaren bu ek görülmeye başlar. Yine de dönemde tespit edilen kullanımların çoğu tek örnekli (hapax legomenon) veya az rastlanan sözcüklerdir. Dolayısıyla nadir eklerden sayılır. Uygurcada başta gramer kitapla...

How do native speakers interpret new words when they read or hear them? How much help and what kind of help are they given by the immediate context in which the new word occurs? These are questions which we set out to investigate on the basis of a large corpus of newspaper English. We were working within the framework of the APRIL project, which is a three year, EPSRC-funded research project ai...

Zipf's law is the major regularity of statistical linguistics that has served as a prototype for rank-frequency relations and scaling laws in natural sciences. Here we show that Zipf's law-together with its applicability for a single text and its generalizations to high and low frequencies including hapax legomena-can be derived from assuming that the words are drawn into the text with random p...
