The development of Human Language Technology (HLT) is one of the important by-products of the information revolution. However, the level of knowledge and skills in HLT for African languages remain unfortunately low as most scholars continue to work within the frameworks of knowledge production for an industrial society while the information age dawns. This paper reports the work of African Lang...

OBJECTIVES To investigate a possible lasting impact of dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane (DDT) exposure in neonatal life on mental capacities in later life. MATERIAL AND METHODS Relationships were evaluated by correlation and regression analysis between total DDT concentrations in human breast milk in the years of birth (1984/1985) and measurements of mental capacities obtained in pupils of th...

Analysis of human thymocytes with monoclonal antibodies belonging to five distinct clusters of differentiation (CD1, CD3-CD5, CD8) revealed a high degree of phenotypic heterogeneity. Six subpopulations could be defined in the thymic compartment characterized by the presence of CD1 antigens (cortical type); four subpopulations could be defined in the compartment characterized by the lack of CD1 ...

is not conducive to the discovery of natural kinds of cognitive capacities. The “neurosciences of cognition” include cognitive neuroscience and cognitive neurobiology, two research areas that aim to understand how the brain gives rise to cognition and behavior. Some philosophers of neuroscience have claimed that explanatory progress in these research areas ultimately will result in the discover...

We determine the asymptotics of the largest family of qualitatively 2{independent k{ partitions of an n{set, for every k > 2. We generalize a Sperner-type theorem for 2{partite sets of KK orner and Simonyi to the k{partite case. Both results have the feature that the corresponding trivial information-theoretic upper bound is tight. The results follow from a more general Sperner capacity theorem...

This paper outlines a positive naturalistic account of the emergence of norms, intentionality and intelligence from the evolutionary elaboration of organisational capacities which are fundamental to biological life forms. Correlatively, it provides a critique of the currently dominant selectionist teleosemantic account of these features. According to the account given here, elementary adaptive ...
