Let R be an expansion of a dense linear order (R,<) without endpoints having the intermediate value property, that is, for all a, b ∈ R, every continuous (parametrically) definable function f : [a, b] → R takes on all values in R between f(a) and f(b). Every expansion of the real line (R, <), as well as every o-minimal expansion of (R,<), has the intermediate value property. Conversely, some ni...

For more than a quarter century, the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) laboratory has engaged in a broad range of experiments on consciousness-related physical anomalies and has proposed a corresponding selection of theoretical models that have combined to illuminate the fundamental nature of the provocative phenomena that emerge. Productive pursuit of this topic has inescapably i...

This paper describes the procedure of semantic role labeling and the development of the first manually annotated Persian Proposition Bank (PerPB) which added a layer of predicate-argument information to the syntactic structures of Persian Dependency Treebank (known as PerDT). Through the process of annotating, the annotators could see the syntactic information of all the sentences and so they a...

Using semantic parsing or related techniques, it is possible to extract knowledge from text in the form of predicate–argument structures. Such structures are often called propositions. With the advent of massive corpora such as Wikipedia, it has become possible to apply a systematic analysis of a wide range of documents covering a significant part of human knowledge and build large proposition ...

The California Stem Cell Research and Cures Act, also called Proposition 71 [5], was a ballot initiative proposed by California voters in 2004 to allocate three billion dollars of state funds for stem cell research over ten years. Endorsed by California scientists and patient-advocates, Prop 71 passed on 2 November 2004, amending the state constitution to make stem cell research a constitutiona...

The scheduling problem in manufacturing companies with high rework rates remains a complex research area to date. This paper presents new approach for that combines predictive schedule proactive multicriteria decision-making method based on smart batches and their quality prediction capability. Each batch embeds an algorithm allows it predict its out of the next workstation. As soon as determin...

Summary: Beliefs, social rules, and food taboos influence the emotions we feel about food, determining our attitudes consumption behaviors. The more a product represents values considered important to individuals, greater chance of being chosen for consumption.
