This paper presents a short review of mining the web for parallel texts with an emphasis on the STRAND system. In Section 2 we start by trying to broadly define what is meant by the word corpus. After that, in Section 3 we give an overview of the World Wide Web as a source for collecting corpora, followed (in Section 4) by a discussion on related copyright issues. We then review some articles t...

In this paper, we report the results of an experiment concerning the eVect of object clauses on phrasal stress of the matrix verb. The presentation of the experiment is embedded in a discussion of the interaction of phrasal stress with movement in German. Section 10.2 includes some background on stress assignment and an introduction to the interaction of syntactic movement with the assignment o...

Neural networks can be classified into recurrent and nonrecurrent categories. Nonrecurrent (feedforward) networks have no feedback elements; the output is calculated directly from the input through feedforward connections. In recurrent networks the output depends not only on the current input to the network, but also on the current or previous outputs or states of the network. For this reason, ...

We provide a theoretical discussion of the scattering cross section of individual subwavelength structures. We show that, in principle, an arbitrarily large total cross section can be achieved, provided that one maximizes contributions from a sufficiently large number of channels. As a numerical demonstration, we present a subwavelength nanorod with a plasmonic-dielectric-plasmonic layer struct...

The purpose of this exploratory literature review on games and education is trifold: First, it serves as the final project report for Social Informatics 668 and presents research which indicates a social dimension of learning (while being engaged with a game), which in consequence directly relates to this class and requirements of this report. Second, it introduces gaming and Gamification withi...

This paper presents a 2-D model of the methane cycle for the Siberian continental margin, including permafrost, hydrates and transient fluxes. Model is described in a differential way compared to the initial version used for another region (section 2). Results are presented (section 3) concerning initial spinup, impact of freshwater hydrology, glacial cycles and upcoming global warming. A discu...

Status of Memo This document is an Internet-Draft. Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. ...

This report sets out to describe indicators on environmental technological innovation and their usefulness for environment-related STI policy and innovation study. Environmental technological innovations consist of new or modified processes, techniques, systems and products that help to reduce environmental damage. This is a new area for indicator research. In this report we will examine how en...

Correction After publication of this work [1] we determined that the one of the experiments used an incorrect combination of primary and secondary antibodies. In the Results and Discussion and in the Methods we referred to an experiment which used a goat anti-14-3-3η antibody. In combination with this antibody, a secondary antibody used in the experiment was incorrect. It would, in fact be labe...

Data Types (ADTs). This architecture is more beneficial for the integrity and consistency of the data. This chapter is devoted to the role of DBMS in new generation GIS architecture and focuses on the manner spatial data can be managed, i.e., stored and analysed, in DBMSs. Two important aspects of DBMS functionality are addressed in detail, i.e., spatial models and spatial analysis. Special att...
