The "rst editor of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), James Murray, delighted to tell the story of a dream in which he had overheard his great lexicographical predecessor, Samuel Johnson, in conversation with James Boswell, his biographer: &Johnson was speaking of his Dictionary and Boswell, in an impish mood asked, `What would you say, Sir, if you were told that in a hundred years' time a bi...

In this article we perform an asymptotic analysis of Bayesian parallel kernel density estimators introduced by Neiswanger, Wang and Xing [19]. We derive the asymptotic expansion of the mean integrated squared error for the full data posterior estimator and investigate the properties of asymptotically optimal bandwidth parameters. Our analysis demonstrates that partitioning data into subsets req...

Building physics-based models of complex physical systems like buildings and chemical plants is extremely cost and time prohibitive for applications such as real-time optimal control, production planning and supply chain logistics. Machine learning algorithms can reduce this cost and time complexity, and are, consequently, more scalable for large-scale physical systems. However, there are many ...

information on the productivity, costs and applications of the logging system is a key component in the evaluation of management plans for the rehabilitation and utilization of caspian forests. skidding and road construction costs are expensive forest operations. determining the optimum forest road network density is one of the most important factors in sustainable forest management. logging me...

Abstract This study presents a method for identifying words that appear in corpus data earlier than their first date of attestation dictionaries. We demonstrate the application this based on large diachronic corpus, TV Corpus, and Oxford English Dictionary (OED). Combining automatic extraction candidate terms from Corpus with comprehensive manual analysis verification, identifies 32 were used s...

Information on the productivity, costs and applications of the logging system is a key component in the evaluation of management plans for the rehabilitation and utilization of Caspian forests. Skidding and road construction costs are expensive forest operations. Determining the optimum forest road network density is one of the most important factors in sustainable forest management.

Organic electronic devices (OEDs) are prone to oxygen‐ and water‐induced degradation therefore need be encapsulated with barrier materials. In this work, an aerosol jet (AJ)‐printing process is developed coat perhydropolysilazane (PHPS) directly onto OEDs by adapting the print setup systematically optimizing parameters. Furthermore, a novel curing that converts PHPS silica layers combining damp...

We investigate the trade-off between the risk-sharing gains enjoyed by more interconnected firms and the costs resulting from an increased risk exposure. We find that when the shock distribution displays “fat” tails, extreme segmentation into small components is optimal, while minimal segmentation and high density of connections are optimal when the distribution exhibits “thin” tails. For less ...
