Assembly sequencing through graph reasoning : graph grammar rules for assembly planning
… to automating assembly planning utilizing graph grammars. Computational geometric reasoning is used to produce a label rich graph from a CAD model. This graph is then modified by graph grammar rules to produce candidate assembly sequences which are run in conjunction with a tree search algorithm. …

The Design and Implementation of a Prolog Parser Using Javacc
… operator symbols are not present in the grammar rules of the language. Unless the parser generator allows for some flexibility in the specification of the grammar rules, it is very difficult to generate a parser for such text. In this thesis we discuss the existing parsing methods and …

The relationship between foreign language ability and achievement in other school subjects
… Then they were given a set of new vocabulary and grammar rules. They were asked to translate phrases and complete fill-in-the-blank questions, utilizing the new grammar rules. These test scores were then correlated with various sub-sections of the nationally standardized 9th grade <em>Terra …

Applying reflection in object-oriented software design
… into two levels. The base-level defines the grammar rules. The meta-level handles the complex relationships of these rules. Reflection technique is used to discover grammar rules at run-time and determines the parsing order. Third, a dynamic object model was defined for a virtual machine that …

3D Mapping of Islamic Geometric Motifs
… in generating 3D IGP is applied using shape grammar, an effective pattern generation method. The particular emphasis here is to generate the motifs (repeat unit) in 3D using parameterization, which can then be manipulated within 3D space to construct architectural structures. Three unique …

Foundations for reusable and maintainable surface realisers for isiXhosa and isiZulu
… languages with simple and/or well-documented grammars. IsiZulu and isiXhosa, two of the largest South African languages by first language speakers, have not received a lot of attention in the field despite the potential impact of NLG systems for their speakers. The existing NLG systems created …

"Grammar instruction and input processing: The acquisition of Spanish ""ser"" and ""estar"""
… instruction was characterized by explanation of grammar rules followed by written and oral practice. The processing instruction involved grammar explanation and comprehension practice using structured input that induces learners to alter existing processing strategies so as to make correct …

Language acquisition by computer: Learning categories, agreement and morphology under psychological constraints
… parts of categories first, then context-free grammar rules based on these categories, and finally agreemnt rules on top of the context-free grammar rules. CAM duplicates the partial order relations observed by R. Brown (Brown, 1973) in children for the progressive, the plural, the third-person …

A computational design analysis and generation of R.M. Schindler houses
… with the object of creating computational rules to generate designs in Schindler's style. Houses from 1928-1942 with a general L shape were studied to determine the essential qualities of his schematic layouts. In general, the houses were found to have a direct relationship to the qualities …

Automated assembly sequence generation using a novel search scheme for handling parallel sub-assemblies
… The assembly sequences are generated using graph grammar rules that are applied on the graph. The sequences are stored in a search tree and to find an optimal sequence multiple evaluation criteria like time, subassembly stability and accessibility measures are used. This research implements a …

The impact of social media on the development and promotion of Indigenous African Languages: a case study of the Rural University
… the scope of some linguistic devices such as grammar rules and orthography. The study captures the students‟ conversations as they appear in Facebook and WhatsApp for the purpose of analysis (discourse analysis). The findings of the study could benefit the South African society, especially the …

Grammars for generating isiXhosa and isiZulu weather bulletin verbs
… works that document scaled-down 'Bantu' language grammars are also not sufficient to generate weather text. In pursuance of generating weather text in isiXhosa and isiZulu - we restricted our text to only verbs in order to ensure a manageable scope. In particular, we have developed a corpus of …

Students of Spanish and the Spanish preterit and imperfect verb forms
… are to study their textbook and to memorize grammar rules. Generally, the students felt that the Spanish preterit is less difficult than the Spanish imperfect and that more drills, work sheets, and instructor-supplied examples would be beneficial to their learning processes. Those students …

Extraction of Basic Noun Phrases from Natural Language Using Statistical Context-Free Grammar
… from natural language texts using two different grammars: stochastic context-free grammar (SCFG) and non-statistical context free grammar (CFG). Precision and recall were calculated to determine how many precise and correct noun phrases were extracted using these two grammars. Several text files …

A technique for converting NFA's and DFA's to regular expressions in Lex
… behaves. Lex is a software tool used to create grammar rules. A flat file is read as input to lex, and the corresponding C code is output. However, in order to properly format the flat file, the compiler-writer creates the lex expression either on a "hunch," or based on some given set of …
