different languages are classified in different types according to different elliptical positions in coordinate sentences. in the following, i shall briefly outline this typology and then show the status of persian in this hierarchy. moreover, i will demonstrate that two functional factors; ease of processing and temporal order, are in competition to specify the elliptical positions in these se...

Humans have the ability to flexibly synchronize motor output with sensory input, such as when dancing, performing, walking in step with a partner, or just tapping a foot along with music. The study of these behaviors, collectively called sensory-motor synchronization (SMS) offers an important window into human timing behavior and the neural mechanisms that support it. The study of SMS also prov...

Among multi-access communications techniques, CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) is interference-limited. Conventional single-user receivers su er from the nearfar problem in CDMA cellular communications systems. One method to suppress multi-access interference is digital beamforming by using base-station antenna arrays. However, using beamforming alone cannot solve the near-far problem. Verd...

In this chapter we provide an overview of the main techniques for processing qualitative temporal constraints. We survey a collection of algorithms for solving fundamental reasoning problems in the context of Allen’s Interval Algebra, Vilain and Kautz’s Point Algebra, and of other tractable and intractable classes of temporal relations. These problems include determining the satisfiability of a...

This paper describes new algorithms for processing quantitative and qualitative Temporal Constraint Satisfaction Problems (TCSP). In contrast to discrete Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP), enforcing path-consistency on quantitative TCSP is exponential, due to the fragmentation problem. Identifying the fragmentation problem allows us to design several e cient polynomial algorithms that are ...

In this article the methodology proposed by Li and Wang for mixed qualitative and quantitative modeling and simulation of temporal behavior of processing unit is reexamined and extended to more complex case. The main issue of their approach considers the multivariate statistics of principal component analysis (PCA), along with clustered fuzzy digraphs and reasoning. The PCA and fuz...
