Representation is a cross-discipline topic that includes knowledge representation from the field of artificial intelligence, meaning representation from the field of natural language understanding, and structured information from information processing. The field of logic is replete with methods for representation and reasoning. In the areas of AI knowledge representation and reasoning, leading...

This study examined the relationships between defenses and depressive experiences. Two questionnaires, in counterbalanced order, were administered to a community sample of 205 adults: the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (DEQ; S. Blatt, J. D’Afflitti, & D. Quinlan 1976, 1979) and the Defense Mechanisms Inventory (DMI; D. Ihilevich & G. C. Gleser, 1986). Although turning against self related...

Using a linearization formalism in the framework of dependency grammars, this article proposes a simple analysis of new data on word order constraints in Korean ko construction composed of three verbs V3-ko V2 V1. It will be shown that V3-ko rejoins the verb cluster in the case of extraction of its nominal dependent, while V3-ko forms an independent constituent with its dependent in the case wh...

Two competing views of island constraints have emerged in recent work. In one, which we will call the accumulation view, islands result from the accumulation of several independently documented processing difficulties, such as the presence of a filler-gap dependency and an especially complex syntactic structure (cf. Kluender (1998, 2004), Hofmeister and Sag (2010)). In a sentence with an island...

How is what an agent ought to do related to what an agent ought to prefer that she does? More precisely, suppose we know what an agent’s preference ordering ought to be over the outcomes of performing the various courses of action open to her. Can we infer from this information how she ought to act, and if so, how can we infer it? One view (which, for convenience, I will call ‘actualism’) is th...

The British race can claim with every truth that it has conferred many benefits upon this country; had it conferred no other than the gift of western medicine, the people of the sub-continent might still rise up and call it blessed. Of all the blessings which western medicine has been able to confer, none are surpassed by those which originate from the work of Sir Ronald Ross, k.c.b., k.c.m.g.,...

INTRODUCTION In 1967 Donald Ross introduced the subcoronary Ross procedure consisting of transplantation of the autologous pulmonary valve into aortic position. We describe our 15-year experience in Ross procedures. METHODS 576 subcoronary operations have been performed (436 male and 140 female patients); the mean age was 45±11.9 years. (range, 13 to 70 years). The mean follow-up was 7±4.2 ye...
