Rules on integrity signal tighter stance

Hyperarticulation as a signal of stance

This study analyzes an episode of a televised political talk show for evidence that speakers hyperarticulate concepts about which they express stances, a use of hyperarticulation that interacts with the discourse function of signaling new information. Using content analysis, utterances were coded on two dimensions: Evaluation (presence or absence of stance-expression) and Novelty (new or given ...

On rules and integrity constraints in database systems

Recently, several researchers have proposed incorporating rules into database systems. These rules typically embody several diverse concepts, eg. deductive rules, production rules, and authorisation rules. However, most systems treat these diverse concepts homogeneously. Their roles are often misunderstood because of this lack of distinction. This paper clarifies the concepts of deductive rules...

Direct Rambus Signal Integrity Measurements

Traditional design methods fall short as the new generation of high speed computer architectures are being developed. The need for speed drives digital edge rise times to 350 picoseconds and beyond. The design process is a new game with simple PC board traces becoming transmission lines with complex impedance. Circuit simulation models are helpful tools, but models based on discrete devices don...

Extended Query Answering Using Integrity Rules

The conventional use of databases is commonly restricted to the retrieval of factual data in the form of tuples or records. However most databases also contain metadata in the form of integrity rules which can provide a rich source of additional information not normally available to the user. Integrity rules define what data values and relationships may exist within the database and so their in...
