‘Narrow-sense’ and ‘broad-sense’ vascular abnormalities of systemic sclerosis

Effect of Regulatory Architecture on Broad versus Narrow Sense Heritability

Additive genetic variance (VA ) and total genetic variance (VG ) are core concepts in biomedical, evolutionary and production-biology genetics. What determines the large variation in reported VA /VG ratios from line-cross experiments is not well understood. Here we report how the VA /VG ratio, and thus the ratio between narrow and broad sense heritability (h(2) /H(2) ), varies as a function of ...

Parsing in a Broad Sense

Having multiple representations of the same instance is common in software language engineering: models can be visualised as graphs, edited as text, serialised as XML. When mappings between such representations are considered, terms “parsing” and “unparsing” are often used with incompatible meanings and varying sets of underlying assumptions. We investigate 12 classes of artefacts found in soft...

Fuzzy Logic in Narrow Sense with Hedges

Classical logic has a serious limitation in that it cannot cope with the issues of vagueness and uncertainty into which fall most modes of human reasoning. In order to provide a foundation for human knowledge representation and reasoning in the presence of vagueness, imprecision, and uncertainty, fuzzy logic should have the ability to deal with linguistic hedges, which play a very important rol...

A Broad-Coverage Word Sense Tagger

In other words, previous corpus-based WSD algorithms learn to disambiguate a polysemous word from previous usages of the same word. This has several undesirable consequences. Firstly, a word must occur thousands of times before a good classifter can be trained. There are thousands of polysemous words, e.g., 11,562 polysemous nouns in WordNet (Miller, 1990). For every polysemous word to occur th...
