In this paper we describe a rule-based formalism for the analysis and labelling of texts segments. The rules are contextual rewriting rules with a restricted form of negation. They allow to underspecify text segments not considered relevant to a given task and to base decisions upon context. A parser for these rules is presented and consistence and completeness issues are discussed. Some result...

In the presence of selection bias, traditional estimators of pseudo panel data are inconsistent. In this paper, the authors derive the conditions under which consistence is achieved in pseudo-panel estimation and propose a simple test of selection bias. Specifically, they propose a Wald test for the null hypothesis that there is no selection bias. Under rejection of the null hypothesis, the aut...

A vast amount of information sources is stored as relationallike data and inaccessible to RDFS-based systems. In this paper we describe an approach to integration such information sources with RDFSaware systems. The proposed solution is purely RDFS-based. We use RDF/S as a mechanism to specify and perform linking of relational data and a predefined domain ontology. The approach is transformatio...

The semantic grid (SG) aims at connecting information silos of web into a gigantic database, and supplying only the useful information to the users. Much advance has been made on information representation, extraction and sharing, but access control in SG is seldom discussed. This paper presents an access control model for semantic gird, which uses asynchronous automata to simulate grid nodes a...

Inside Cover: Biaxial melt-drawing of blend films composed ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) and normal (NMW-PE) produce a unique network structure consisting 30 nm thick homogeneous folded chain crystals. Subsequent biaxial solid-drawing produces nanoporous covering large area the membrane surface (120 mm × 120 mm). Consistence porousness robustness is highly desirable for vari...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The concept of `mindfulness´ was operationalized primarily for patients with chronic stressors, while it is rarely used in reference to soldiers. We intended to validate a modified instrument on the basis of the Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory (FMI) to measure soldiers' situational awareness ("mindfulness") in stressful situations/missions. The instrument we will explore...

Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations have been used to investigate strain-rate dependence of plasticity and phase transition in [001]-oriented single-crystal iron under ramp compression. Here, is governed by deformation twinning, which kinetics tightly correlated with the loading rate. Over investigated range strain rates, a hardening-like effect found shift onset structural bcc-to-hc...

Due to the extreme insistence for digital image processing, plentiful modern noise suppressing techniques are embodied of dissimilarity process and process. One capability is hard decision threshold (HDT) dissimilarity, which has been recently declared in 2012, impulsive noisy photographs thus computer experimental statement attempts investigate technique that stand on HDT processed photographs...
