The main new notions are the notions of tangent-like spaces and local monoids. The main result is the passage from a local monoid to its tangent-like space which is a local Leibniz algebra. Based on my belief that Leibniz algebras are too general to establish a fair counterpart of Lie theory in the context of Leibniz algebras, I introduced the notion of a local Leibniz algebra in Section 1.6 of...

This paper aims at exploring the potential of a lay community as post-editors. It focusses on 15 members of an online technology support forum, native speakers of the target language (TL) and some knowledge of the source language (SL) translating content that was machine translated from English into German specific to their own domain. It presents the most predominant errors remaining in the po...

In the questionnaire analysis, how to find a statistically significant difference between two or more groups in a continuous measure is one of the major problems in researches. However, it is difficult for researchers to solve the issue of finding possible statistically significant difference. There are two causes of this issue. The one is that the process of finding the statistically significa...

This paper presents an analysis of imperative formation in Norwegian. The analysis occasions discussion of variation as reranking in OT, as well as providing a novel example of a grammar in which 'null' is the optimal candidate. The Norwegian imperative is in most cases identical to the verb stem (cf. Faarlund, Lie & Vannebo 1997:477). For verbs having the familiar disyllabic structure with a f...

This article addresses the computation of invariant and stabilizing control laws for dual-substrate fed-batch fermentors. The design is based on two commonly used model structures. It will be shown how to derive partial state feedbacks, using only biomass and volume as measures, that keep the substrates at a desired concentration provided the model is good enough and does not change with time. ...

We apply the Padé technique to find rational approximations to h±(q1, q2) = ∞ ∑ k=1 q 1 1± q 2 , 0 < q1, q2 < 1, q1 ∈ Q, q2 = 1/p2, p2 ∈ N \ {1}. A separate section is dedicated to the special case qi = q ri , ri ∈ N, q = 1/p, p ∈ N \ {1}. In this construction we make use of little q-Jacobi polynomials. Our rational approximations are good enough to prove the irrationality of h(q1, q2) and give...

We investigate the possibility to measure the spin content carried by the different quark flavors in a nucleon by means of polarized deep inelastic scattering with W exchange at HERA. Such measurements require a polarized proton beam. The expected inclusive and semi inclusive asymmetries are sizable and for realistic luminosities the expected statistical accuracies are good enough to extract ne...

Current sentiment analysis techniques are good enough when predicting the opinion of a community of individuals over one item, but they may produce wrong or inaccurate results when several possibly correlated items are under consideration. We propose to exploit and adapt formalisms, methods, and tools from knowledge representation and voting theory to generalize sentiment analysis and obtain an...

As an instance of complex networks, Internet has been a hot topic for both complex networks and traditional networks research fields. Internet Traveling Diameter (ITD) is an important property defined in this paper representing the dynamic flow of Internet performance, and was mainly discussed. Short-term forecast model of ITD was firstly studied, then after it was proved that the short-term on...

This paper studies the performance of the clock transfer scheme for burst-mode communication systems for which data are received during short, equally spaced intervals. Its main focus is on satellite-based time-division multiple-access (TDMA) communication systems with data regeneration and switching onboard the satellite, although the results apply to other TDMA systems as well. The system ref...
