Abstract The attachment of epiphytes on culture equipment and seaweed thalli has proven to be one the factors preventing Eucheuma denticulatum growth. This research aimed clarify epiphyte preference for E. thallus by using vertical nets. Vertical net is a cultivation technology that protects seaweeds from herbivorous pests (fish turtles). was conducted at Tanjung Tiram Coast, areas in Southeast...

This paper presents a massively parallel parser that predicts critical attachment behaviors of the human sentence processor, without the use of explicit preference heuristics or revision strategies. The processing of a syntactic ambiguity is modeled as an active, distributed competition among the potential attachments for a phrase. Computationally motivated constraints on the competitive mechan...

I present evidence in this paper for a universal preference for clause-initial adverbial subordinators (subordinate conjunctions marking subordinate clauses) over clause-final subordinators. The evidence cited is based on a database containing word order characteristics for a crosslinguistic sample of 625 languages (cf. Dryer 1989b, 1991, 1992). This preference is somewhat similar to a preferen...

The problem of determining the correct attachment sites for PPs when parsing natural language is investigated. Semantic information is introduced into the parsing process by grouping lexical items according to the semantic associations given in WordNet V5.1. Data extracted from a partially parsed corpus is tagged with the semantic groupings. The resultant attachment preference patterns displaye...

Sound is a memory carrier in places with rich history and culture, which can invoke place memories images. The purpose of this paper to explore the effect soundscape on attachment different types historical blocks. Six blocks Harbin, China, were selected, questionnaire survey was conducted evaluate soundscape. evaluations harmony, quietness nature significantly higher residential than tourism m...

This study reports results from a sentence completion task and a self-paced reading experiment examining relative clause (RC) attachment preferences in native speakers of Greek. To determine the role of lexical-semantic as well as referential context information for RC attachment, we examined two constructions under different context conditions: RCs preceded by complex noun phrases with genitiv...

Peptides containing the tripeptide sequence Arg-Gly-Asp can duplicate or inhibit the cell attachment-promoting effects of fibronectin and vitronectin. Peptides analogous to a prototype peptide, Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser-Pro-Cys, the sequence of which was taken from the cell attachment site of fibronectin, were assayed for their relative abilities to inhibit the attachment of cells to a fibronectin or...

When porting parsers to a new domain, many of the errors are related to wrong attachment of out-of-vocabulary words. Since there is no available annotated data to learn the attachment preferences of the target domain words, we attack this problem using a model of selectional preferences based on domainspecific word classes. Our method uses Latent Dirichlet Allocations (LDA) to learn a domain-sp...

This study investigates how the parser employs thematic and contextual information in resolving temporary ambiguities during sentence processing. We report results from a sentence-completion task and from a self-paced reading experiment with native speakers of Greek examining two constructions under different referential context conditions: relative clauses (RCs) preceded by complex noun phrase...
