located in the sentence 'This dress goes well on her!', or in the sentence 'All goes well for Anthony and Peter', or in the sentence 'Tonight Cinderella will go to the ball in a horse-drawn carriage'. In the last sentence there is a certain semantic family resemblance (so to speak) between the three units of 'go', 'ball' and 'horse-drawn carriage'. Indeed, when analysing its definition: a ~ - 'ball' can be charaderized by several traits of meaning (or 'semes'): /movementl + /social! + / temporalf

One of the defining challenges of this era of enterprise computing is just this: How do we find the relevant and pertinent information to do our jobs and make informed business decisions? The answer is at once obvious and elusive. We must harness the computer to help manage and retrieve content at the same rate at which it allows us to create and distribute that content. Intelligent Information Processing Why is it so difficult to effectively mine answers from unstructured content? To illustrate the

Describe what you see and speak from notes. Choose words from the box and your own (les vôtres) and write notes (only keywords, not sentences). Use the WORDBOX. Then make sentences orally. Don’t forget your verbs! You may record yourself on your computer for example. PRESENT BE + ING ou PRESENT SIMPLE? Présent simple : I live, you live, he lives, …… – pour définir une personne ou un objet (métier, goûts, opinion etc…), – pour mentionner une action habituelle ou fréquente, – exprimer une vérité générale

role in many marketing applications, such as defining the market for a product or deciding on the appropriate techniques to employ when targeting a certain group of consumers Purchasing decisions are influenced by opinions and behavior of friends, family or reference group. The bonds within a group of friends are in part cemented by the products they all use. There is also the pressure on each group member to buy things that will meet with the group’s approval: need to know if it is ―in‖ or ―out‖

arg maxj {Fj (T (t))} = arg maxj {Rj (t) · Uj (Tj (t))}. Different scheduling algorithms can be obtained using different utility functions: for instance, the Max-min optimal throughput sharing is approximated with Uj (Tj ) = 1−1/Tj m . By using this family of functions, it is shown in [LB00] that the allocation of throughputs 14 1. Introduction converges to the max-min allocation as m → ∞. The MaxRate algorithm [Hol01] uses the utility function Uj (r) = β · Tj because the user satisfaction

extended practice, and feedback. Compare this with the kind of learning that goes on in the neocortex, which governs analytical and technical ability. The neocortex grasps concepts and logic. It is the part of the brain that figures out how to use a computer or make a sales call by reading a book. Not surprisingly – but mistakenly – it is also the part of the brain targeted by most training programs aimed at enhancing emotional intelligence. When such programs take, in effect, a neocortical approach

to DOING BUSINESS IN TAIWAN SUMMER 2003 Welcome to Taiwan – the Silicon Island Over the past few decades, Taiwan has transformed from a rural country with an agricultural economy to one of the world’s leading producers of semiconductors, computer goods and other high-technology products. Taiwan’s highly educated workforce and the continuous efforts of the government to create an investor-friendly environment, with free and fair competition for both local and international firms, through government
