I begin by raising a problem related to one traditionally found within some of the philosophical literature regarding moral egalitarianism: that of partiality and friendship, except that I raise the issue of partiality within the context of one’s close relationships. From here I propose a solution to the problem based on understanding a close relationship as one in which friends possess the attitude of openness to the development of the relationship. The remainder of the dissertation is concerned with elaborating upon and explaining this conception of friendship and its consequences. In the course of doing this I propose a theory of the self and how we relate to one another, consider the importance of the psychophysical self, explore the notion of mutual recognition, reflect on relationship’s end, and, finally, explore the connections between friendship and play.

  • Glossary of Design Terms
    GLOSSARY OF TERMS Typography - The artistic arrangement of type in a readable and visually appealing way. Typography usually concerns the design and use of various typefaces in a way that helps to better visually communicate ideas. Vector images - Vector-based images (such as those created in Adobe Illustrator) are made up of points, each of which has a defined X and Y coordinate. These points join paths to form shapes, and inside these shapes you can add color fills. Because everything is generated based around this, vectors can be resized to any size without any loss of quality. Adobe Illustrator is a vector-based program. Raster images - (sometimes referred to as bitmap images) are made up of thousands of pixels which determine the color and form of the image. Photos are raster images. Because raster images are made up of a finite amount of pixels, resizing can be tricky. If you make a raster image larger dimensions in Photoshop, the software has to make up data in order to add the size. This results in loss of quality. Adobe Photoshop is a raster-based program. Body Copy - The main part of text in your design or publication – the written website content, the book contents, even this type you’re reading right now, it’s all body copy. Display Type - Type that is designed with the objective of attracting attention. Think of movie titles on posters, article titles in magazines, newspaper headlines, etc. Hierarchy - The visual arrangement of design elements in a way that signifies importance. For example, you might make a title big and bold to ensure it attracts more attention than a small, lightly colored image caption.

The Web provides an extremely large volume of texts in many languages. However, a number of problems have to be resolved in order to create collections (text corpora) which are appropriate for application in natural language processing. In this work, two related problems are addressed: cleaning a boilerplate and removing duplicate and near-duplicate content from Web data.
