Even today, borders often exist only as a concept, rather than the robust entities that politicians present them as.
Whereas reactions of Ti(OR 4 with carboxylic acids lead to a great variety of cluster types, depending on the OR group, the acid, and the Ti(OR 4/acid ratio, 3 the reaction with various phosphonates and acetic acid led to the same cluster type [Ti6O4(O iPr 10 OAc 2(O3PR)2] (1– 7), which therefore appears to be a rather robust structural entity.
These techniques include robust named-entity extraction, slot-filling Frame Agents, vector-based task identification and dialogue act classification, a Bayesian database record selection algorithm, and a natural language generator designed with templates created from real agents' expressions.
Defenders of his pay have said that the stock exchange is not a quasi-public institution, but a robust for-profit entity, bent upon maximizing the money-making impulses of its 1,366 members.
The sociology literature suggests that professions are robust, self-preserving entities, particularly when they are supported by the state [ 106].
Unlike punk, lad or dance culture, geek can take you out of your head into a fantasy environment, but its business institutions – Apple, Marvel/Disney, TED, MMPORGs and a thousand smaller entities – are robust enough to keep a grip on the real world.
"Tracinda believes by taking a long-term approach to solving Chrysler's problems, it can become a robust and lasting stand-alone entity," the company said.
The development of robust methods for chemical named entity recognition, a challenging natural language processing task, was previously hindered by the lack of publicly available, large-scale, gold standard corpora.
Bachir et al. [15] give an excellent overview of the MAC essentials: a contention-based protocol, like CSMA, does not rely on a central entity and is robust to node mobility, which makes it intuitively a good candidate for networks with mobility and dynamicity, but suffers from degraded performance when the traffic load increases.
The coexistence of several distinct stabilising mechanisms is an especially strong indication of a robust and biologically significant stabilised entity.
