We address the stability study of finite difference schemes for Maxwell–Debye and Maxwell–Lorentz models. To this aim we selected the same schemes as those already studied by Petropoulos [6], who after having correctly defined characteristic polynomials associated to each scheme, merely computed its roots with a numerical algorithm. This implies having to specify values for the physical paramet...

A translation memory system stores a data set of source-target pairs of translations. It attempts to respond to a query in the source language with a useful target text from the data set to assist a human translator. Such systems estimate the usefulness of a target text suggestion according to the similarity of its associated source text to the source text query. This study analyses two data se...

In this paper we describe an approach to the semiautomatic identification of legal terms in Czech texts. Our general goal is to offer supplementary tools for building dictionary of Czech law terms. At first we used the VaDis partial parser for recognition of the complex nominal constructions in a legal text – the current version of the Penal Code of the Czech Republic. Headwords of the recogniz...
