PANDA2, a computer program for the minimum-weight design of elastic perfect and imperfect stiffened cylindrical panels and shells under multiple sets of combined loads, is used to obtain optimum designs of uniformly axially compressed elastic internal T-ring and external T-stringer stiffened cylindrical shells with initial imperfections in the form of the general buckling mode. The optimum desi...

In this document, we outline some elements related to sense variation and to sense delimitation within the perspective of the Generative Lexicon. We then show that, in some cases, the Qualia structure can be combined with or replaced by a small number of rules, which seem to capture more adequately the relationships between the predicator and one of its arguments. 1 I n t r o d u c t i o n Inve...

Generation of slogans for companies, products or similar entities is a creative task that is difficult to automate. In this paper we describe our attempt of tackling this problem by combining computational linguistics, semantic resources and genetic algorithms. Introduction Use of computers for support or automation of tasks in creative industries is on the rise. Several such tools and methods ...
