A variety of approaches to knowledge base refinement [3, 81 and rule acquistion [4] have appeared recently. This paper is concerned with the means by which alternative refinement systems themselves may be specified, developed, and studied. The anticipated virtues of taking a metalinguistic approach to these tasks are described, and shown to be confirmed by experience with an actual refinement m...

A study investigated the use of specific error correction and writing instruction techniques in a composition course designed for foreign graduate students. Weekly in-class student essays on assigned topics were returned to them ungraded but containing explanations of grammar points, confusing vocabulary, content, and organization. A conscious effort was made to find praiseworthy elements in ev...

Aberration correction leads to a substantial improvement in the interpretable resolution of Transmission Electron Microscopes. Electron optical correctors based on two strong hexapole elements linked through a round lens transfer doublet enables direct correction of all axial aberrations to third order. Subsequent, indirect computational analysis of a focal or tilt series of images offers the p...

Background Retrospective review of 62 consecutive patients affected by AIS (Lenke type 1 or 2) treated by posterior fusion with pedicle screw-only instrumentation. Three groups identified: Pre-Rod (direct derotation procedure done before inserting rods), Single-Rod (derotation done after concave rod insertion) Double-Rod (after both rods). The Pre-Rods insertion cases showed a significantly bet...

What is the logic of scope? By “scope”, I mean scopetaking in natural languages such as English, as illustrated by the sentence Ann saw everyone. In this example, the quantifier denoted by everyone takes scope over the rest of the sentence, that is, it takes the denotation of the rest of the sentence as its semantic argument: everyone(λx.saw(x)(ann)). The answer I will give here will be to prov...
