In this paper, we present a method for generating French texts conveying temporal information that integrates Discourse Representation Theory (DRT) and Systemic Grammar Theory. DRT is used to represent temporal information and an intermediate semantic level for the temporal localization expressed by temporal adverbial phrases and verb phrases. This representation is then translated into a synta...

Van der Sandt’s algorithm for handling presupposition is based on a “presupposition as anaphora” paradigm and is expressed in the realm of Kamp’s DRT. In recent years, we have proposed a typetheoretic rebuilding of DRT that allows Montague’s semantics to be combined with discourse dynamics. Here we explore van der Sandt’s theory along the line of this formal framework. It then results that pres...

The paper offers a formal account of the discourse behaviour of participles, which to some extent behave like main clauses in having semantically undetermined relations to their matrix clause, but which should nevertheless be integrated into the compositional semantics of complex sentences. The theory is developed on the basis of Ancient Greek participles and offers an account of their syntax, ...

To elucidate the hemodynamic, autonomic, vascular, hormonal, and local mechanisms involved in blood pressure (BP)–lowering effect of dynamic resistance training (DRT) prehypertensive hypertensive populations. The systematic search identified 16 studies involving 17 experimental groups that assessed DRT effects on BP and/or These mainly enrolled women middle-aged/older individuals. Vascular were...

The compulsive use of dopamine replacement therapy (DRT) or dopamine dysregulation syndrome (DDS) is one of the behavioural disturbances reported in some patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and other disorders who are receiving DRT. We draw this phenomenon to the attention of the addiction field as a topic deserving of more systematic study. We outline: the clinical features, epidemiology an...

We propose a way to base Situation Semantic to a computational ground of concurrency and to linear logic. One of the core ideas of Situation Semantics is ecological realism, the idea that meaning arises from the interaction between a cog-nitive agent and his/her environments. We model both the agent and environments as a process and study the interaction as a system of communicating processes. ...

This paper follows and completes the one we presented in the AGILE Conference in 2001. Keeping in mind the operational Demand Responsive Transport we designed and installed in Besançon, France, we aim in this paper to handle the following questions. What are the characteristics and the trends of the urbanized territories, and the resulting mobilities, that would justify the spread of flexible t...

BACKGROUND Due to their similarities in behavior and disease pathology to humans, non-human primate models are desirable to complement small animals as models for the study of age-related dementia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Based on their performance on delayed response task (DRT) tests of memory, aged cynomolgus monkeys were divided into two groups to compare high-performing (n=6) and low-perfor...

This article studies the optimal control of batching equipment in poultry processing industry. The problem is to determine a policy that maximizes long-term average revenue while achieving target throughput. formulated as Markov Decision Process (MDP). developed MDP model captures unique characteristics operations, such as, trade-off between giveaway and Structural properties are derived for sm...

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is an experimental technique ubiquitously used to study electrochemical systems. However, conventional EIS data interpretation through physical and equivalent circuit models challenging because are problem-specific, circuits often just lumped-element analogs lacking meaning. The distribution of relaxation times (DRT) has emerged as a complementary ap...
