To quantitatively convert upper mantle seismic wave speeds measured into temperature, density, composition, and corresponding uncertainty, we introduce the Whole-rock Interpretative Seismic Toolbox For Ultramafic Lithologies (WISTFUL). WISTFUL is underpinned by a database of 4,485 ultramafic whole-rock compositions, their calculated mineral modes, elastic moduli, over range pressure (P) tempera...

In this paper we extend a formal framework presented in [6] to model reasoning across legal systems. In particular, we propose a logical system that encompasses the various interpretative interactions occurring between legal systems in the context of private international law. This is done by introducing meta-rules to reason with interpretive canons.

Repeated stimulus processing is often associated with a reduction in neural activity, as measured by single-cell recording or by haemodynamic imaging techniques like PET and fMRI. These reductions are sometimes linked to the behavioural phenomenon of priming. In this article, we discuss issues relevant to theories that attempt to relate these phenomena, concentrating in particular on the interp...

This paper proposes a method of extracting metonymic expressions and their interpretative expressions from corpora and its application for the fullparsing-based matching method of a QA system. An evaluation showed that 79% of the extracted interpretations were correct, and an experiment using testsets indicated that introducing the metonymic expressions significantly improved the performance.
