Multiple versions of a document may need to be produced for diierent purposes and so may require quite diierent stylistic structures. This paper describes how we are building stylistic control into both natural language parsers (Pundit) and generators (Pen-man) to handle variations in hospital patient educational materials. Stylistic knowledge is formally represented in terms of a multi-level s...

In this paper, we determine numerically a large class of equilibrium configurations of an elastic two-dimensional continuous pantographic sheet in three-dimensional deformation consisting of two families of fibers which are parabolic prior to deformation. The fibers are assumed: i) to be continuously distributed over the sample, ii) to be endowed of bending and torsional sti↵nesses and iii) tie...

Can a tool for computer-aided editing be used to make bureaucratic writing more clear and less formal? The question is explored in a research project of which the study presented here is a part. In the study, 16 university students were asked to revise a letter in bureaucratic style, first using pen and paper, then using computer aids. The letter was prepared to contain 26 problems in mechanics...

In most cases, however, citrus trees form a number of flowers exceedingly higher than the final number of fruits harvested, which usually is a very low percentage of the initial flower number. As in other species which form a large amo...
