In this paper we explain how we annotated subordinators in the Turkish Discourse Bank (TDB), an effort that started in 2007 and is still continuing. We introduce the project and describe some of the issues that were important in annotating three subordinators, namely karşın, rağmen and halde, all of which encode the coherence relation Contrast-Concession. We also describe the annotation tool.

Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are the flaming topic of research. VANET comprises of moving vehicles communicating with each other. VANETs involve three types of communication: vehicle to vehicle (V2V), vehicle to roadside (V2R) or vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) communication. VANETs consist of some vital components: RSU, OBU and Trusted Authority. Among them Roadside units (RSUs) are one ...

Die Abteilung Technische Dienstleistung und Beratung (TDB) der MAN Nutzfahrzeuge Gruppe erstellt unter anderem Herstellerbescheinigungen/Bestätigungen/Freigaben und Genehmigungen für Fahrzeugumbauten. Diese Bestätigungen werden weltweit an Serviceniederlassungen, Werkstätten, TÜV/DEKRA, Aufbaufirmen, Kunden, uvm. versendet. Diese sind verbindliche Dokumente und haben wesentlichen Einfluss auf Z...

Abstract In this work, we investigate for finding exact solitary wave solutions of the (2 + 1)-dimensional Zoomeron equation and the Tzitzeica–Dodd–Bullough (TDB) equation by using the direct algebraic method. The direct algebraic method is promising for finding exact traveling wave solutions of nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics. The competence of the methods for constructin...

In this paper, the METU Turkish Discourse Bank Browser, a tool developed for browsing the annotated annotated discourse relations in Middle East Technical University (METU) Turkish Discourse Bank (TDB) project is presented. The tool provides both a clear interface for browsing the annotated corpus and a wide range of search options to analyze the annotations.

Earlier studies aimed at defining protective immunity induced by Mycobacterium bovis BCG immunization have largely focused on the induction of antituberculosis CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell responses. Here we describe a vaccine consisting of a BCGΔmmaA4 deletion mutant formulated in dimethyl dioctadecyl-ammonium bromide (DDA) with d-(+)-trehalose 6,6'-dibehenate (TDB) (DDA/TDB) adjuvant (A4/Adj) tha...

Background: Adequate pain management is an essential entity in reconstructive surgery to prevent adverse physiological and psychological outcome. Transdermal buprenorphine has been mostly studied chronic cancer related but hardly studies acute are available. Aims Objectives: The aims of this study were compare post-operative relief achieved by transdermal IV paracetamol terms safety efficacy. S...

This paper will introduce a procedure that we call pair annotation after pair programming. We describe initial annotation procedure of the TDB, followed by the inception of the pair annotation idea and how it came to be used in the Turkish Discourse Bank. We discuss the observed benefits and issues encountered during the process, and conclude by discussing the major benefit of pair annotation, ...
