Determine scope

A formalism will be presented in this paper which makes it possible to realise the idea of assigning only one scope-ambiguous representation to a sentence that is ambiguous with regard to quantifier scope. The scope d e t e r m i n a t i o n results in e x t e n d i n g this representation with additional context and world k n o w l e d g e conditions. If there is no scope determining information, the formalism can work further with this scope-ambiguous representation. Thus scope information does not have to...

An algorithm for generating the possible quantifier scopings for a sentence, in order of preference, is outlined. The scoping assigned to a quantifier is determined by its interactions with other quantifiers, modals, negation, and certain syntacticconstituent boundaries. When a potential scoping is logically equivalent to another, the less preferred one is discarded. The relative scoping preferences of the individual quantifiers are not embedded in the algorithm, but are specified by a set of rules.

The Directive's main aim is to ensure that the authority giving the primary consent (the 'competent authority') for a particular project makes its decision in the knowledge of any likely significant effects on the environment. The Directive, therefore, sets out a procedure that must be followed for certain types of project before they can be given 'development consent'. This procedure, known as Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), is a means of drawing together, in a systematic way, an assessment of a project's likely significant environmental effects.

Owners contract with sculptors who may then employ contractors and subcontractors. Contracts define terms, conditions and responsibilities of various parties. This phase gives both sides a chance to negotiate until a mutually agreeable contract is signed. An attorney can be helpful in this phase. Standard contract considerations between the artist and owner typically include scope of services, liability, insurance, indemnification, payment schedules and timeline. In addition, the owner-sculptor contract should itemize maintenance obligations of both parties. ...

SCOPE To determine the slump loss of freshly mixed Portland Cement Concrete over a period of time. This method is typically used for drilled shaft concrete. It may also be applicable in special circumstances as deemed necessary by the RCE. The purpose of this test is to ensure that drilled shaft concrete has a slump within the range specified in Subsection 701.2.12.3 of the 2007 edition of SCDOT’s Standard Specifications For Highway Construction when placed and maintains a minimum slump as specified in Subsection 712.4.13.

There are no recent statistics determining the size and scope of the inbound incentive travel market. The last estimates were provided in a report commissioned by the British Tourist Authority and partners in 1996, which calculated the value of inbound and domestic incentive travel (excluding air travel) to be in the region of £165 million per year. The fact that hotels do not differentiate between conference and incentive travel group bookings, makes it difficult to track occupancy levels.

Clearly, a straightforward implication of wages being determined by sectoral conditions would be that industry-level contracts offer little scope for adjustments of individual wages to firm-specific demand shocks, even if the latter are of permanent nature. However, as demonstrated in Section 2.2, industry-level contracts do not necessarily provide an obstacle to the adjustment of wages to local conditions, as recent decentralisation tendencies in Germany have introduced the option of making such wage adjustments.

Once the objective and scope are decided, it is necessary to determine what activities are required to be carried out to meet the objective. The dependencies between these activities can then be determined, which in turn allows resources and timescales to be estimated. This needs to be done for the whole project (project plan), and then in more detail for the next stage of the project (stage plan). This step is concerned with the overall project. The project schedule is not intended to direct resources to specific activities on certain dates.
