Within current surface-oriented lexical frameworks, the standard approach to cliticization phenomena in Romance assumes that affixation of pronominal clitics to their verbal hosts should be conceived of as an instance of lexical alternation. Consequently, under the analyses proposed by e.g. Miller and Sag (1995) and Monachesi (1996) these phenomena are dealt with in terms of lexical rules. This...

A formula is given for the propagation of errors during matrix inversion. An explicit calculation for a 2 × 2 matrix using both the formula and a Monte Carlo calculation are compared. A prescription is given to determine when a matrix with uncertain elements is sufficiently nonsingular for the calculation of the covariances of the inverted matrix elements to be reliable.

At the LHC, it will be possible to investigate scenarios for physics beyond the Standard Model in detail. We present precise total and differential cross section predictions, based on Prospino2.0 and SMadGraph. We also show to what degree the structure of the weak–scale supersymmetric Lagrangean can be studied, based on LHC data alone or based on combined LHC and linear collider. Using Sfitter ...

The purpose of this study is to characterize the indoor and indoor-outdoor propagation in different scenarios, using monopole antennas working at 410 MHz and 890 MHz. Propagation of narrow band and wide bands have been studied. In scenarios with a continuous variation of the distance between the transmitter and receiver antenna (1 D scenarios), we use a log-distance path loss model to determine...

A Bayesian approach is presented for model-based classification of images with application to synthetic-aperture radar. Posterior probabilities are computed for candidate hypotheses using physical features estimated from sensor data along with features predicted from these hypotheses. The likelihood scoring allows propagation of uncertainty arising in both the sensor data and object models. The...

Prior work on revision identification typically uses a pipeline method: revision extraction is first conducted to identify the locations of revisions and revision classification is then conducted on the identified revisions. Such a setting propagates the errors of the revision extraction step to the revision classification step. This paper proposes an approach that identifies the revision locat...

A simple modification of the decision feedback equalizer (DFE) slicer is proposed to reduce the effect of error propagation. A comparison of the performance of the modified DFE and conventional DFE is made for specific channels. On these channels, modified DFE performs only marginally better than the conventional DFE in terms of average error probability, but may offer some advantages in terms ...

The dependency of society and business on telecommunication services is commonly recognized, but is this conception taken into account in our effort towards smarter and more autonomous networks? The objective of the paper is to discuss some dependability issues in the context of these networks and to pinpoint some challenges. As an introduction, a brief review of dependability concepts is given...

NDVI time series imagery are commonly used as a reliable source for land use and land cover mapping and monitoring. However long duration cloud can significantly influence its precision in areas where persistent clouds prevails. Therefore quantifying errors related to cloud contamination are essential for accurate land cover mapping and monitoring. This study aims to detect long duration cloud ...
