A sense-based lexical knowledgebase is a core foundation for language engineering. Two important criteria must be satisfied when constructing a knowledgebase: linguistic felicity and data cohesion. In this paper, we discuss how data cohesion of the sense information collected using the Sinica Sense Management System (SSMS) can be achieved. SSMS manages both lexical entries and word senses, and ...

BACKGROUND The critical period during which the dietary supply of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPs) may influence the maturation of cortical function in term infants is unknown. OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to determine the relative importance for maturation of the visual cortex of the dietary supply of LCPs during the first 6 wk of life compared with that during wee...

It is well known that the problem of finding a Nash equilibrium for a bimatrix game (2-NASH) can be formulated as a linear complementarity problem (LCP). In addition, 2NASH belongs to the complexity class PPAD (Polynomialtime Parity Argument Directed). Based on the close connection between the graph associated with the Lemke algorithm, a vertex following algorithm for LCP, and the graph used to...

This study undertook a detailed analysis of the representation lexical cohesion within research background sections undergraduate theses at an Indonesian university. Utilizing quantitative approach, aimed to investigate frequency and percentage distribution devices employed by students in their writing. The primary data collection tool was note-taking, with drawn from selection submitted Englis...

The present research examined the effects of lexical cohesion cloze reading exercises (in which deletions involved various types cohesive devices) on improving EFL students’ comprehension. Sixty-four Thai university students were randomly assigned to control and experimental groups. Both groups received 12 sessions skill-based instruction, but group had additional practice in recognizing relati...
