Categories are not invariant. This paper attempts to explore the dynamic nature of semantic category, in particular, that of fashion language, based on the cognitive theory of Dawkins’ memetics, a new theory of cultural evolution. Semantic attributes of linguistic memes decrease or proliferate in replication and spreading, which involves a dynamic development of semantic category. More specific...

Introduction: Resin modified glass-ionomer cement (RMGI) is prepared by  manual mixing of powder and liquid. Different mixing ratios influence on the RMGI properties. The aim was to compare the effect of different mixing ratios on the microleakage of RMGI. Materials &Methods: In this in vitro study, 60 Class V cavities (3×2×1.5 mm) with the gingival margin of 1 mm apical to ...

in this study, effect early age feed restriction and thermal conditioning on growth ,carcass characteristics broiler chickens subjected to heat stress was evaluated. three hundred chicks (cobb500) were randomly divided into four equal groups as treatments including thermal conditioning group (tc), feed restriction-thermal conditioning group (tcfr), feed restriction group (fr) and control group ...

effects of intra-central amygdala administration of l-arginine, a nitric oxide precursor, and ng-nitro-l-arginine methyl-ester (l name), a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, on the morphine-induced sensitization and also on the expression of morphine-induced place conditioning in rats were studied. subcutaneous (s.c.) administration of morphine (2.5, 5 and 7.5 mg/kg) induced place conditioning. r...

this review based upon studies searched from the major scientific libraries has the objective of clarifying what is fitness training in modern days, the implications that it has on health in both youth and elderly and finally discuss fitness training practical implications.the prisma statement was partially adopted and a number of 92 items were selected, according to the inclusion criteria. res...

Air conditioning refrigerant R134a has value of global warming potential (GWP) 1300, which is much higher than MAC Directive (GWP below 150) passed in July 2006. This prompted a search for alternative refrigerant with GWP value less than 150. R1234yf is a new refrigerant which has lower GWP value of 4. Effect of blower speed has been compared and flammability issue of R1234yf has been addre...

Main restraints curbing a deep integration of Semantic Sensor Networks with complex and articulated architectures, basically reside in too elementary allowed discovery capabilities. Several studies agree advanced querying and retrieval mechanisms are needed to truly fulfill the potential of the SSN paradigm. This paper presents a novel SSN framework, supporting a resource discovery grounded on ...

Most people do not interact with Semantic Web data directly. Unless they have the expertise to understand the underlying technology, they need textual or visual interfaces to help them make sense of it. We explore the problem of generating natural language summaries for Semantic Web data. This is non-trivial, especially in an open-domain context. To address this problem, we explore the use of n...
