INHERITANCE SYSTEM [16 records]

Record 1 2013-02-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • The Legislature (Constitutional Law)
  • Electoral Systems and Political Parties
CONT

In hereditary monarchies, the office is passed through inheritance within a family group, whereas elective monarchies are selected by some system of voting.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pouvoir législatif (Droit constitutionnel)
  • Systèmes électoraux et partis politiques
CONT

L'on peut distinguer deux sortes de monarchies électives, l'une dans laquelle l'élection est entièrement libre, l'autre dans laquelle l'élection est gênée à certains égards. La première a lieu lorsque le peuple peut choisir pour monarque celui qu'il juge à propos; l'autre, quand le peuple par la constitution de l'état est astreint d'élire pour souverain une personne qui soit d'une certaine nation, d'une certaine famille, d'une certaine religion [...]

Record 2 2012-07-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Human Diseases - Various
  • Nervous System
  • Genetics
DEF

A disorder of autosomal dominant inheritance, marked by developmental changes in the nervous system, muscles, bones, and skin with café au lait spots, intertriginous freckling, Lisch nodules, and multiple pedunculated neurofibromas over much of the body.

OBS

Its cause is absence of the tumor suppressor neurofibromin, which is coded by a gene on chromosome 17q.

OBS

Neurofibromatosis 1 (generalized neurofibromatosis) accounts for approximately 95% of cases, although multiple additional subtypes (e.g., neurofibromatosis 2, neurofibromatosis 3, etc.) have been described.

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies humaines diverses
  • Système nerveux
  • Génétique
CONT

maladie de von Recklinghausen. Maladie héréditaire autosomique dominante, à pénétrance complète et expressivité variable. Elle est caractérisée par l'association de taches cutanées pigmentaires (dites «taches café au lait»), de tumeurs cutanées et sous-cutanées fibreuses et de neurofibromes siégeant sur le trajet de nerfs périphériques, crâniens (notamment le nerf cochléaire) ou spinaux, et qui peuvent provoquer des troubles neurologiques. Cette affection fait partie des phacomatoses.

OBS

Le terme neurofibromatose a été introduit en 1882 par von Recklinghausen. Sous ce nom, sont regroupées plusieurs affections dont les principales sont : - La neurofibromatose de type 1 (NF1) ou maladie de von Recklinghausen - La neurofibromatose de type 2 (NF2).

DEF

Enfermedad congénita que se caracteriza por la formación de neuromas, deformaciones físicas y una predisposición a desarrollar tumores cerebrales y diversos tipos de cáncer.

Record 3 1998-11-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
DEF

A object representation schema for an attribute and its associated value.

CONT

Some systems are built around single objects or, in any case, do not formally represent multiple objects. In such cases the system represents facts in terms of attribute-value(A-V) pairs rather than triplets. This representation schema works much like an O-A-V schema except that, since it cannot represent multiple objects, it cannot take advantage of inheritance hierarchies.

CONT

The input to ID3 is a list of positive and negative instances of some concept, with each instance represented as a list of attribute-value pairs....

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Schéma de représentation d'objets uniques, distincte des triplets OBAV (objet-attribut-valeur) propres aux représentations d'objets multiples, en ce qu'il ne peut rendre compte des hiérarchies d'héritage.

CONT

Les concepts appris par un système sont le plus souvent décrits dans un formalisme logique plus ou moins expressif, par exemple, en termes de conjonctions ou disjonctions de couples attribut-valeur; beaucoup de concepts réels ne peuvent être caractérisés de manière aussi naïve [...]

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Frame Representation. A frame is a collection of slots and values that is used to represent a piece of knowledge. For example a "person frame" could have slots named : name, sex, age, hair color, eye color, height, and weight. A particular person would then have all the slots filled in with the correct values. Also, most frame-based systems extend this idea to inheritance. For example, a person is an example of a mammal, which has its own slots. A system can then make inferences based on these inherited values(e. g., mammals are warm blooded, therefore "Joe" is warm blooded). Because of the emphasis on CML in Chapter 4, this book sometimes refers to frames as being two dimensional, with rows being individual frames and columns being slots.

This chapter presents a generic inheritance system with exceptions. By generic I mean simple, without frills, but perfectly adequate for everyday use. I have chosen a generic system rather than a "brand name" system such as FRL or NETL because it avoids certain idiosyncratic behaviours.
