Functional languages are renowned for their mathematical tractability, clarity of expression, abstraction powers, and more. There are problem domains, however, that still present real challenges to functional languages. One notoriously difficult problem domain is graph algorithms. Graph algorithms have been studied for a long time with conventional von Neumann languages. The emphasis has primar...

Abstract   Fiber-metal laminates (FMLs) are new type of composite materials which could improve defects of traditional composites in ductility, formability, impact and damage tolerance. Drawing behavior of a thermoplastic based FML was investigated consisting of glass-fiber reinforced polypropylene composite laminate and aluminum AA1200-O as the core and skin layers, respectively. The effects o...

We present the Vancouver Event and Relation System for Extraction (VERSE)1 as a competing system for three subtasks of the BioNLP Shared Task 2016. VERSE performs full event extraction including entity, relation and modification extraction using a feature-based approach. It achieved the highest F1-score in the Bacteria Biotope (BB3) event subtask and the third highest F1-score in the Seed Devel...

This article discusses the poem "Sajak Pertemuan Mahasiswa" by W.S. Rendra. The discussion of this is motivated efforts and to apply concept poetry structure put forward Lévi-Strauss. description aims display consisting outer (surface structure) inner (deep structure). structures that will be discussed are forms text, diction, sound, while imagery, compounds, themes. method used in study descri...

this study seeks to describe and discuss a hemistich, namely ‘‘yours the earth, mine the vulture’s feather’’, of the story of rostam and sohrab in ferdowsi's shahnameh. many commentators and interpreters of the shahnameh have different opinions on the concept and meaning of this hemistich. this has led the researchers to seek the reason of such differences, clues for the provided meanings,...

This essay considers some problems in philosophical approaches to poetry. Philosophers’ accounts of what poetry is are often ill informed. They tend to select, as essential, features that can also characterize prose works: conspicuous metaphoricity, imagination, fictionality, and so on. This essay considers instead a humbler term: verse. It argues that the constraints on language implied by com...

Finite element simulation of stretch flanging process was carried out in order to investigate the effect of process parameters on maximum thinning (%) in stretch flanging process. Influences of initial flange length, punch die clearance, width of sheet metal blank and blank holding force were investigated on maximum thinning (%). Finite element simulation was done using FEM software package ABA...
