It’s commonly recognized that Avant-garde creativity begins with almost complete negation and deconstruction of previous cultural background. But examination architects’ creative work shows such an act is preceded by their deep study architectural history form creation derivation own sets universal forms assemblage methods. The purpose essay to reconstruct the process architect reveal inclusion...

Despite the popularity of stochastic parsers, symbolic parsing still has some advantages, but is not practical without an effective mechanism for selecting among alternative analyses. This paper describes the symbolic preference system of a hybrid parser that combines a shallow parser with an overlay parser that builds on the chunks. The hybrid currently equals or exceeds most stochastic parser...

A strictly stationary sequence of random variables is constructed with the following properties: (i) the random variables take the values −1 and +1 with probability 1/2 each, (ii) every five of the random variables are independent of each other, (iii) the sequence is “causal” in a certain sense, (iv) the sequence has a trivial double tail σ-field, and (v) regardless of the normalization used, t...

The constraint hypersurfaces defining the Witten and Ashtekar formulations for 2+1 gravity are very different. In particular the constraint hypersurface in the Ashtekar case is not a manifold but consists of several sectors that intersect each other in a complicated way. The issue of how to define a consistent dynamics in such a situation is then rather non-trivial. We discuss this point by wor...

vermiculture is the culture of earthworms. the goal is to continually increase the number of worms in order to obtain a sustainable harvest. the worms are either used to expand a vermicomposting operation or sold to customers who use them for the same or other purposes. vermicomposting is the process by which worms are used to convert organic materials (usually wastes) into a humus-like materia...
