  ICZN Code - Article 72
If a new nominal species-group taxon is based, in whole or in part, on a published misidentification by an earlier author, the type series consists of or includes the specimen or specimens which had been misidentified, whether the later author refers to them directly or through an illustration or a description (but see Recommendation 73B).
In the case of a nominal species-group taxon based on an illustration or description, or on a bibliographic reference to an illustration or description, the name-bearing type is the specimen or specimens illustrated or described (and not the illustration or description itself).
If two or more nominal species-group taxa are included within a single taxonomic taxon at the same rank in the species-group, their respective name-bearing types remain unchanged (subject to Article 23, the valid name of the taxonomic taxon so formed is that of the nominal species-group taxon with the oldest potentially valid name).

 Simple and Compound Interest Rates   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In the USA, the nominal risk-free rate can be approximated by the rate of US Treasury bills since they are generally considered to have a very small risk.
Compound interest is calculated each period on the original principal and all interest accumulated during past periods.
To make a fair comparison between two interest rates when different compounding periods are used, you should first convert both nominal (or stated) rates to their equivalent effective rates so the effects of compounding can be clearly seen.

Compound nouns are derived from phrases by the deletion of elements like case suffixes, comparative particles, tense suffixes, co-ordinate particles, and predicative elements.
According to one interpretation, nominal compounds are considered as reduced forms of phrases in which the elements like case suffix, comparative particles, tense, particles of quality, co-ordinate particles, etc. are dropped.
Ilampuranar is of the opinion that the casal compounds have to be interpreted as combination of nouns with case suffixes and that in the formation of the compounds the case suffixes are deleted.

Compound interest is the type of interest that is used in practice, and thus it will be used in this manual.
Thus the nominal rate of interest is expressed on an annual basis and this is determined by multiplying the effective rate of interest by the number of interest periods in the year.
The effect of compounding more frequently is that the effective rate of interest, is higher than the nominal rate of interest.

 Chapter 3 section 1
Thus, when the interest periods are given in units other than years, we must convert the annual interest rate into an interest rate per period by dividing the annual interest rate by the number of periods in a year.
For example, if we have a 10 % annual rate compounded daily for two years, then we multiply 2 times 365 to obtain the number of periods and divide the 10% annual rate by 365 to obtain the daily rate.
The formulas for both types of annuities, FVA and PVA, can be derived using this key formula and the mathematical pattern for summing a series of numbers in which any two consecutive terms have a common ratio (geometric series).

 Interpretation of compound nominals using WordNet
The semantic relationship between the nouns in a compound is determined by the choice of heuristic for the compound.
Also, compounds range from completely lexicalized to novel, on-the-fly, context-dependent formations, and from highly idiosyncratic semantically to more or less compositional; compounds may contain several nouns, bracketed ambiguously, and the individual lexical items in them are also frequently ambiguous.
For each compound we decided which senses of the nouns and which heuristic are correct (and hence which noun-noun relationship is the correct one).

 Compositional Interpretation of Compounds   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The analysis of nominal compound constructions has proven to be a recalcitrant problem for linguistic semantics and poses serious challenges for natural language processing systems.
We argue for a compositional treatment of compound constructions which limits the need for listing of compounds in the lexicon.
This brings compound interpretation under the same rubric as other forms of composition in natural language, including argument selection, adjectival modification, and type coercion (Pustejovsky (1991,1995), Bouillon 1995).

 Flag Diacritics and Nominal Compounding
So compounding can loop on the nounroot dictionary itself, and can explore the adjective roots and verb roots; but to be legal in compounds these adjective and verb roots must eventually be nominalized, typically by a derivational suffix.
Compounding involves looping, and that complicates the picture a bit more than the simple example in the book.
Nominalized verb roots could be handled in a manner similar to that for nominalized adjective roots.

The DJIA index number we see everyday is nominal, reported rates of return are nominal, nominal numbers are basically just a dollar taken at face value.
Since January 1960, the DJIA has witnessed a nominal compound annual rate of return of 7.1%, which is respectable and in line with the 13.5x historical average equity price earnings ratio, which implies a 7.4% return on capital.
With the nominal DJIA scoring a 7.1% return, and inflation measuring 4.6%, the real rate of return on the DJIA over this time period is 7.1% less 4.6%, or 2.5%.

In IA this relation was called nn, and a pragmatic strengthening of this relation is the solution to the compound nominal resolution problem.
Just as a vague relation is conveyed by the adjacency of the nouns in a compound nominal, so also is a vague relation conveyed by the adjacency of two segments of discourse.
