Annual variations in radial increment of tree stems are commonly used as proxies for reconstruction of climates of the past, which in turn helps to predict future forest growth in response to global warming. Especially for the continental interior of Alaska a temperature rise of 1.4 °C over

We examine the possible use of Description Logics as a knowledge representation and reasoning system for high-level scene interpretation. It is shown that aggregates composed of multiple parts and constrained primarily by temporal and spatial relations can be used to represent high-level concepts

which the primary object is located the reference object. In order to use projective prepositions, the speaker has to establish a reference frame (that is, an orientation) that deter-mines the direction in which the pri-mary object is located in relation to the reference object. The reference frame

The basic motivation of this work is to make formal theory developments with machine-checked proofs accessible to a broader audience. Our particular approach is centered around the Isar formal proof language that is intended to support adequate composition of proof documents that are suitable

verb meaning and verb behavior within a cluster analysis and (2) to investigate the required technical parameters of a cluster analysis with respect to this specific linguistic task. The clustering methodology is developed on a small-scale verb set and then applied to a larger-scale verb set including

Making use of latent semantic analysis, we explore the hypothesis that local linguistic context can serve to identify multi-word expressions that have noncompositional meanings. We propose that vector-similarity between distribution vectors associated with an MWE as a whole and those associated

This paper provides a conceptual framework of multilateral bargaining in a bilaterally oligopolistic industry to analyze the motivations for horizontal mergers, technology choice, and their welfare implications. We first analyze the implication of market structure for the distribution of industry
