We give a forbidden pattern characterization for the class of 5 generalized definite languages, show that the corresponding problem is 6 NL-complete and can be solved in quadratic time. We also show that 7 their syntactic complexity coincides with that of the definite languages 8 and give an upper bound of n! for this measure. 9

Accretion onto compact stellar objects (white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes) from companions in close binaries is the primary beacon for study of the astrophysics of the extreme: from endpoints of stellar and binary evolution, to the physical processes in the extremes of gravity, radiation, or magnetic fi elds. Accretion from the interstellar medium on the presumed still larger populat...

The NOAO Fundamental Plane Survey (NFPS), initiated in 1999, is capitalizing on the wide-field imaging and spectroscopic capabilities at the KPNO and CTIO 4-m telescopes to investigate the structure, contents, and motions of nearby galaxy clusters. e NFPS is led by Mike Hudson (University of Waterloo). Collaborators are John Lucey, Stephen Moore, Stephen Quinney, and Roger Davies (University o...

In this paper I present the CLARIN-NL project, the Dutch national project that aims to play a central role in the European CLARIN infrastructure, not only for the preparatory phase, but also for the implementation and exploitation phases. I argue that the way the CLARIN-NL project has been set-up can serve as an excellent example for other national CLARIN projects, for the following reasons: (1...

ABSTRACT Objectives To determine the additive genetic and environmental contributions to vertical growth of craniofacial structures. Materials Methods The sample consisted 64 untreated monozygotic (44 male, 20 female) 61 dizygotic twins (32 29 female). Lateral cephalograms taken at 15 18 years age were traced analyze sella-nasion–nasal line angle (SN-NL), nasal line–mandibular (ML-NL), sella-na...

This paper proposes an improved predictor-corrector interior-point algorithm for the linear complementarity problem LCP based on the Mizuno-Todd-Ye algorithm. The modified corrector steps in our algorithm cannot only draw the iteration point back to a narrower neighborhood of the center path but also reduce the duality gap. It implies that the improved algorithm can converge faster than the MTY...

This report outlines a machine translation system whose linguistic component is based on principles of Government and Binding. A "universal grammar" is defined, together with pal-ameters of variation for specific languages. The system, written in Prolog, parses, generates, and translates between English and Spanish (both directions).
