The communication structure of parallel communicating grammar systems (PCGS) considered as the descriptional complexity of PCGS is investigated here. The aim of the paper is to compare computational power of PCGS’s with respect to their communication structure. Investigating the generation of the languages over one-letter alphabet the communication structures dags(directed acyclic graphs) and c...

We prove that the set of properties describable by a uniform sequence of rst-order sentences using at most k + 1 distinct variables is exactly equal to the set of properties checkable by a Turing machine in DSPACEn k ] (where n is the size of the universe). This set is also equal to the set of properties describable using an iterative deenition for a nite set of relations of arity k. This is a ...

The present study compares subjects with varying degrees of product expertise with regards to their ability to provide a sensory profile of beverages. Eight premium beers were evaluated by three different panels using a Napping® test, followed by a descriptive task. Two panels were constituted of consumers, classified according to their self-assessed product expertise into “Novices” (N = 14) an...

XML and Web Services technologies have revolutionized the way data are exchanged on the Internet. Meanwhile, Spatial OLAP (SOLAP) tools have emerged to bridge the gap between the Business Intelligence and Geographic Information Systems domains. While Web Services specifications such as XML for Analysis enable the use of OLAP tools in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) environments, no solution...
