We propose the semantic proto-role linking model, which jointly induces both predicate-specific semantic roles and predicate-general semantic proto-roles based on semantic proto-role property likelihood judgments. We use this model to empirically evaluate Dowty’s thematic proto-role linking theory.

background: the herpes simplex virus (hsv) ul41 gene product, virion host shutoff (vhs) protein, mediates the rapid degradation of both viral and cellular mrna. this ability suggests that vhs protein can be used as a suicide gene in cancer gene therapy applications. the recent reports have shown that the degradation of cellular mrna during herpes simplex infection is selective. rna containing a...

the effect of mentha spicata l. extract on the corrosion behaviour of carbon steel in 1.0 m hcl solution was investigated using polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) and electrochemical noise (en) techniques. the solution containing 250 ppm of the ethanolic solution of extract showed the highest inhibition efficiency (ie). the effect of temperature on the rate of corrosion ...

The effects of the tool tip radius on debarking quality unfrozen and frozen black spruce logs were studied. power, energy consumption torque conditions also A proto-type one-arm ring debarker was used. experiment consisted using three radii (40, 180, 300 µm) for each temperature (-20°C +20°C). rotational feed speeds, overlap, rake angle kept constants. Debarking evaluated by two criteria: propo...

In order to survey the evolutionary history and impact of historical events on the genetic structure of Iranian people, the HV2 region of 141 mtDNA sequences related to six Iranian populations were analyzed. Slight and non-significant FST distances among the Central-western Persian speaking populations of Iran testify to the common origin of these populations from one proto-population. Mismatch...
