Fortunately, there are other ways of determining the category of words, which we will turn to below. But it is important to note that there are two independent issues here. On the one hand is the issue of how the notion of word category is instantiated in the linguistic system and on the other hand is the issue of how we, as linguists, tell the category of any particular word. As to the first issue, word...

A study on French learning, with university students as participants, by Jones and Plass (2002) supported the proposition that simultaneous visual and auditory presentations can cause the modality effect, which lowers extraneous cognitive load and enhances learning performance. Another study about English learning, also with university students as participants, by Daio et al. (2007) revealed that double modes, such as sound and complete paragraph, and ...

Farrell & Greacen (1966) and Greacen et al. (1968) calculated the pressure required to expand cavities in the soil by spherical and cylindrical deformation respectively. The advancing probe or root was accommodated by compression of the surrounding soil. This was assumed to occur in two distinct regions: an inner zone of compression with plastic failure immediately surrounding the probe, and a zone of elastic compression outside this.

In social networks, since nodes generally belong to di®erent authorities and pursue di®erent goals, they will not cooperate with others unless cooperation can improve their own performance. Thus, how to stimulate cooperation among nodes in social networks is very important. However, most of existing game-theoretic cooper- ation stimulation approaches rely on the assumption that the interactions between any pair of players are long-lasting.

Commons licence. Other institutions recognize that the direct target audience for open data is the development community not the wider public and so require registration. This is a useful strategy for managing updates and changes that could affect content and performance of applications derived from the data. An important consideration when providing open data is the structure and ensuring that it is readable and meaningful (to both people and machines).

There are many critical limits in the material available. For example, Senlis -- which sometimes tends to exaggerate the Taliban and Al Qa'ida challenge as part of its effort to increase aid and NATO/ISAF troop strength -- provides most of the available maps that give some idea of the progress in the fighting and the relative balance of Afghan Central government, Pakistani central government, NATO/ISAF, Taliban, and Al Qa'ida presence and influence. The end result is necessarily long and complex. The full brief runs over 200 pages.

Machine failure In the event of failure, some modern anaesthetic workstations may default to little or no flow, or oxygen only with no vapour. Users must know the default setting for the machine in use. Alternative means of oxygenation, ventilation and anaesthesia must be available. ‘Shared responsibility’ equipment As a member of the theatre team, the anaesthetist will share responsibility for the use of other equipment, e.g. diathermy, intermittent compression stockings, warming devices, cell salvage and tourniquets, but should have received appropriate training.

The hidden part of problem solving. There is a hidden aspect to problem solving: something that happens behind the scenes, something that we currently do not know how to measure or explain. It is remarkable, when you read the biographies of great mathematicians and scientists that they keep saying of their greatest achievements, I was doing something else and the answer to my problem just came to me. 12 This is not only true for the greatest, it seems to be true for every serious research mathematician or scientist. Answers and ideas just seem to come out of the blue.

Economic development professionals can use this strategic framework in a variety of different ways. As a first step, it is useful in mapping current regional economic development activities. In most regions, these activities are spread across a variety of different organizations. Leaders of these organizations often do not communicate effectively with each other. By listing each organization’s major focus and activities on the grid, important patterns and gaps emerge.

The picture of Nilotic visual aesthetics painted here is an analyst’s abstraction. It is founded on the current state of anthropological knowledge concerning the group of peoples which provide the ethnographic focus, peoples who are related linguistically, historically, geographically, and culturally. Further research may reveal significant differences between and amongst the aesthetics of these four peoples. It might, however, also reveal significant similarities between these four peoples and other Nilotic-speaking peoples. The analysis presented here is ahistorical.

This paper does not make assertions about the significance of the support to the sponsor, but rather our focus is on the impact of support to prime MMMFs and its potential to cause investors to perceive that prime MMMF portfolios are less risky than they actually are. It should be noted that a support amount as reported in this paper is not necessarily equivalent to a loss realized by the fund sponsor. Instead, in the case of a security purchase, it is indicative of the loss that would have been realized by the fund sponsor if it had disposed of...

The DBMS field has always focused on capturing, organizing, storing, analyzing, and retrieving structured data. Until recently, there was limited interest in extending a DBMS to also manage text, temporal, spatial, sound, image, or video data. However, the Web has clearly demonstrated the importance of these more sophisticated data types. The general problem is that as systems add capabilities, it is hard to make these additions “cleanly.” Rather, there is a tendency to do the minimum necessary to...

The federal securities laws do not impose any specific obligations on fund directors with respect to oversight of risk management; in general, fund directors’ responsibilities are derived from their general fiduciary duties of care and loyalty and are part of their overall responsibility to oversee the management and operation of the fund. » A board’s focus is on the fund’s risks, which also entails understanding the adviser’s risks that may impact the fund.

In 2008 and 2009, the policy challenge was all about putting out fires. It was a call to action to address a lot of issues, and ICI was deeply involved with regulators and other market participants to sort things out. This year and last, we’ve been in a diˆerent phase. It’s not uncommon after any financial crisis to have a regulatory response, and this one has been broad and deep. Essentially, the sprint of 2008 has turned into a marathon. You have to call on diˆerent skills and diˆerent muscles. So now, perseverance is the order of the day. And what...

In this paper, we use the Moody’s Analytics model of the U.S. economy—adjusted to accommodate some recent financial-market policies—to simulate the macroeconomic effects of the government’s total policy response. We find that its effects on real GDP, jobs, and inflation are huge, and probably averted what could have been called Great Depression 2.0. For example, we estimate that, without the government’s response, GDP in 2010 would be about 11.5% lower, payroll employment would be less by some 8½ million jobs, and the nation would now be experiencing deflation. ...

We will show that in the two-good nonsequential search model prices of the two goods will be randomized and depending on the nature of demand interrelation we expect to nd no correlation between them if the goods are substitutes or independently valued and negative correlation if they are complements. The latter result derives from an inability to charge the highest price for each good simultaneously as at such pair of prices none of the complements will be purchased at all.

A critical point concerning this approach: As project manager, you must set boundaries on the range of tasks and also ensure that there is a complete understanding of task goals. For example, a project team member who is assigned the job of interpreting market test data will need you to tell him what tests to apply and to check conclusions with you before simply incorporating them into the final report. As project manager, you must stay in touch with the team, both to supervise when necessary and to be available if problems do arise.
