Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMultistep Collocation Block Method for Direct Solution of Second Order Ordinary Differential EquationsJohn Olusola Kuboye, Zurni OmarIn this study, block method of order six for solving second order ordinary differential equations is developed. The method of interpolation of approximated power series and collocation of its second derivative is adopted in the derivation of the method. The developed method is applied in block form to produce approximate solution at five points simultaneously. The stability properties of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 9 · 13 Oct 2015 · 6,565 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Automatic Collocation Extraction from Arabic CorpusAbdulgabbar Mohammad Saif, Mohd J.A. AzizProblem statement: The identification of collocations is very important part in natural language processing applications that require some degree of semantic interpretation such as, machine translation, information retrieval and text summarization. Because of the complexities of Arabic, the collocations undergo some variations such as, morphological, graphical, syntactic variation that constitutes the difficulties of identifying the collocation. Approach: We used the … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 16 Dec 2010 · 8,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNumerical Solution of Fourth Order Linear Ordinary Differential Equations by Cubic Spline Collocation Tau MethodO.A. Taiwo, O.M. OgunlaranProblem Statement: Many boundary value problems that arise in real life situations defy analytical solution; hence numerical techniques are desirable to find the solution of such equations. New numerical methods which are comparatively better than the existing ones in terms of efficiency, accuracy, stability, convergence and computational cost are always needed. Approach: In this study, we developed and applied three … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleContrastive Analysis of Stretched Collocations with Get and Take: Their use and Pedagogical ImplicationsSilvia Molina PlazaThis paper explores the pedagogical implications of contrastive analyses of light verb constructions containing get and take in English and Spanish based on electronic corpora, the British National Corpus (BNC) and the Corpus de Referencia del Español Actual (CREA). The main tenets of collocations from a contrastive perspective-and the points of contact and departure between both languages-are discussed prior to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 23 Jul 2015 · 8,092 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRegister-Specific Collocational Constructions in English and Spanish: A Usage-Based ApproachGloria Corpas PastorConstructions are usage-based, conventionalised pairings of form and function within a cline of complexity and schematisation. Most research within Construction Grammar has focused on the monolingual description of schematic constructions: Mainly in English, but to a lesser extent in other languages as well. By contrast, very little constructional analyses have been carried out across languages. In this study we will … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 13 Jul 2015 · 9,705 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Multiderivative Collocation Method for 5th Order Ordinary Differential EquationsS. J. Kayode, D. O. AwoyemiProblem statement: The conventional methods of solving higher order differential equations have been by reducing them to systems of first order equations. This approach is cumbersome and increases computational time. Approach: To address this problem, a numerical algorithm for direct solution of 5th order initial value problems in ordinary differential equations (odes), using power series as basis function, is proposed … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,928 accessesView PDFCite

Hassani, A. R. FiroozjaeeA meshless approach, collocation discrete least square (CDLS) method, is extended in this paper, for solving elasticity problems and grid irregularity effect is assessed. In the present CDLS method, the problem domain is discretized by distributed field nodes. The field nodes are used to construct the trial functions. The moving least-squares interpolant is employed to construct the trial functions. Some … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,091 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHow Trainee Translators Analyse Lexico-Grammatical PatternsChris Gledhill, Natalie KüblerIn this study, we examine the ability of advanced students of specialised translation to identify and analyse 'generic collocations' in a corpus of specialised multilingual texts (mostly technical or scientific texts in English, French and German). In general, we find that our students attach much importance to frequently-occurring 'clusters' or 'n-grams'. However the students find it difficult to see these … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 15 Jul 2015 · 8,549 accessesView PDFCite
