Processing syntactically ill-formed language is an important mission of the EPISTLE system, lll-formed input is treated by this system in various ways. Misspellings are highlighted by a standard spelling checker; syntactic errors are detected and corrections are suggested; and stylistic infelicities are called to the user's attention. Central to the EPISTLE processing strategy is its technique ...

This article reports the results of an industry-level study that seeks to identify empirical regularities between firm strategy, management style, organisational structure and performance in the Spanish fresh fruit and vegetable (fresh produce) industry using strategic group analysis. Groups were formed from key dimensions reflecting firms’ strategic orientations. Performance levels did not dif...

Abstract We present evidence, via a large survey of 191 new spectra along with previously published spectra, divide in the 3 μ m spectral properties low-albedo asteroid population. One group (“sharp types,” or STs, band centers <3 m) has shape consistent carbonaceous chondrite meteorites, while other (“not sharp NSTs, bands centered >3 is not represented meteorite literature but as abunda...

     It has been proposed that organic nitrates such as glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, act by producing nitric oxide (NO). However, the biochemical pathway for NO formation from GTN is not well understood. In the present study, we showed that nitrate formation from GTN, by isolated rat hepatocytes, was inhibited about 50% when cellular glutathione w...

We present BRAINSUP, an extensible framework for the generation of creative sentences in which users are able to force several words to appear in the sentences and to control the generation process across several semantic dimensions, namely emotions, colors, domain relatedness and phonetic properties. We evaluate its performance on a creative sentence generation task, showing its capability of ...

It is well known that for each l-term there is a corresponding combinatory term formed using the combinators K and S instead of the I-operator. Similarly for every combinatory term there is a i.-term. For weaker sets of combinators such as B, C and K or B, B’, I and W we show how such a correspondence or “translation” can be formulated and we determine in the case of several such sets of combin...

Architectural styles represent composition patterns and constraints at the software architectural level and are targeted at families of systems with shared characteristics. While both style-specific and style-neutral modeling environments for software architectures exist, creation of such environments is expensive and frequently involves reinventing the wheel. This paper describes the rapid des...

This article explores the possibility that romantic love is an attachment process--a biosocial process by which affectional bonds are formed between adult lovers, just as affectional bonds are formed earlier in life between human infants and their parents. Key components of attachment theory, developed by Bowlby, Ainsworth, and others to explain the development of affectional bonds in infancy, ...
