In this paper, we investigate the concept of unconditional transfer within various forms of regulated grammars like programmed grammars, matrix grammars, grammars with regular control, grammars controlled by bicoloured digraphs, periodically time-variant grammars and variants thereof, especially regarding their descriptive capacity both as language generating and as language accepting devices. ...

An electronic individual descriptive record system for storing the individual's identification and descriptive data on a programmable electronic identification and data storage module carried with the individual so that the individual's identification, the individual's descriptive data and the individual itself become one. The system includes an implantable programmable electronic identificatio...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of visually descriptive language (VDL) – intuitively a text segment whose truth can be confirmed by visual sense alone. VDL can be exploited in many vision-based tasks, e.g. image interpretation and story illustration. In contrast to previous work requiring pre-aligned texts and images, we propose a broader definition of VDL that extends to a much larger r...

We present in this paper a symbol recognition system for the graphic documents. This one is based on a contextual approach for symbol structural recognition exploiting an Object-Process Methodology. It uses a processing library composed of structural recognition processings and contextual evaluation processings. These processings allow our system to deal with the multi-representation of symbols...

This paper describes the program transformation system Ultra. The intended use of Ultra is to assist programmers in the formal derivation of correct and ef-cient programs from high-level descriptive or operational speciications. The most salient features of Ul-tra are its sound theoretical foundation, its lean, and portable implementation, its extendability, its exible and convenient way to exp...

The wide empirical coverage of two number features, [±singular] and [±augmented], is used to show that (Greenbergian) category-internal markedness, (geometric) feature markedness, and value markedness are, respectively, epiphenomenal, untenable, and too simplistically formulated to be currently evaluated.

This 13th article of the Basics of Research series is first in a short series on statistical analysis. These articles will discuss creating your statistical analysis plan, levels of measurement, descriptive statistics, probability theory, inferential statistics, and general considerations for interpretation of the results of a statistical analysis.
