before going deeper. In consequence it may seem that the subject is not receiving a thorough treatment, or that too much is being discussed at one time! (This is particularly apparent in the first and second chapters.) To present a thorough understanding of trust, we have proceeded breadth first

of standard formats, or any combination of these factors. In this paper, we present a thorough analysis of the literature on duplicate record detection. We cover similarity metrics that are commonly used to detect similar field entries, and we present an extensive set of duplicate detection algorithms

by first order predicate calculus: "The sentence Floyd broke a glass translates into 3 x (glass (x) A break (Floyd, x)) or, in the notation of restricted quantification ( ] x: glass) (break (Floyd, x)). In either case, the syntactic constituent a glass does not correspond to any semantic constituent; rather, its interpretation forms several discontinuous parts of the logical expression. " [Jackendoff 84, p.52). A principle that should guide the search for a perspi-:uous semantic theory is the Grammatical Constraint: "The Grammatical Constraint says that one should prefer a semantic theory that explains otherwise arbi-trary generalizations about the syntax and the lexicon" [Jackendoff 84, p.51] The first aim of the representation presented in this

and iteration vector of the source statement as a function of the iteration vector of the referencing statement. The paper discusses several applications of the method: conversion of a program to a set of recurrence equations, array and scalar expansion, program verification and parallel program

health consequences of major life events were published subsequently. Since the late 1970s, a variety of new methods of measuring stress have been developed and refined (e.g., A thorough review of each of these topic areas, including measurement and methodological problems, is beyond the scope

sets of issues are discussed in this paper, with a focus on application generators and object-oriented development for the first, and a thorough discussion of retrieval techniques for software components, component composition (or bottom-up design) and transformational systems for the second. We

The paper by Saul Eslake provides a thorough discussion of issues relating to productivity growth in Australia over the 2000s. Following a brief discussion of why productivity is important, the paper provides evidence of a fairly broad-based slowing in multifactor productivity growth across a range

of an endogenous growth model for the results that one can expect in cross-section and time-series regressions involving growth rates and inflation. It was not difficult to forecast that van Norden would give a very thorough discussion of the endogenous growth model itself, and so I address the authors
