In this paper we extend the XPath data model and query language to include valid time. XPath is a language for specifying locations within an XML document. We extend XPath’s data model by adding to each node a list of disjoint intervals or instants that represents the valid time. The valid time for a node is constrained to be a subset of the valid time for a node’s parent. We extend the XPath q...

the soul in immaterial for descartes, because it’s inherent attribute; i.e. thought is immaterial. moreover, it is independent from body and matter and has no extend. in his view, the soul from the beginning has been immaterial, while mulla-sadra recognizes it as a corporeal object at the beginning, in generation, and immaterial afterward and survivance. mulla-sadra demonstrates that, soul need...

Purpose of this research paper is to identify a person through written handwriting authentication this thesis focuses on the written handwriting authentication. Biometry offers potential for automatic personal verification and differently from other means for personal verification; biometric means are not based on the possession of anything or the knowledge of some information. Of the various b...

Support Vector Machines have shown great potential for learning classification functions that can be applied to object recognition. In this work, we extend SVMs to model the 2D appearance of human faces which undergo nonlinear change across the view sphere. The model enables simultaneous multi-view face detection and pose estimation at

This paper introduces view-augmented abstractions, which specialize an underlying numeric domain to focus on a particular expression or set of expressions. A view-augmented abstraction adds a set of materialized views to the original domain. View augmentation can extend a domain so that it captures information unavailable in the original domain. We show how to use finite differencing to maintai...

Teacher autonomy is viewed very differently: one teacher may view autonomy as a means to gain substantial freedom from interference or supervision; another may view it as the freedom to develop collegial relationships and accomplish tasks that extend beyond the classroom; and even some others may perceive it as a means for principals to avoid their duties (Frase and Sorenson, 1992). Although th...

In recent years, many scholars have chosen to use word lexicons incorporate information into a model based on character input improve the performance of Chinese relation extraction (RE). For example, Li et al. proposed MG-Lattice in 2019 and achieved state-of-the-art (SOTA) results. However, st...
