The BSMLlib library is a library for Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) programming with the functional language Objective Caml. It is based on an extension of the λ-calculus by parallel operations on a parallel data structure named parallel vector. An attempt to add a parallel composition to this approach led to a non-confluent calculus and to a restricted form of parallel composition. This paper...

We present an infant with right-sided juxtaposition of atrial appendages who had open heart surgery for ventricular septal defect and patent ductus arteriosus. Of 12 cases thus far reported, ventricular d-loop was observed in nine, and normal position of great vessels in four. Contrary to previous views, this condition may not be accompanied by severe conotruncal anomalies.

The mathematical basis of the hypothesis that type-2 topoisomerases recognize and act at specific DNA juxtapositions has been investigated by coarse-grained lattice polymer models, showing that selective segment passages at hooked juxtapositions can result in dramatic reductions in catenane and knot populations. The lattice modeling approach is here extended to account for the narrowing of vari...

The mathematical basis of the hypothesis that type-2 topoisomerases (topo II) recognize and act at specific DNA juxtapositions was investigated by coarse-grained lattice and continuum wormlike chain models, showing that selective segment passages at hooked juxtapositions can result in dramatic reductions in catenane and knot populations. The lattice modeling approach has recently been extended ...

Abstract This paper discusses discourse features such as tail-head linkage and repetition, development devices, associative strategies subordination in oral narrative texts the Koroshi (KoB), Sistani (SiB), Coastal (CoB) dialects of Balochi, all which belong to North-West branch Iranian language family. The frequency with these vary dialect, variation can be attributed different stages orality....

Despite two high profile series of challenges devoted to question answering technologies there remains no formal study into the representativeness that question corpora bear to real end-user inputs. We examine the corpora used presently and historically in the TREC and QALD challenges in juxtaposition with two more from natural sources and identify a degree of disjointedness between the two. We...
