In this paper, we draw on data from world languages teachers (English, Spanish and French, in particular) to explore and unpack binaries encountered i... [more]
Decades of research has investigated the heterogeneity of English among speakers of various linguistic and cultural backgrounds, but there still remai... [more]
The design, construction and validation of a compact, portable flow injection analysis (FIA) instrument for underway analysis of phosphate in marine waters is described. This portable system employs gas pressure for reagent propulsion and computer control
This study was performed to test the validity and value of the Schizophrenia Quality of Life Scale as an assessment tool in a Japanese-language version (JSQLS). The subjects for the present study were 55 inpatients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia as def
Dynamic memory management has been an important part of a large class of computer programs and with the recent popularity of object oriented programming languages, more specifically Java, high performance dynamic memory management algorithms continue to b
Extensible markup language (XML), a simplified version of standard generalized markup language (SGML), is designed to enable electronic text interchange in the Internet. XML documents have a rigorously described structure that may be analyzed by computers
Hypermedia data browsing is a mean for improving information access. However, the overload and the heterogeneity of medical information, as well as the multitude of possible navigational paths, turn the consultation of data into a difficult task. We prese
Traditionally, diagnosis and treatment have been seen as two distinct tasks. Consequently, most approaches to computer supported health care focus on one of the two-mostly on diagnosis or rather on the interpretation of measurements which is much better u
Kramers-Kronig transforms (KKT) constitute a powerful tool to validate experimental impedance data. A new algorithm, containing a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) sub-routine, for the numerical calculus of the KKT has been developed. This algorithm is based i
This study used a sentence completion task to assess semantic choice in combat veterans. Twenty-eight combat veterans with (n = 14) and without (n = 14) posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) filled in the final word for 33 incomplete sentences after receiv
We present the building of a discrete event multimodel simulation tool of livestock farming systems, regrouping several mathematical models, and reproducing cattle herd performances through an individual based model. The main goal of this simulator is to
We consider simulating finite automata (both deterministic and nondetenninistic) with context-free grammars in Chomsky normal form (CNTF). We show that any unary DFA with n states can be simulated by a CNF grammar with O(n(1/3)) variables, and this bound
The traditional use of ergodic theory in the foundations of equilibrium statistical mechanics is that it provides a link between thermodynamic observables and microcanonical probabilities. First of all, the ergodic theorem demonstrates the equality of mic
This paper revisits Fredric Jameson's writing on postmodernism and 'periodizing the 1960s' in order to begin to construct a historical framework for popular music of the 1960s, using reference to the Beatles as a case study. As part of this constructio
Intellectual history, as it is practised today, covers a broad spectrum of approaches to the past: discourse studies in the wake of the 'linguistic turn', close textual analysis, intellectual biography, history of books and reading, institutional histor
More's Dialogue concerning Heresies (1529) has furnished many of his contemporary critics with evidence of his manipulative rhetoric and his rigid orthodoxy. A careful reading of the work, however, reveals its structure to depend upon the four master tro
This article argues that overt multiple wh-fronting in languages like Bulgarian consists of moving a single wh-cluster to [Spec, CP]. The formation of wh-clusters is motivated by the assumption that wh-elements can act as landing sites for wh-movement due
