the body-part term dast ‘hand’ is investigated in this article as used in the first part of 160 farsi compound nouns. the questions are: how is the semantic change pattern of hand used in persian compound nouns? also how the collective mind and social/ cultural memory of persian linguistic society can be accounted for and compared with chinese and english? the aim is investigation of semantic c...

Digital Elevation Models (DEM) produced by digital photogrammetry workstations supply important information on land form for cartographers and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) developers and users. Since the accuracy of maps, orthophotographs and GIS databases must be within a specified range for appropriate analysis of the information and subsequent decision making, an accurate DEM is need...

In this paper, we present a corpusbased learning method that can index diverse types of compound nouns using rules automatically extracted from a large tagged corpus. We develop an e cient way of extracting the compound noun indexing rules automatically and perform extensive experiments to evaluate our indexing rules. The automatic learning method shows about the same performance compared with ...

We introduce a new transistor architecture based on inter-band tunneling mechanism as a step towards exploring steep switching transistors for energy efficient logic applications. While there have been reports on tunnel transistors in Si, Ge material system and their alloys, we focus specifically on narrow gap compound semiconductor (CS) systems to develop tunnel transistors. We address the fol...

We describe two methods for Japanese compound verb (JCV) extraction, based on synthesis and pattern matching over the Google Japanese n-gram corpus. We devise a number of filters to boost the precision of the corpus-based method, and evaluate the two methods based on a sample of JCVs occurring in varying frequency bands. We also investigate the distribution of JCV token frequency, and the type ...

INTRODUCTION To reduce continuously increasing costs in drug development, adverse effects of drugs need to be detected as early as possible in the process. In recent years, compound-induced gene expression profiling methodologies have been developed to assess compound toxicity, including Gene Ontology term and pathway over-representation analyses. The objective of this study was to introduce an...

In the last few years nanostructure ZnO is being intensively investigated from the growth control, structural and physical characterization, to device performance. There are now increasing interests in a wide range of ZnO-based ternary compound nanostructures offering even larger possibilities. These compounds can be useful as multi-color light-emitting device, sensors, transparent electrodes, ...
