In a recent paper in this journal, Gong, Mao and Zhang, using the theory of Dirichlet forms, extendedKarlin andMcGregor’s classical results on first-hitting times of a birth–death process on the nonnegative integers by establishing a representation for the Laplace transform E[esTi j ] of the first-hitting time Ti j for any pair of states i and j , as well as asymptotics for E[esTi j ] when eith...

the internet along with many advantages has some disadvantages, and the lack of a complete understanding of cyberspace can cause damage in terms of mate selection method. this article attempts to address some of the disadvantages and threats that virtual spaces create in mate selection method and tries to introduce some strategies to prevent and reduce these emerging injuries. this study was co...

This paper presents bRol, the first fully automatic system to be developed for the parsing of syntactic and semantic dependencies in Basque. The parser has been built according to the settings established for the CoNLL-2009 Shared Task (Hajič et al., 2009), therefore, bRol can be thought of as a standard parser with scores comparable to the ones reported in the shared task. A second-order graph...
