The goal of this work is to use Distributional Semantic Models (Sahlgren, 2006; Turney, 2010) to get insights into the nature of thematic roles. In particular, we investigate whether the semantic representation produced by Distributional Semantic Models (henceforth, DSMs) is sensitive to effects of typicality involving thematic roles, and we quantify their relative prominence in the semantic re...

Social media has attracted the attention of the academic community as an emerging communication channel. This channel opens a new opportunity to measure the impact of social use of scholarly publications in social media (altmetrics) that supplements our understanding on the scholarly impact of publications (bibliometrics). Two different channels, social media and journal, are known to establish...

Many nurses grieve when patients die; however, nurses’ grief is not often acknowledged or discussed. Also, little attention is given to preparing nurses for this experience in schools of nursing and in orientations to health care organizations. The purpose of this research was to explore obstetrical and neonatal nurses’ experiences of grieving when caring for families who experience loss after ...

The CLC (Combined Location Classification) error model provides indices for overall data uncertainty in thematic spatio-temporal datasets. It accounts for the two major sources of error in such datasets, location error and classification error. The model assumes independence between error components, while recent studies revealed various degrees of correlation between error components in actual...

The topographical characteristic features of a land surface landforms, elevation, rocks, soils, and vegetation. The study was undertaken to prepare an inventory of terrain characteristics. The study area is North latitudes 17d27’00”: 18d18’00”and East longitudes 77d 28’00” and is included in Survey of India toposheets 56G6, 56G10, 56G13, 56G14, 56G15, 56K02, 56K03, 56K06, and 56K07). The IRS-ID...

Remote Sensing Images (RSIs) have been used as a major source of data, particularly with respect to the creation of thematic maps. This process is usually modeled as a supervised classification problem where the system needs to learn the patterns of interest provided by the user and assign a class to the rest of the image regions. Associated with the nature of RSIs, there are several challenges...

The development and progression of lung adenocarcinoma, one of the most common cancers, is driven by the interplay of genetic and epigenetic changes and the role of chromatin structure in malignant transformation remains poorly understood. We used systematic nucleosome distribution and chromatin accessibility microarray mapping platforms to analyze the genome-wide chromatin structure from norma...

Inflammation represents the immune system response to external or internal aggressors such as injury or infection in certain tissues. The body's response to cancer has many parallels with inflammation and repair; the inflammatory cells and cytokines present in tumours are more likely to contribute to tumour growth, progression, and immunosuppression, rather than in building an effective antitum...
