This paper reports on the compilation of a multi-genre maritime domain-specific corpus and the research methods used to analyze it. The corpus was compiled using a combination of manual and automated methods, including web crawling and manual selection of relevant texts. Qualitative and quantitative methods, such as discourse analysis and statistical analysis, were employed to analyze the corpus. The paper describes the background, significance, text scope, principles, and process for compiling the corpus, and explores its applications, including maritime language curriculum development, standardization of maritime language genres, international maritime discourse analysis, term extraction, development of maritime domain-specific machine translation models, and the study of quantitative linguistics in the maritime domain. This study can provide a valuable resource for researchers and educators in the maritime domain and serve as a reference and inspiration for future studies in this field.

Mención Internacional en el título de doctor ; The main hypothesis of this PhD dissertation is that novel Deep Learning algorithms can outperform classical Machine Learning methods for the task of Information Extraction in the Biomedical Domain. Contrary to classical systems, Deep Learning models can learn the representation of the data automatically without an expert domain knowledge and avoid the tedious and time-consuming task of defining relevant features. A Drug-Drug Interaction (DDI), which is an essential subset of Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR), represents the alterations in the effects of drugs that were taken simultaneously. The early recognition of interacting drugs is a vital process that prevents serious health problems that can cause death in the worst cases. Health-care professionals and researchers in this domain find the task of discovering information about these incidents very challenging due to the vast number of pharmacovigilance documents. For this reason, several shared tasks and datasets have been developed in order to solve this issue with automated annotation systems with the capability to extract this information. In the present document, the DDI corpus, which is an annotated dataset of DDIs, is used with Deep Learning architectures without any external information for the tasks of Name Entity Recognition and Relation Extraction in order to validate the hypothesis. Furthermore, some other datasets are tested to evidence the performance of these systems. To sum up, the results suggest that the most common Deep Learning methods like Convolutional Neural Networks and Recurrent Neural Networks overcome the traditional algorithms concluding that Deep Learning is a real alternative for a specific and complex scenario like the Information Extraction in the Biomedical domain. As a final goal, a complete architecture that covers the two tasks is developed to structure the named entities and their relationships from raw pharmacological texts. ; This thesis has been supported by: Pre-doctoral research training scholarship of the Carlos III University of Madrid (PIF UC3M 02-1415) for four years.

The development of public domain software under Federal aegis and support has made possible a broadly competitive field of computer - oriented management information system consulting organizations with high technical competence and the potential for strong user orientation and loyalty. The impact of this assumption of major "front-end costs" by the Federal government has additional spin-off effects in terms of standardization and transportability features as well as reduced capital costs to the user.

We analyze a total of 53,226 Facebook user profiles composed of both personality scores (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism) from the Five Factor model, and explicit interests about 16 genres in each of the above domains. As a result of our analysis, we extract personality-based user stereotypes and association rules for some of the considered domain genres, and infer similarities of personality types related to genres in different domains. ; This work was supported by the Spanish Government (TIN2011-28538-C02) and the Regional Government of Madrid (S2009TIC-1542).

Set in Colonial Northern Nigeria, this book confronts a paradox: the state insisted on its separation from religion even as it governed its multireligious population through what remained of the precolonial caliphate. Entangled Domains grapple with this history to offer a provocative account of secularism as a contested yet contingent mode of governing religion and religious difference. Drawing on detailed archival research, Rabiat Akande vividly illustrates constitutional struggles triggered by the colonial state's governance of religion and interrogates the legacy of that governance agenda in the postcolonial state. This book is a novel commentary on the dynamic interplay between law, faith, identity, and power in the context of the modern state's emergence from colonial processes

Les relations de parenté dans la société romaine et dans la diversité ethnique des provinces de l'Empire ont été le plus souvent offusquées aux yeux des historiens par l'éclat des relations civiques. Et elles n'ont pas éveillé non plus l'attention des anthropologues, longtemps peu attirés par les domaines enclos de l'Antiquité classique. Pourtant, elles ont été une composante efficace de l'organisation sociale. Elles présentaient un échange matrimonial à peu près généralisé, avec, en Orient au moins, des traces pratiques d'un choix préférentiel entre cousins, et se caractérisaient aussi par l'importance des relations entre cousins et entre beaux-frères. A ce niveau se superpose celui des parentés volontaires, la paternité adoptive ou nourricière, pièce traditionnellement importante du système romain, et l'affrairement, attesté comme pratique provinciale.

