This differentiation of a general theory of language from universal regularities of linguistic phenomena corroborates Osgood's (1966: 300) conception of theory as "a higher level description", defined as "a set of principles, which economically and elegantly, encompasses the whole set of functions" displayed by human languages.
Besides, pseudogenes may have a whole set of functions related to intracellular immunobiology [ 2, 16, 17].
Also, based on the fact that the average generalization ability computed over the whole set of Boolean functions is 0.5, a very complex set of functions was found for which the generalization ability is lower than for random functions.
It is shown how the use of series expansions, continued fractions, and uniform asymptotic expansions, together with the application of recurrence relations over degrees and orders, permits the evaluation of the whole set of toroidal functions for a wide range of arguments, orders, and degrees.
Therefore, the 152 microarrays used to sample the gene expression space in E. coli represent a very tiny fraction of all the possible configurations necessary to determine the whole set of Boolean functions.
Fuons are defined as an abstraction of a product, based on its essential function and representing the whole set of products that share the parameters for this function's flows.
For a given search strategy, after merging the results for the whole set of queries, we obtain the (step) functions p(E) and f(E) giving, respectively, the cumulative numbers of true and false positives with E-value E or smaller.
Assuming that E is the maximum amount of inforomation that could be tolerated to be disclosed by the whole set of segments, and INF be the function that evaluates the amount of information disclosed by a set of segments, where INF ( D s ) = inf ( d 1 ) × INF ( D s − { d 1 } ) (6). = × i = 1 n inf ( d i ) (7). × be an operator for calculating the sum of two disclosure degrees.
A second turning point came when not only individual functions but a whole set of processes were moved to software.
Fig. 11 Histograms depicting the predicted distribution of damage grades, from no damage (blue) to extensive (orange), among the whole set of buildings surveyed in Beirut, as a function of the rock PGA loading level (0.05 0.5 g).
It is obvious that the ranking error function on the whole set of players should be re-written as begin{aligned} mathrm{ranking; err} = frac{1}{N}sum limits _{i=1}^N mathbb {E}_{jsim mathbb {D}_v; y_{ij}=1} [ell (mathbf{X}_i, y_{ij})].
