Linguistic generalizations over descriptions

On-line Proceedings of the LFG2004 Conference, 2004

LFG encodes linguistic generalizations not in terms of formal relations in a type hierarchy, but in terms of relations between descriptions of structures. An LFG functional description–a collection of equations–can be given a name, and this name can be used to stand for those equations in linguistic descriptions. In computational treatments, these named descriptions are generally referred to as templates. The use of templates allows for linguistic generalizations to be captured. Template definitions can refer to other templates; thus, a ...

Modeling syntactic constraints on anaphoric binding

1990

Syntactic constraints on antecedent-anaphor relations can be stated within the theory of Lexical Functional Grammar (henceforth LFG) through the use of functional uncertainty (Kaplan and Maxwell 1988; Halvorsen and Kaplan 1988; Ksplan and Zaenen 1989). In the following, we summarize the general characteristics of syntactic constraints on anaphoric binding. Next, we describe a variation of functional uncertainty called inside-out functional uncertainty and show how it can be used to model anaphoric binding. Finally, we discuss some binding constraints claimed to hold in natural language to exemplify the mechanism. We limit our attention throughout to coreference possibilities between definite antecedents and anaphoric elements and ignore interactions with quantifiers. We also limit our discussion to intrasententiM relations. 72 1 Phrase Structure. Chicago University Press. Sells, P. 1985. Lectures on Contemporary Syntactic Theories.

Multilingual grammar development via grammar porting

ESSLLI 2003 Workshop on Ideas and Strategies for Multilingual Grammar Development, 2003

In this paper, we investigate using an existing deep Lexical-Functional (LFG) grammar to develop a new one for a typologically similar language. In particular, we ported the Japanese ParGram grammar to Korean with promising results after only two months.

Development of Transgenic Mice Expressing Calcitonin as a Beta-lactoglobulin Fusion Protein in Mammary Gland

Transgenic Research, 2005

Expression of foreign proteins in mammalian milk is becoming a widespread strategy for high-level production of recombinant pharmaceuticals, especially those with the most complex post-translational modifications. A milk-specific ovine beta-lactoglobulin (oBLG) promoter was used to drive expression of recombinant calcitonin in mouse milk. A gene construct was generated, consisting of 10.7 kbp of the oBLG gene including its promoter and 3¢ flanking region with the calcitonin coding sequences inserted in-frame into the oBLG fifth exon. After microinjection, six founder mice transmitted the transgene to their progeny. RT-PCR confirmed mammary-gland specific expression of recombinant mRNA in most transgenic mice and Western blot analysis confirmed expression of chimeric protein. Calcitonin can thus be expressed under the oBLG promoter and regulatory elements in a mammary-gland specific manner.

SPH on GPU with CUDA

Journal of Hydraulic Research, 2010

A Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method for free surface flows has been implemented on a graphical processing unit (GPU) using the Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) developed by Nvidia, resulting in tremendous speed-ups. The entire SPH code, with its three main components: neighbor list construction, force computation, and integration of the equation of motion, is computed on the GPU, fully exploiting its computational power. The simulation speed achieved is one to two orders of magnitude faster than the equivalent CPU code. Example applications are shown for paddle-generated waves in a basin and a dam-break wave impact on a structure. GPU implementation of SPH permits high resolution SPH modeling in hours and days rather than weeks and months on inexpensive and readily available hardware.

GPU-ACCELERATED SPH MODEL FOR WATER WAVES AND FREE SURFACE FLOWS

Proceedings of the …, 2011

This paper discusses the meshless numerical method Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics and its application to water waves and nearshore circulation. In particularly we focus on an implementation of the model on the graphics processing unit (GPU) of computers, which permits low-cost supercomputing capabilities for certain types of computational problems. The implementation here runs on Nvidia graphics cards, from off-the-shelf laptops to the top-of-line Tesla cards for workstations with their current 480 massively parallel streaming processors. Here we apply the model to breaking waves and nearshore circulation, demonstrating that SPH can model changes in wave properties due to shoaling, refraction, and diffraction and wave-current interaction; as well as nonlinear phenomena such as harmonic generation, and, by using wave-period averaged quantities, such aspects of nearshore circulation as wave set-up, longshore currents, rip currents, and nearshore circulation gyres. 1
