We present two methods to address the problem of sparsity in the FrameNet lexical database. The first method is based on the idea that a word that belongs to a frame is ``similar'' to the other words in that frame. We measure the similarity using a WordNet-based variant of the Lesk metric. The second method uses the sequence of synsets in WordNet hypernym trees as feature vectors that can be used
In 2008-2009 Lund University, Sweden, took part in two European benchmarking projects on eLearning, E-xcellence+ (EADTU) and Benchmarking eLearning exercise2009 (ESMU) as part of the University’s policy for quality assurance and quality enhancement of education. Among the aims were · to adopt, as the first Swedish university, a benchmarking process according to quality criteria of eLearning formul
In this chapter, the modelling framework presented in Chap. 5 will be used to perform vulnerability analyses from three perspectives: global vulnerability, critical components, and geographical vulnerability. Two case studies of two real-world interdependent infrastructure systems are performed; one focusing on an electric distribution system coupled with a water distribution system, and one focus
In order to simplify the hyperelastic characterisation of rubber materials, an extension of the standard hardness test is proposed. A number of indentation depths are chosen for the hardness test and the indentation forces for these depths are recorded. By this modification, hyperelastic constants can be derived from the test, providing more information from the test by a small extra effort. Equiv
Reviews the film, Volver, directed by Pedro Almodóvar (2006). At the beginning of this extraordinary film, women in a small Spanish town tend to the graves of their departed; at the end, what some would consider a female "ghost" nurses a relative with cancer, as a haunting shot of a wooden door with cracks of light slowly turns dark, reminding us that in the blackness that will engulf us at the en
Advances in scheduling theory have given designers of control systems greater flexibility over their choice of timing requirements. This could lead to systems becoming more responsive and more maintainable. However, experience has shown that engineers find it difficult to exploit these advantages due to the difficulty in determining the “real” timing requirements of systems and therefore the techn
In recent years, Vietnam has witnessed its economic slowdown. In the labor market, low wages, poor working conditions, violations of labor law are common; labor disputes and strikes increase and these have been negatively affecting workers' lives. Reason for this situation is that the market economy has developed at a higher level; Vietnamese enterprises have become more and more competitive. In t
