Relaxing the assumptions

This model relaxes the assumption, crucial to slab methods, that the stresses are uniformly distributed through the thickness of each material layer. Thus, our model is able to predict the through-thickness velocity and stress distributions.

In this paper, we introduce the concept of generalized relaxed α-pseudomonotonicity for vector valued bi-functions. By using the KKM technique, we obtain some substantial results of the vector equilibrium problems with generalized relaxed α-pseudomonotonicity assumptions in reflexive Banach spaces. Several examples are provided to illustrate our investigations.

In a recent paper, Ouyang et al. proposed a (Q,r,L) inventory model,with defective items in an arrival lot. The purpose of this study is to generalize Ouyang et al.’s model by allowing setup cost (A) as a decision variable in conjunction withorder quantity (Q), reorder point (r) and lead time (L). In this study, we first assumethat the lead time demand follows a normal distribution, and then relax this assumption by only assuming that the first two moments of the lead time demand are given. For each case, an algorithm procedure of finding the optimal solution is developed.

Journal writing is a technique that has been promoted by educators in many fields, including nursing, counseling and management, as a means of facilitating reflective practice and stimulating critical thinking (for a review see Bain et al., 1999). In the field of teacher education reflection is widely acknowledged and promoted as a criti- cal element in the professional development of teachers (Zeichner, 1992; Calderhead & Gates, 1993).

The public and government need assurance that the desired outcomes and results are being achieved. Performance measures will be used to assess whether or not established outcomes (provincial and local) and policies have been met, and the relative success of government initiatives and programs. Goals, objectives, and performance targets will be jointly developed and continuously improved with other ministries, levels of government, the regulated community, NGO’s, aboriginal groups and the general public and will be enshrined in legislated government wide plans.

This paper examines unsupervised approaches to part-of-speech (POS) tagging for morphologically-rich, resource-scarce languages, with an emphasis on Goldwater and Griffiths’s (2007) fully-Bayesian approach originally developed for English POS tagging. We argue that existing unsupervised POS taggers unrealistically assume as input a perfect POS lexicon, and consequently, we propose a weakly supervised fully-Bayesian approach to POS tagging, which relaxes the unrealistic assumption by automatically acquiring the lexicon from a small amount of POS-tagged data....

Statistical ranking methods based on centroid vector (profile) extracted from external knowledge have become widely adopted in the top definitional QA systems in TREC 2003 and 2004. In these approaches, terms in the centroid vector are treated as a bag of words based on the independent assumption. To relax this assumption, this paper proposes a novel language model-based answer reranking method to improve the existing bag-ofwords model approach by considering the dependence of the words in the centroid vector. ...

In order to clarify the assumptions underlying our empirical strategy, we present a model of wages as it relates to the decision to obtain an MBA. The decision to obtain an MBA is modelled similarly to the labor market program participation models discussed in Heckman et al. (1999). The purpose of the model is to clarify the assumptions under which the fixed effects estimate of the returns to an MBA can be appropriately interpreted as the treatment on the treated.

There are many changes to this chapter from the 3 edition. 1NF is now defined formally. Functional dependencies are now covered in this chapter, instead of Chap- ter 6. The reason is that normalization provides the real motivation for functional dependencies, since they are used primarily for normalization. We have described a simplified procedure for functional dependency inference based on attribute closure, and provided simplified procedures to test for normal forms.

In this paper, we focus our attention on providing a formal framework for expressing data mining tasks in- volving time granularities, and on proposing efficient algo- rithms for performing such tasks. To this end, we introduce the notion of an event structure. An event structure is essen- tially a set of temporal constraints on a set of variables representing events. Each constraint bounds the distance between a pair of events in terms of a time granularity.

The PDC control unit performs a system test after the ignition has been turned on. The parking aid is ready for operation on successful completion of the system test. The parking aid is activated automatically by engaging reverse gear. A delay of approximately 1 second is programmed on both automatic and manual transmission vehicles. The purpose of the delay in activating the PDC when engaging reverse gear on vehicles with an automatic transmission is to prevent unintentional activation of the PDC when passing through the R-position when changing the drive stage.

What does a Distributer do? While Distributers are invisible to most consumers their role is to bridge the geographical gap between producer and retailer. Supermarkets and department stores couldn't exist without a complicated distribution system, capable of moving enormous amounts of product from point A – the producer to point C – the consumer. Distributors add significantly to the cost of the products we buy but they deliver a valuable service in providing access to the marketplace so producers can focus their energies on manufacturing the product.

The business view focuses on things that impact the profit and loss (P&L) accounting of an organization. This includes sales, profit, expenses, competition, and costs. Everyone should understand their P&L: it’s what pays their salaries or their contracts. When engineering teams are unaware of how their business works, many decisions made by management will appear illogical or stupid. Thus, it’s in the interest of whoever’s responsible for business planning to help others understand their reasoning.
