With the recognition in recent years of the influence of three-dimensional (3-D) radiative transfer on cloud optical property retrievals, interest in the measurements of the Thematic Mapper (TM) radiometer aboard the Landsat satellite has been renewed. This instrument provides a unique high-resolution data set where the effects of 3-D cloud structure are expected to be prominent. The purpose of...

With the increasing number of digital maps and other geo-referenced data that are available over the Internet, there is a growing need for access to techniques that allow us to preview the content and to evaluate it relative to the requirements for complex spatial and thematic queries. . Analogous to the digital indices for fulltext searches on text documents, we introduce highly condensed, mac...

When faced with the NPversus S-coordination ambiguity as in, for example, The thief shot the jeweler and the cop ..., readers prefer the reading with NP-coordination (e.g., "The thief shot the jeweler and the cop yesterday") over one with two conjoined sentences (e.g., "The thief shot the jeweler and the cop panicked"). A corpus study is presented showing that NP-coordinations are produced far ...

We continue the study of the so-called thematic factorizations of admissible very badly approximable matrix functions. These factorizations were introduced by V.V. Peller and N.J. Young for studying superoptimal approximation by bounded analytic matrix functions. Even though thematic indices associated with a thematic factorization of an admissible very badly approximable matrix function are no...

Sentence production difficulties are a common feature of aphasia. The aim of the current study was to investigate the processes involved in sentence production and to identify whether consistent patterns of difficulties are associated with non-fluent and fluent aphasic speech. An analysis of sentence production was designed which described thematic, phrasal and morphological structure. The sent...

conclusions the findings showed a relative concordance between psychiatric interviews and psychological assessments in the clinical diagnosis of mental illness. background one of the most important issues to diagnose mental disorders is the use of independent tools with similar results. documented history is an important tool to diagnose diseases at each stage. the first and fundamental step in...

With the increasing number of digital maps and other geo-referenced data that are available over the Internet, there is a growing need for methods to preview the content of such data sources, and to evaluate their relevance with respect to complex spatial and thematic search criteria. Analogous to the digital indices for full-text searches on text documents, we introduce highly condensed, machi...

This paper describes a large-scale language-independent evaluation of the use of Thematic Hierarchies in natural language generation. We translate from a corpus of sentences reeecting the full variety of behavior of Levin-based verb classes. The corpus is used as input to a generation system that utilizes the same thematic hierarchy for realizing relative argument surface positions in two langu...
