We describe an open source computational grammar for Punjabi; a resource-poor language. The grammar is developed in GF (Grammatical framework), which is a tool for multilingual grammar formalism. First, we explore different syntactic features of Punjabi and then we implement them in accordance with GF grammar requirements, to make Punjabi the 17th language in the GF resource grammar library.

PTFE/GF(glass fiber) composites are widely applied in high-frequency printed circuit board (PCB) substrate materials due to the excellent dielectric properties of PTFE and low thermal expansion coefficient GF. However, poor interface compatibility between GF affects performance composite substrates. In this study, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) was used as silicon source, polydimethylsiloxane ...

To reduce the risk of slip, grip force (GF) control includes a safety margin above the force level ordinarily sufficient for the expected load force (LF) dynamics. The current view is that this safety margin is based on the expected LF dynamics, amounting to a static safety factor like that often used in engineering design. More efficient control could be achieved, however, if the motor system ...

This paper describes a fast software implementation of the elliptic curve version of DSA, as specified in draft standard documents ANSI X9.62 and IEEE P1363. We did the implementations for the fields GF(2), using a standard basis, and GF(p). We discuss various design decisions that have to be made for the operations in the underlying field and the operations on elliptic curve points. In particu...

The dissolution rate of glass fibers has been shown to be pH sensitive using in vitro lung fluid simulant models. The current study investigated whether there is a difference in phagosomal pH (ppH) between rat alveolar macrophages (AM) and rat nasal epithelial cells (RNEC) and whether such a difference would influence the dissolution of glass fibers. The ppH was measured in cultured AM and RNEC...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complex disorder. As genome-wide association studies identified cubilin gene CUBN as a locus for albuminuria, and urinary protein loss is a risk factor for progressive CKD, we tested the hypothesis that common genetic variants in CUBN are associated with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and proteinuria. First, a total of 1142 patients with ESRD, admitted for rena...

Fluid intelligence (gF) and working memory (WM) span predict success in demanding cognitive situations. Recent studies show that much of the variance in gF and WM span is shared, suggesting common neural mechanisms. This study provides a direct investigation of the degree to which shared variance in gF and WM span can be explained by neural mechanisms of interference control. The authors measur...

The guarded fragment (GF) was introduced in [1] as a fragment of first order logic which combines a great expressive power with nice modal behavior. It consists of relational first order formulas whose quantifiers are relativized by atoms in a certain way. While GF has been established as a particularly well-behaved fragment of first order logic in many respects, interpolation fails in restrict...

This paper describes an open-source Latvian resource grammar implemented in Grammatical Framework (GF), a programming language for multilingual grammar applications. GF differentiates between concrete grammars and abstract grammars: translation among concrete languages is provided via abstract syntax trees. Thus the same concrete grammar is effectively used for both language analysis and langua...

One difficulty in the cryptanalysis of the Advanced Encryption Standard AES is the tension between operations in the two fields GF (2) and GF (2). This paper outlines a new approach that avoids this conflict. We define a new block cipher, the BES, that uses only simple algebraic operations in GF (2). Yet the AES can be regarded as being identical to the BES with a restricted message space and k...
