It often been held that, if one subscribes to a retributivist theory, then is also committed punishment (or at least proportionately-determined upper constraints). In present article, this assumption challenged. shown that inference from fact offender more serious crime than ...

This article reviews currently used approaches for establishing dose proportionality in Phase I dose escalation studies. A review of relevant literature between 2002 and 2006 found that the power model was the preferred choice for assessing dose proportionality in about one-third of the articles. This article promotes the use of the power model and a conceptually appealing extension, i.e. a cri...

A PROPORTIONALITY-BASED APPROACH TO SEARCH RESULT DIVERSIFICATION

Formal Models of Analogical Proportions Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications rely, in an increasing number of operational contexts, on machine learning mechanisms which are able to extract, in an entirely automated manner, linguistic regularities from annotated corpora. Among these, analogical learning is characterized by the systematic exploitation, in a symbolic machine learning app...
