In the world of linguistics, term “discourse” is often used in many scientific works devoted to study text problems. As V. Hegay rightly points out, although widely linguistics as well fields literature, sociology, political science, philosophy, logic, psychology, itself has a unique, accepted interpretation, meaningless, express variety different concepts.

hydro-forming is a fabrication process that uses a fluid medium to form a piece by using high internal pressure. in tube hydro-forming, a tubular blank is placed between two dies, sealed and pressurized water injected, deforming the tube walls in the cavity form of the dies. exist several typical hydro-forming processes such as t- shapes, cross-shapes and y- shapes. successful hydro-forming dep...

The subject of structural health monitoring and damage identification of structures at the earliest possible stage has been a noteworthy topic for researchers in the last years. Modal strain energy (MSE) based index is one of the efficient methods which are commonly used for detecting damage in structures. It is also more effective and economical to employ some methods for reducing the degrees ...

Probabilistic cardinality constraints stipulate lower bounds on the marginal probability of cardinality constraints in probabilistic databases. The demo shows how the computation of Armstrong PCsketches helps design teams identify lower bounds that separate meaningful from meaningless probabilistic databases in an application domain.

This paper shows that shape simplification is a tool useful in Non-Photorealistic rendering from photographs, because it permits a level of abstraction otherwise unreachable. A variety of simple shapes (e.g. circles, triangles, squares, superellipses and so on) are optimally fitted to each region within a segmented photograph. The system automatically chooses the shape that best represents the ...

Although the control of meaningful gestures is one of the most left-lateralized functions, the relative contribution of the two hemispheres to their processing is still debated. We tested the effects of primes appearing in the left or right visual field in the form of pictures (Experiment 1), and words (Experiment 2) on categorization of movies showing intransitive ("communicative") gestures, t...

ing away from the data for a moment, observe that nothing precludes subject raising after PI. Concretely, the possibility remains for the in situ subject to become an outer-Spec-F. Unless we stipulate otherwise, which is what DD does by endorsing (10): (10) Adjunction to meaningless categories is disallowed. [from Den Dikken 2006b: 5] Assuming F is a meaningless category, (10) does give a way t...

We introduce and begin to explore the mean and median of finite sets of shapes represented as integral currents. The median can be computed efficiently in practice, and we focus most of our theoretical and computational attention on medians. We consider questions on the existence and regularity of medians. While the median might not exist in all cases, we show that a mass-regularized median is ...
