Riloff, Ellen M. | Recognizing and organizing opinions expressed in the world press | Tomorrow's question answering systems will need to have the ability to process information about beliefs, opinions, and evaluations-the perspective of an agent. Answers to many simple factual questions-even yes/no questions-are affected by the perspective of the information source. For example... | Opinions; Opinion recognition; World press; MPQA project; Multiple perspectives | 2003 |

Lupton, John Mark | Recombination kinetics in wide gap electroluminescent conjugated polymers with on-chain emissive defects | We analyze the experimental dependence of temporally and spectrally resolved electroluminescence (EL) from polyfluorene-based light-emitting diodes on electric field and temperature. The blue band in the EL spectrum is caused by emission from the polymer backbone, while the low-energy green emission... | Recombination kinetics; On-chain emissive defects; Wide gap; Blue-emitting; Green-emitting; Excitons | 2003 |

Stevens, Kenneth | Relative timing | Abstract-Relative timing (RT) is introduced as a method for asynchronous design. Timing requirements of a circuit are made explicit using relative timing. Timing can be directly added, removed, and optimized using this style. RT synthesis and verification are demonstrated on three example circuits,... | | 2003 |

Schmidt, Meic H. | Repeated operations for infiltrative low-grade gliomas without intervening therapy | Progression of infiltrative low-grade gliomas (LGGs) has been reported previously. The limitations of such studies include diverse histological grading systems, intervening therapy, and the lack of histological confirmation of malignant tumor progression. The aim of this study was to determine tumo... | Infiltrative low-grade gliomas; LGG; Tumor progression; Repeated operations; Tumor recurrence | 2003 |

Farmer, Colleen G. | Reproduction: the adaptive significance of endothermy | A central theme raised by Angilletta and Sears is that the energetic cost of endothermy is too enormous to be offset by the benefits that thermogenesis could provide for reproduction. Angilletta and Sears suggest that parents would have been better off producing additional offspring with the energy ... | Parental care; Incubation; Metabolism | 2003 |
