The book gives a good overview of the multiple methods used and the problems involved in the creation and the annotation of a corpus. It also presents proposed applications for these corpora. The authors do not relate their own work, but...

We briefly review the history of Mach’s principle and discuss its significance in the light of modern physics.

Where are the atoms in complex crystals such as quasicrystals or periodic crystals with one hundred or more atoms per unit cell? How did they get there? The first of these questions has been gradually answered for many materials over the quarter-century since quasicrystals were discovered; in this paper we address the second. We briefly review a history of proposed models for describing atomic ...

Mixed-valence compounds were recognized by chemists more than a century ago for their unusual colours and stoichiometries, but it was just 40 years ago that two seminal articles brought together the then available evidence. These articles laid the foundations for understanding the physical properties of such compounds and how the latter correlate with molecular and crystal structures. This intr...

In this article, the focus of which is research with children, Peter Allmark considers ethical issues in relation to both quantitative and qualitative research. Guidelines on the ethical conduct of research with children focus primarily on issues to do with quantitative research (e.g. RCPCH 2000 ). For this reason, this article tries to draw out points of particular importance to qualitative re...

— In this research paper we are briefly presenting current major web problems and introducing semantic web technologies with the claim of solving existing web's problems. Furthermore we are describing Ontology as the main building block of semantic web and focusing on its contributions to semantic web progress and current limitations.
