Natural language processing for historical text imposes a variety of challenges, such as to deal with a high degree of spelling variation. Furthermore, there is often not enough linguistically annotated data available for training part-of-speech taggers and other tools aimed at handling this specific kind of text. In this paper we present a Levenshtein-based approach to normalisation of histori...

We experimentally explore the effects and interactions of three variables considered important when bargaining over a jointly produced surplus: performance information, production uncertainties when translating performance into output, and subjective entitlements derived from the production process. We find that without performance information subjective entitlements are mostly mutually consist...

Purpose: We propose in this paper to analyze what are the factors that influence knowledge transfer both intra and intergenerational in family firms. The main objective is to establish a framework that can be used later in empirical research, although we maintain a completely theoretical approach in this paper Design/methodology/approach: This study, which is a comprehensive framework character...

A functional approach for the study of the random walks in random sceneries (RWRS) is proposed. Under fairly general assumptions on the random walk and on the random scenery, functional limit theorems are proved. The method allows to study separately the convergence of the walk and of the scenery: on the one hand, a general criterion for the convergence of the local time of the walk is provided...

The River Basin Projects of the Post World War III era created an unprecedented threat to archaeological resources of the historic period on the Great Plains. Funding was provided to address this threat through the River Basin Survey, and an ambitious program of excavation on historic sites ensued. The impact of this work on the direction of historical archaeology on the Great Plains was signif...

feminist critical discourse analysis is an approach distinguished by its focus on revealing unequal power relations between women and men in their social life. in the present paper, it is suggested that simone de beauvoir’s theory of the formation of gender identity and female subject in the second sex provides a meaningful theoretical ground to the feminist critical discourse analysis. althoug...
