The American National Corpus and its annotations are represented in a stand-off XML format compliant with the specifications of ISO TC37 SC4 WG1’s Linguistic Annotation Framework. Because few systems that enable search and access of the corpus currently support stand-off markup, the project has developed a SAX like parser that generates ANC data with annotations in-line, in a variety of output ...

In this work we present asymptotically justified boundary/interface conditions for a viscoelastic two-phase fiber model with flow-enhanced crystallization. While the equations are well-established in literature, choice of boundary is still under discussion as they might cause artificial layering at crystallization onset. We show that our avoid such layering, yielding regularly perturbed value p...

To accommodate heterogeneous transmission conditions in a streaming scenario several multi-rate multicast solutions have been proposed, based on simulcasting or hierarchical layering. At present, most of these schemes follow a receiver-driven layered multicast approach, where the receivers join or leave a subset of the session’s fixed-rate layers in response to changing network conditions. Yet,...

The interaction of four lectins from crops of the legume family with Saccharomyces cerevisiae alpha-mannan, and also with two glycoenzymes containing mainly alpha-mannan moieties, has been studied. The interaction was characterized by a quantitative precipitation assay. The results of precipitation differ with respect to both quality (the point of maximum precipitation) and of the quantity (the...

Slimness of a graph measures the local deviation of its metric from a tree metric. In a graph G = (V,E), a geodesic triangle △(x, y, z) with x, y, z ∈ V is the union P (x, y)∪P (x, z)∪P (y, z) of three shortest paths connecting these vertices. A geodesic triangle △(x, y, z) is called δ-slim if for any vertex u ∈ V on any side P (x, y) the distance from u to P (x, z)∪P (y, z) is at most δ, i.e. ...

The effect of both surface coupling Js and surface magnetic field Hs on the dependency of the layering temperature TL as a function of the thickness N , of a spin−1/2 Ising film is studied using mean field theory. It is found that for Js greater than a critical value (Jsc = 1.30), the layering temperature decreases when the film thickness N increases for any values of Hs. While, for Js < Jsc, t...
