knoWitiary is a resource that presents a reorganized version of Wiktionary’s information in machine readable format. Wiktionary contains a plethora of information about words, including sense definitions, etymology, translations, derived terms and anagrams. Similar work to the one reported here goes one step further than extracting information from Wiktionary: mapping it onto WordNet – NLP comm...

In this work we investigate unions of lifted MRD codes of a fixed dimension and minimum distance and derive an explicit formula for the cardinality of such codes. This will then imply a lower bound on the cardinality of constant dimension codes. We will first repeat some known results needed in this section. In Section 2 we will explain the construction and derive the formula for the cardinalit...

A mandatory representation design MRD(K; v) is a pairwise balanced design on v points with block sizes from the set K in which for each k ∈ K there is at least one block in the design of size k. In this paper, we show that the necessary criteria for an MRD(K; v) to exist are asymptotically sufficient for finite K. Furthermore, we consider MRDs with K = {4, k}, where k ≡ 2 mod 3, k ≥ 5. Here, we...

the use of the internet as a source of information gathering, self-help and support is becoming increasingly recognized. parents and professionals of children with hearing impairment have been shown to seek information about different communication approaches online. cued speech is a very new approach to persian speaking pupils. our aim was to develop a useful website to give related informatio...

We present a new family of maximum rank distance (MRD) codes. The new class contains codes that are neither equivalent to a generalised Gabidulin nor to a twisted Gabidulin code, the only two known general constructions of linear MRD codes.

This study examines whether longer annual reports are less readable. Using the sample of 20-F forms published by foreign firms listed on United States Stock Exchanges, we find a significantly negative association between length and readability. result suggests that not The change in writing styles with shorter sentences, which is better complied regulations US Securities Exchange Commission (SE...
