Certain properties of indefinite pronouns have received considerable attention in the literature. For instance, negative polarity indefinites such as English any constitute the focus of the bulk of the literature on negative polarity items, the fact notwithstanding that Klima in his seminal 1964 paper did not fail to show that members of other syntactic and semantic categories may be restricted...

Event-related potential (ERP) studies have shown that emotional stimuli elicit greater amplitude late positive-polarity potentials (LPPs) than neutral stimuli. This effect has been attributed to arousal, but emotional stimuli are also more semantically coherent than uncategorized neutral stimuli. ERPs were recorded during encoding of positive, negative, uncategorized neutral, and categorized ne...

Interactions between motion sensors tuned to the same and to opposite directions were probed by means of measuring summation indexes for sensitivities (d') to contrast increments and/or decrements applied to drifting gratings presented in binocular and in dichoptic vision. The data confirm a phenomenon described by Stromeyer, Kronauer, Madsen & Klein (1984, J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 1, 876-884), where...

The approach described in this paper explores the use of semantic structured representation of sentences extracted from texts for multi-domain sentiment analysis purposes. The presented algorithm is built upon a domain-based supervised approach using index-like structured for representing information extracted from text. The algorithm extracts dependency parse relationships from the sentences c...

Although terahertz waves are susceptible to water of crystallization (bound water), we found that the absorption spectra cysteine hydrochloride (LCH) and its monohydrate (LCHM) highly similar. To explain this particular phenomenon, density functional theory (DFT) independent gradient model (IGM) were used obtain vibration mode intermolecular interaction LCH LCHM. The molecular polarities LCHM t...

Given a tree T = (V,E), the second Zagreb index of T is denoted by M2(T ) = ∑ uv∈E d(u)d(v) and the Wiener polarity index of T is equal to WP (T ) = ∑ uv∈E(d(u)−1)(d(v)−1). Let π = (d1, d2, ..., dn) and π′ = (d1, d2, ..., dn) be two different non-increasing tree degree sequences. We write π π′, if and only if ∑n i=1 di = ∑n i=1 d ′ i, and ∑j i=1 di ≤ ∑j i=1 d ′ i for all j = 1, 2, ..., n. Let Γ...

217 Abstract—As silicon devices shrink and their density increases, the low dielectric constant materials instead of SiO 2 film is required. SiOC film as low-k films was deposited by the capacitively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition and then annealed at 300~500 ℃ to find out the properties of the dependence on the temperature and polarity. This study researched the dielectric constant u...

Three types of solvents with different polarity (cyclohexane, toluene and benzene), a nonionic surfactant Span 40 were used to prepare strontium aluminate (SrAl2O4) spinel nanoparticles by a reverse micelle method. The structure of SrAl2O4 nanoparticles was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology and size of the synthesized materials were studied using field emission scanning e...

In this paper, we introduce a novel approach to sentiment polarity classification of citations, which integrates data about the authors’ reputation. More specifically, our method extends the h-index with citation polarities and utilizes it in sentiment classification of citation sentences. Our computational results show that our method yields significant improvement in terms of classification p...
