A bout 120 new Mesopotamian mathematical cuneiform texts, all from the Norwegian Schøyen Collection, are published in the author’s book A Remarkable Collection of Babylonian Mathematical Texts, Springer (2007). Most of the texts are Old Babylonian (1900–1600 BC), but some are older (Sumerian), or younger (Kassite). In addition to the presentation and discussion of these new texts, the book cont...

We propose a method that helps users to understand their own interests by extracting terms from selected link texts and generating a new browsing history, and arranging those terms and Web-page icons on to the user's interest space in chronological order. We have implemented a prototype system based on this method. The system's performance was evaluated in two experiments, which revealed that (...

In this paper, we present an evaluation of anaphors generated by a Chinese natural language generation system. In the evaluation work, the anaphors in five test texts generated by three test systems employing generation rules with different complexities ~vere compared with the ones in the same texts created by twelve native speakers of Chinese. We took the average number of anaphors matching be...

This paper addresses the issue of how language technology resources and components can be applied in ontology-based querying. In particular, it presents the approach to text and query analysis adopted in the Danish research project OntoQuery, where shallow syntactic analysis and ontology-based parsing are combined in order to identify nominal phrases (NPs) and assign them a semantic description...

We present a technique which uses multiple linear approximations in the linear cryptanalysis of a block cipher and allows for a reduction in the amount of data required for a successful attack. Although the method using many linear approximations was already suggested by B. Kaliski and M. Robshaw in 1994, this paper describes an revisited version utilizing a lot of approximations. In this paper...

Emotion detection is increasingly used in Embodied Conversational Agents to create an adapted reply channel to the user's affective state. In this context, we propose a method to detect emotions in short texts (i.e. in texts whose size is similar to dialog utterances). Our goal is to design a model to detect the dominant affective state produced by short texts onto a reader and to classify them...

Introduction: The skin is a biological component and main organ of the external environment has viscoelastic action with property being remodeled under pressure that operates against tissue. Muscle flaccidity due to an increase in muscle tone, having less resistance. handled treatment sagging cut, this resource produces improvement by reconditioning elasticity capacity tension tissues generatin...

Random-text models have been proposed as an explanation for the power law relationship between word frequency and rank, the so-called Zipf’s law. They are generally regarded as null hypotheses rather than models in the strict sense. In this context, recent theories of language emergence and evolution assume this law as a priori information with no need of explanation. Here, random texts and rea...

In this paper, we will present an estimation for the upper-bound of the amount of 16-bytes plaintexts for English texts, that is not sufficient large make clear that the block ciphers with block length no more than 16-bytes will be subject to recover plaintext attacks in the occasions of plaintext -known or plaintext-chosen attacks.
