Dressing in Layers: Layering Surface Functionalities in Nanoporous Aluminum Oxide Membranes
No full textLayers of meaning: Nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide membranes can be fabricated with multilayered surface functionalities. Membranes produced by this technique are chemically robust and mechanically stable, and show selectivity towards the transport of small molecules. © 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Dynamic Syntax and dialogue modelling: preliminaries for a dialogue-driven account of syntactic change
No full textThis paper sets out an account of grammaticalization in the framework of Dynamic Syntax (DS) in which the emergence of object clitics in Medieval Spanish and the change in their syntactic positioning in Renaissance Spanish are shown to be driven by production constraints on dialogue. First an account of Latin is introduced, incorporating the DS concept of structural underspecification and update, with short and long-distance scrambling analyzed as two variants of a single process. Then an account of generation for Latin is sketched, with tight coordination of parsing and production. It is then argued that the placement of unstressed pronouns in Latin, the encoding of this strategy as a lexical specification of medieval Spanish clitics, and the re-categorization of Renaissance Spanish clitics so that both specification of the clitic and of the verb are called up together as a single lexical macro, are all seen as varying reflexes of the ever-present relevance constraint of minimizing production costs. The result is a formal model of grammaticalization expressing familiar functionalist insights.Articl

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Grammars as Parsers: Meeting the Dialogue Challenge
No full textStandard grammar formalisms are defined without reflection of the incremental, serial and context-dependent nature of language processing; any incrementality must therefore be reflected by independently defined parsing and/or generation techniques, and context-dependence by separate pragmatic modules. This leads to a poor setup for modelling dialogue, with its rich speaker-hearer interaction and high proportion of context-dependent and apparently grammatically ill-formed utterances. Instead, this paper takes an inherently incremental grammar formalism, Dynamic Syntax (DS) (Kempson et al., 2001), proposes a context-based extension and defines corresponding context-dependent parsing and generation models together with a resulting natural definition of context-dependent well-formedness. These are shown to allow a straightforward model of otherwise problematic dialogue phenomena such as shared utterances, ellipsis and alignment. We conclude that language competence is a capacity for dialogue
