Rambow, Wier and Vijay-Shanker (Rambow et al., 1995) point out the di erences between TAG derivation structures and semantic or predicateargument dependencies, and Joshi and VijayShanker (Joshi and Vijay-Shanker, 1999) describe a monotonic compositional semantics based on attachment order that represents the desired dependencies of a derivation without underspecifying predicate-argument relatio...

n this paper we provide an analytical expression of the capacity outage probability for CoMP (Coordinated Multiple Point) multicell downlink transmission in Rayleigh fading. The theoretical derivation and simulation results match perfectly. Used in dense urban interference limited networks, CoMP is expected to improve cell-edge users’ throughput and allow a better coverage and fairness. We demo...

This paper is devoted to the derivation of a macroscopic diffusion equation (Fourier’s law) describing the transport of energy in an anharmonic chain. More precisely, we study here the so-called FPU-β chain, which is a very simple model for a one-dimensional crystal in which atoms are coupled to their nearest neighbors by a harmonic potential, weakly perturbed by a quartic potential. The starti...

The so-called generalized Kramers-Kirkwood expression for the average stress tensor of a system of interacting point particles, derived by Bird and Curtiss on using a phase-space-kinetic formalism has been reconsidered from different points of view. First a derivation based upon volume averaging is discussed, and after that a derivation based upon a virtual work principle. The latter approach o...

It is widely recognized that a key problem of parallel computation is in the development of both e cient and correct parallel software. Although many advanced language features and compilation techniques have been proposed to alleviate the complexity of parallel programming, much e ort is still required to develop parallelism in a formal and systematic way. In this paper, we intend to clarify t...

The false positive report probability (FPRP) was proposed as a Bayesian prophylactic against false reports of significant associations. Unfortunately, the derivation of the FPRP is unsound. A heuristic derivation fails to make its point, and a formal derivation reveals a probabilistic misrepresentation of an observation. As a result, the FPRP can yield serious inferential errors. In particular,...

We consider the clause{based version of the general model of semantic derivations proposed by Kraj cek. Resolution refutation proof is a special deterministic version of fanin-2 clause{based derivation. We prove the following combinatorial lower bound on the length of such derivations. Let F be a k-partite hypergraph, with at most b points in each part such that no point belongs to more than d ...

This article deals with the peculiarities of mechanisms providing formation of semantics of compound words from the perspective of the cognitive approach. More to the point, it is a question of conceptual derivation, where meaning formation of compound words is carried out by the interaction of its component conceptual structures. The author has researched the main means which take part in the ...

Nonperturbative terms in the free energy of Chern-Simons gauge theory play a key role in its duality to the closed topological string. We show that these terms are reproduced by performing a double scaling limit near the point where the perturbation expansion diverges. This leads to a derivation of closed string theory from this large-N gauge theory along the lines of noncritical string theorie...