A new fractional integral operator is used to present a generalized class of analytic functions in a complex domain. The method of definition is based on a Hadamard product of analytic function, which is called convolution product. Then we formulate a convolution integral operator acting on the sub-class of normalized analytic functions. Consequently, we investigate the suggested convolution operator geometrically. Differential subordination inequalities, taking the starlike formula are given. Some consequences of well-known results are illustrated.
Keywords: Analytic function, subordination and superordination, univalent function, open unit disk, fractional integral operator, convolution operator, fractional calculus.

We study the supersymmetric sources of (multi-) domain-wall and (multi-) instanton solutions of generic N=1, d=4 supergravities, that is: the worldvolume effective actions for said supersymmetric topological defects. The domain-wall solutions naturally couple to the two 3-forms recently found as part of the N=1, d=4 tensor hierarchy (i.e. they have two charges in general) and their tension is the absolute value of the superpotential section L. The introduction of sources (we study sources with finite and vanishing thickness) is equivalent to the introduction of local coupling constants and results in dramatic changes of the solutions. Our results call for a democratic reformulation of N=1,d=4 supergravity in which coupling constants are, off-shell, scalar fields. The effective actions for the instantons are always proportional to the coordinate orthogonal to the twist-free embedding of the null-geodesic (in the Wick-rotated scalar manifold) describing the instanton. We show their supersymmetry and find the associated supersymmetric (multi-) instanton solutions ; This work has been supported in part by Spanish Ministry of Science and Education grants FPA2006-00783 and FPA2009-07692, the Comunidad de Madrid grant HEPHACOS P-ESP-00346 and by the Spanish Consolider-Ingenio 2010 program CPAN CSD2007-00042 ; Peer reviewed

In the complex and interconnected post 9/11 world the roles and functions of intelligence have evolved beyond being a secret capability of governments focused on national security needs. Intelligence has become recognised as a critical function necessary to support decision making across the full breadth of government and corporate activity. The concept of an intelligence community being purely national security centric and bounded by secrecy has become limited. Intelligence in support of decision making has become a far broader domain than previously believed. This paper investigates the degree of intelligence embedded‐ness across government agencies and departments at the federal, state and local levels. Findings reveal that in excess of 75 discrete intelligence capabilities were identified, categorized by theme before being stratified into a three tier hierarchal intelligence domain map. Many of these categories were not in support of national security per se, but rather in support of broader government decision making.

Le degré d'expansion respective de l'obroket de labarščinaa une importance énorme dans l'histoire du servage en Russie » écrivait V. I. Semevskij en 1882. Rien n'a, depuis, restreint la portée de cette affirmation, postulat fondamental de toute recherche sur le régime agraire en Russie avant 1861. Redevances en espèces (obrok), en travail (barščina) ou en nature : chacune de ces formes implique un type différent de domaine, et exerce une influence sur la structure de la communauté rurale et les principaux aspects de son activité sociale, sur l'organisation et l'administration de la propriété, sur le degré de dépendance des serfs et la nature de leurs occupations.En effet, la répartition géographique de l'obroket de labarščinaet leur évolution sont deux aspects essentiels du problème des redevances, étroitement lié à la question, longuement débattue et toujours actuelle, des voies du développement économique et social de la Russie.

This book analyses the role of the national state, as organiser of its territory and governor of its infrastructure, since it emerged in the 19th Century. It presents a cross-time analysis of eight emerging democratic states during the transport revolution, focussing on railway systems. The book explores how the intervention state regulated society in Europe and Australia since the Industrial Revolution. The authors conclude that these state capacities are still governing the public domain, also at the level of the EU.

Integrating Public Domain Data to Construct Community Profiles

Objective: This article investigates whether within-domain and cross-domain buffering by family and work resources can help mitigate the negative mental health effects of work-to-family conflicts (WFC) and family-to-work conflicts (FWC). Background: Most literature on the work–life interface stresses the need to maintain employees' health and well-being by preventing the emergence of work–family conflicts. Since such conflicts tend to be an unavoidable concomitant of role expansion, we aim to put forward the debate on the conditions that might prevent their negative health consequences instead. Method: Fixed-effects linear regression analyses were applied to a sample of 4,920 employees in a three-wave employer–employee panel study in Germany. Using interaction analyses, we tested within-domain and cross-domain buffering of family (social support and relative bargaining power within partnerships) and work (job resources, support from direct supervisors or co-workers, formal and informal organizational support) resources in the relationship between strain-based and time-based WFC and FWC and mental health (SF-12). Results: Family resources and work resources somewhat mitigated the health risks of WFC and FWC. Overall, within-domain resources were more effective than cross-domain ones. Conclusion: It is important to consider resources in both the family and the work domains to determine the most effective ways of preventing the negative mental health consequences of work–family conflicts.
