to investigate the electromagnetic interaction of molecules inside the nanotubes, first, the structure of nanotubes b16n16 was optimized with hybrid density functional theory (b3lyp) using the epr-ii basis set, then cu, cu+, cu++ were located in nanotube and we studied the total energy, band gap energy, electrical potential, changes of band gap energy in terms of total energy and dipole moment ...

Discourse Functions in LFG • One school of thought integrates discourse functions such as topic and focus with the grammatical functions at the same level of representation (e.g., Bresnan 2001). • Another school of thought seeks to represent them at an independent level (e.g., King 1997), modeling the interactions in a more complex way. This talk follows the latter position (King 1997) and furt...

The functional approach of the Technological Innovation System (TIS) has become important in innovation theory to understand the dynamics of technological innovations. Until now, TIS has mainly been applied topdown from a policy perspective. The aim of this study was to investigate whether TIS can be used in the management domain, from an actororiented perspective, to explain the dynamics in wh...

We present a novel semi-supervised multimodal relevance vector regression (SM-RVR) method for predicting clinical scores of neurological diseases from multimodal brain images, to help evaluate pathological stage and predict future progression of diseases, e.g., Alzheimer’s diseases (AD). Different from most existing methods, we predict clinical scores from multimodal (imaging and biological) bi...

Interactions between neuronal assemblies form a basis for the mechanism of functional integration that underlies most of our actions. Studying these interactions is important for understanding the principles of brain operation. However, such neuronal communications are hallmark of a living brain and therefore it is of paramount importance to develop tools for imaging of these interactions on th...

This paper provides an explicit, formal analysis of two not only interesting but also frequent coordination phenomena: the coordination of unlike categories and the coordination of distinct grammatical functions possibly belonging to entirely different levels of structure. The proposed account of the former makes it possible to take full advantage of new generation valence dictionaries which en...

Arguing against the claim that every dispositional property is grounded in some property other than itself, Stephen Mumford presents what he calls the ‘Ungrounded Argument’. If successful, the Ungrounded Argument would represent a major victory for anti-Humean metaphysics against its Humean rivals, as it would allow for the existence of primitive modality. Unfortunately, Humeans need not yet be...
