abstract By means of the Biswas-Knopoff (1970) transformation, programs for the computation of the Love-wave response to a point source in a flat structure can be modified, quite easily, to compute the response in a sphere.

In the context of Knowledge Discovery in Databases, data reduction is a pre-processing step delivering succinct yet meaningful data to sequent stages. If the target of mining are data streams, then it is crucial to suitably reduce them, since often analyses on such data require multiple scans. In this chapter, we propose a histogram-based approach to reducing sliding windows supporting approximate arbitrary (i.e., non biased) range-sum queries. The histogram is based on a hierarchical structure (as opposed to the flat structure of traditional ones) and it results suitable to directly support hierarchical queries, such as drill-down and roll-up operations. In particular, both sliding window shifting and quick query answering operations are logarithmic in the sliding window size. Experimental analysis shows the superiority of our method in terms of accuracy w.r.t. the state-of-the-art approaches in the context of histogram-based sliding window reduction techniques.

Nucleotide binding triggers a conformational change of the Bateman module of the magnesium transporter CNNM2. The hypomagnesaemia-causing mutation T568I impairs MgATP binding and limits the conformational flexibility of this protein module.

Nanostructured TiO2 films were prepared by a one-step soaking method, which has many advantages, such as simple fabrication, a short reaction time, and fast growth. We have investigated the growth of TiO2 films by the substrate orientation of the soaking method, which had an effect on the nanostructure of the TiO2 films. The TiO2 films prepared by this method had various structures: particulate-flat structure and sphere-flat structure. To determine the effect of the nanostructure of TiO2 films on the photovoltaic characteristics of solar cells, solar cell devices using the inorganic semiconductor Sb2S3 as a sensitizer were fabricated by chemical bath deposition (CBD). Our solar cell device, using TiO2 film with a sphere-flat structure as a photoelectrode, exhibited JSC, VOC, FF, and η values of 11.82 mA / cm2, 0.49 V, 30.27 %, and 1.74 %, respectively.

This study investigates the role of constituency in structuring clauses during spoken interaction. It examines transitive clauses in a corpus of conversational Javanese. Do clauses unfold in a flat structure as each element is produced in real-time, or is there evidence of a hierarchical structure among constituents? By looking at adjacency in the production of clausal elements, with prosody as the key to understanding how speakers organize linguistic elements into larger groups, evidence is found for the emergence of a verb phase structure within clauses of lower discourse transitivity, but a lack of hierarchical structure in clauses of higher discourse transitivity.

I will summarize here some evidence in support of the hypothesis that the child's early combinations of two-word relations may be described simply as processes of concatenation and deletion. This implies that the utterances so produced will represent flat constructions as opposed to hierarchical ones.

The article argues that a particular implementation of phase theory makes it possible to account for seemingly contradictory facts of Hungarian that no other framework has been able to handle. Namely, (a) Hungarian word order is fixed preverbally and free postverbally. The fixed word order of a string is liberated when it is crossed by V-movement. (b) Grammatical phenomena sensitive to c-command provide evidence of both configurationality and nonconfigurationality. The proposal is based on the following assumptions: The derivation of the Hungarian sentence involves a lexical phase (PredP) and a functional phase (a TP or a FocP), both headed by the raised V. When the functional phase is constructed, the silent lower copies of the V and their projections are deleted, which results in the flattening of the phasal domain. Grammatical phenomena indicative of a hierarchical structure are interpreted on the hierarchical domain of the lexical phase, whereas those indicative of a flat structure are interpreted on the flattened domain of the functional phase. The sister constituents of the flattened domain of the functional phase can be linearized in a free order in PF.
