The fact patterns

The increased speed and mobility of business activities and cross-border transactions resulting from internet usage has particular implications for applying transfer pricing methods and for taxing business profits. This book presents a two-part look at existing OECD positions on these issues.

Many disorders exhibit the feature of locus heterogeneity, which refers to the fact that mutations in different genes can cause phenotypically similar disorders. For example, osteogenesis imperfecta (Chap. 357), long QT syndrome (Chap. 226), muscular dystrophy (Chap. 382), homocystinuria (Chap. 358), retinitis pigmentosa (Chap. 29), and hereditary predisposition to colon cancer (Chap. 87) or breast cancer (Chap. 86) can each be caused by mutations in distinct genes.

The recommendations are based on four guiding principles. First, PSPs should perform specifi c assessments of the risks associated with providing internet payment services, which should be regularly updated in line with the evolution of internet security threats and fraud. Some risks in this area have been identifi ed in the past, for example by the Bank for International Settlements in 2003 6 or the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council in 2005 and 2011.

Popular belief is that urbanisation has increased substantially in the new South Africa, when, in fact, patterns of internal migration have remained static since the late 1970s. Internal migration patterns have been under-researched since the easing of restrictions in 1990. This study fills the gap drawing on census and other secondary data.

Khurasani (Guizotia abyssinica spp.) is considered as an important traditional minor oil seed crop in India, which is mainly cultivated in hilly and tribal areas. Though the crop has high oil content and wide range of utility, very less attention is being paid towards the judicial utilization of the crop by the growers. So, considering this fact the present research work was carried out in Jawhar and Mokhada tahsils of Palghar district of Konkan region of Maharashtra state to know the utilization pattern of Khurasani crop by the growers.

Automation, the use of robots in industry, has not progressed with the speed that many had hoped it would. The forecasts of twenty years ago are looking fairly silly today: the fact that they were produced largely by journalists for the benefit of boardrooms of accountants and MBA's may have something to do with this, but the question of why so little has been accomplished remains.

The term “design patterns” sounds a bit formal to the uninitiated and can be somewhat off-putting when you first encounter it. But, in fact, design patterns are just convenient ways of reusing object-oriented code between projects and between programmers. The idea behind design patterns is simple-- write down and catalog common interactions between objects that programmers have frequently found useful.

Finally, mobile element based markers are expected to be co-dominant. However, despite the fact that they are extremely useful for population genetics, all mobile element based markers have the same drawback: difficultly of data interpretation and uncertainty about the true nature of the polymorphism. Specifically, the question may arise as to whether differences in banding patterns are due to the absence or presence of retrotransposons, or are caused by some other mechanism, e.g. indels or restriction site loss.

There are conditions to be met without which an experience cannot come to be. The outline of the common pattern is set by the fact that every experience is the result of interaction between a live creature and some aspect of the world in which he lives. A man does something; he lifts, let us say, a stone. In consequence he undergoes, suffers, something: the weight, strain, texture of the surface of the thing lifted. The properties thus undergone determine further doing. The stone is too heavy or too angular, not solid enough;...

In a culture like ours, long accustomed to splitting and dividing all things as a means of control, it is sometimes a bit of a shock to be reminded that, in operational and practical fact, the medium is the message. This is merely to say that the personal and social consequences of any medium-- that is, of any extension of ourselves -- result from the new scale that is introduced into our affairs by each extension of ourselves, or by any new technology. Thus, with automation, for example, the new patterns of human association tend to eliminate jobs, it...

This paper presents six novel approaches to biographic fact extraction that model structural, transitive and latent properties of biographical data. The ensemble of these proposed models substantially outperforms standard pattern-based biographic fact extraction methods and performance is further improved by modeling inter-attribute correlations and distributions over functions of attributes, achieving an average extraction accuracy of 80% over seven types of biographic attributes.

In a new approach to large-scale extraction of facts from unstructured text, distributional similarities become an integral part of both the iterative acquisition of high-coverage contextual extraction patterns, and the validation and ranking of candidate facts. The evaluation measures the quality and coverage of facts extracted from one hundred million Web documents, starting from ten seed facts and using no additional knowledge, lexicons or complex tools.

In fact, the ability to handle idiosyncratic behavior of phrases should be a criterion for any theory of lexical representation. Due to the huge number of such phrases in the English language, phrase representation must be amenable to parsing, generation, and also to learning. In this paper we demonstrate a semantic representation which facilitates, for a wide variety of phrases, both learning and parsing.

After China‟s major economic reform in 1978, there was a large number of Chinese people migrated abroad. Thailand is one of their most popular destination in Southeast Asia alongside Myanmar, Singapore, Vietnam and Malaysia. At the present, the number of “New” Chinese migrants is still increasing, and expected to be more in the future. This fact draws the attention of this paper to discuss the differences of Chinese migration pattern to Thailand between the previous generation and the present one.

The most important fact related with fluid motion is to understand the fluid patterns, and the flow structure ‐ vortices, recirculation zones, high mix regions, poor mix regions, calm regions, to name a few. Moreover, most of the flows have turbulent characteristics and turbulence remains one of the unsolved problems in physics. No one knows how to obtain stochastic solutions to the well‐posed set of partial differential equations that govern turbulent flows.

THE EFFECTS OF EDUCATION ON ECONOMIC GROWTH: THE CASE OF BOTSWANA AND SOUTH AFRICA (1970-1994) I see four possible explanations for the pattern of results. First, it may be that I have mis-measured the extent of Tiebout choice by focusing on a district-level choice index where in fact the relevant measure of parents’ exit options is at the school level. Second, parents may have no concern whatever for the peer group, and may choose schools purely for their effectiveness.

We now live in a world where more intense weather, patterns of droughts and floods are becoming commonplace, as are overexploited fish stocks, destroyed forests and dried up rivers. The era of post-war consumerism, where humanity lived in a world rich in resources that were thought boundless, is closing as ecological limits become apparent around the world. We have to face the fact that our consumption of everyday products has a global impact....

Despite evidence to the contrary, chemical industry critics of epidemiologic studies linking pesticides to major diseases argue that they are of limited value because of their reliance on records and study participants’ memory, among other issues. In fact, the correlation of patterns of chemical use with an effect is difficult to establish in epidemiology and therefore may underestimate hazard effects. When a correlation is established it raises serious concern.
