The theory of level-ordering proposes that word formation processes are assigned to one of three levels within the lexicon. Level 1 processes are applied before Level 2, which are applied before Level 3. Such ordering constraints predict differences in acceptability between pairs such as teeth marks versus *claws marks, and Darwinianism versus *Darwinismian. An acquisition model is examined in ...

DEAL is a DES-based block cipher proposed by Knudsen. The block size of DEAL is 128 bits, twice as much as the DES block size. The main result of the current paper is a certificational attack on DEAL192, the DEAL variant with a 192-bit key. The attack allows a trade-off between the number of plaintext/ciphertext pairs and the time for the attacker’s computations. Nevertheless, the DEAL design p...

We present DEAL, a spoken dialogue system for conversation training under development at KTH. DEAL is a game with a spoken language interface designed for second language learners. The system is intended as a multidisciplinary research platform where challenges and potential benefits of combining elements from computer games, dialogue systems and language learning can be explored.

Any scheduling scheme for grid applications must make implicit or explicit assumptions about both the future behaviour of the application and the future availability and performance of grid resources. This paper describes an approach in which the future application behaviour is constrained by the use of algorithmic skeletons, facilitating modelling with a performance oriented process algebra, a...

the projection of information and communication technology (ict) has begun to have its impact in iran. the benefits gained from ict are widely accepted and the iranian government is encouraging the country for adopting ict practices. e-learning is an important branch of ict which has attracted the attention of many people, especially those in educational and academic sectors. however, e-learnin...

The purpose of this literature review is to document academic research concerning factors influencing the performances of venture capital funds, as well as the venture capital fundraising decisions. Industry specialisation, large fund sizes, strong deal flow, syndication of investments, and especially, experience, all appear to be factors leading to superior investment performance, which is par...

In the terms of operational calculus the probability characteristics of direct and reverse residual renewal time of alternating renewal process, where renewal time depends on life-time, are found. 1. Definitions, Motivations and Formulation of the Problem 1.1 According to [1] let’s consider a system which fails after random life-time X1 and is fully renewed after the lapse of random time Y1. Th...

Despite the enormous media coverage that the issue of year 2000 (Y2K) readiness has received in recent months, the focus of that coverage has been restricted almost exclusively to technological aspects. Non-technical issues have tended to be either ignored completely or given very little attention. Most importantly, not much is known about the organisational processes of preparing to face this ...
