Structural health monitoring and damage detection is one of the most important subjects for mechanic and aerospace engineers. Structural fault can cause uncompensated problems for both human and environment. There are several methods for solving this problem, but the most useful methods are those which focuse on structural change in the vibrational properties. This paper presents a feasibility ...

Food-oriented cross-modal retrieval aims to retrieve relevant recipes given food images or vice versa. The modality semantic gap between and (text image modalities) is the main challenge. Though several studies are introduced bridge this gap, they still suffer from two major limitations: 1) simple embedding concatenation only can capture interactions rather than complex different recipe compone...

The ability to comprehend and produce phrasal verbs, as lexical chunks or groups of words which are commonly found together, is an important part of language learning. This study investigates the effect of ‘conceptual metaphor awareness’, as a newly developed technique in Cognitive Linguistics, on learning phrasal verbs by Iranian intermediate EFL learners. To meet this objective, two intact ho...

The present study deals with modal verb meanings and variation concerning these verbs in a corpus of texts the field tourism. For this, we will use compilation article introductions conclusions written English published specialized leading journals on Modal are important to evince authors’ stance propositional content (Palmer, 2001; Biber, Johansson, Leech, Conrad & Finegan, 1999). Our main are...

A view mechanism can help handle the complex semantics in emerging application areas such as image databases. This paper presents the view mechanism we de ned for the DISIMA image database system. Since DISIMA is being developed on top of an object-oriented database system, we rst propose a powerful object-oriented view mechanism based on the separation between types (interface functions) and c...

The paper presents a semiotic approach to the study of knowledge creation and sharing processes. These processes are aimed to generate goal-oriented knowledge system (GOKS) in different domains. A GOKS is generated by an expert collective that creates new meanings using a changeable constellation of signs including personal (expert), collective, and conventional signs, their sign-forms and sign...

the meaning of an idiomatic expression cannot be transparently worked out from the meanings of its constituent words due to its figurative and unpredictable nature. consequently, the syntactic composition and the structural paradigm of an idiomatic expression are supposed to be the same in every context. however, this is not the case in the institutionalized second language varieties of english...

We consider two systems of constructive modal logic which are computationally motivated. Their modalities admit several computational interpretations and are used to capture intensional features such as notions of computation, constraints, concurrency design, etc. Both systems have so far been studied mainly from a type-theoretic and category-theoretic perspectives, but Kripke models for simila...

Object-Oriented Software Development Fernando Náufel do Amaral and Edward Hermann Haeusler Department of Informatics PUC-RJ (Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro) – Brazil fnaufel, hermann @inf.puc-rio.br Abstract This paper discusses how RETOOL, an action logic featuring an operator that expresses necessary conditions, postconditions and time bounds of actions, can be combined with MTL, a lin...

Above all, (a) to (d) are concerned with speech and gesture-structures, information about the morphology of gesture tokens, and timing facts. They serve as a basis for describing the function of gestures, their overall meaning, the set-up of multimodal content and, most importantly, to inform the simulation. Simulation of speech-accompanying iconic gesture (e) is our main field of application. ...
