My intention in this paper is to outline and motivate a novel theory of syntactic bootstrapping, Exemplar-Based Phonological Bootstrapping (EBPB), based on Stochastic Tree-Substitution Grammar. Because I have outlined the basic structure of STSG in other places for assessed work on this degree, I will not recapitulate that work in the body of the present paper, but will instead quote it in full...

We consider n non-intersecting Brownian motion paths with p prescribed starting positions at time t = 0 and q prescribed ending positions at time t = 1. The positions of the paths at any intermediate time are a determinantal point process, which in the case p = 1 is equivalent to the eigenvalue distribution of a random matrix from the Gaussian unitary ensemble with external source. For general ...

The fractional cable equation is studied on a bounded space domain. One of the prescribed boundary conditions is of Dirichlet type, the other is of a general form, which includes the case of nonlocal boundary conditions. In real problems nonlocal boundary conditions are prescribed when the data on the boundary can not be measured directly. We apply spectral projection operators to convert the p...

An analysis has been carried out to study the magnetohydrodynamic boundary layer flow and heat transfer characteristics of a dusty fluid over a flat stretching sheet in the presence of viscous dissipation. The basic equations governing the flow and heat transfer are in the form of partial differential equations, the same have been reduced to a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations b...

In this study, a steady, incompressible, and laminar-free convective flow of a two-dimensional electrically conducting viscoelastic fluid over a moving stretching surface through a porous medium is considered. The boundary-layer equations are derived by considering Boussinesq and boundary-layer approximations. The nonlinear ordinary differential equations for the momentum and energy equations a...

This paper investigates the performance of a column classification system developed at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven applied to pharmaceutical chromatographic analyses. The liquid chromatography assay of lamotrigine and related compounds was carried out according to the method prescribed in the European Pharmacopoeia monograph, using 28 brands of stationary phases. A ranking was built base...

‎let $p(z)=z^s h(z)$ where $h(z)$ is a polynomial‎ ‎of degree at most $n-s$ having all its zeros in $|z|geq k$ or in $|z|leq k$‎. ‎in this paper we obtain some new results about the dependence of $|p(rz)|$ on $|p(rz)| $ for $r^2leq rrleq k^2$‎, ‎$k^2 leq rrleq r^2$ and for $rleq r leq k$‎. ‎our results refine and generalize certain well-known polynomial inequalities‎.

A new method for the design of robust minimax far-field broadband beamformers with optimized microphone positions is proposed. The method is formulated as an iterative optimization problem where the maximum passband1 magnitude response error is minimized and the microphone positions are optimized while ensuring that the minimum stopband attenuation is above a prescribed level. To maintain robus...

Database queries within a component framework usually take the form of a string passed to an operation in a component’s interface. The interface operation accepts a value of type string as an actual parameter and implements the necessary support to resolve the query. In such an approach, a component’s interface does not explicitly state the queries supported by that component. In this paper, we...
