Recent experimental evidence suggests that adults incorporate speaker knowledge into the derivation of pragmatic implicatures. Developmental studies report that 5-year-old children also succeed in taking speaker knowledge into account in implicature computation, but 4-year-olds fail. The present study investigated the pragmatic competence of 4year-olds, specifically the ability to incorporate s...

The DNA fragment assembly is an important phase required to obtain complete genomes. Optimization using nature inspired algorithms has been proposed by several authors. We present another nature inspired algorithm based on Particle Swarm Optimization and Differential Evolution. These algorithms are compared using a set of common benchmarks and show that our proposed algorithm has some advantage...

In this study students engage in learning about Big Data in a Knowledge Community and Inquiry curriculum. Using a design based approach, a three week statistics unit was developed to allow students in a 12 grade mathematics course to explore advanced concepts in Big Data, using interdisciplinary themes. Learning trajectories were guided by an Interactive Orchestrated Learning Space (IOLS), insp...

This paper introduces the concept of a psychologically inspired navigation approach for an autonomous mobile system. It presents the implementation of the architecture's basic modules and discusses the higher levels of the control-system that are still under development. An electric wheelchair is used as robotics platform to evaluate the architecture's capabilities. 1 Motivation The representat...

Data mining, also known as knowledge discovery in databases, is the process of discovery potentially useful, hidden knowledge or relations among data from large databases. An important topic in data mining research is concerned with the discovery of association rules. The majority of databases are distributed nowadays. In this paper is presented an algorithm for mining fuzzy association rules f...

Abstract The cultural persistence and political salience of the ‘un/deserving poor’ – moral categorization people in poverty rests, inter alia , on use Christianity to construct a class-inflected position from which judge or categorize lives others. Interpretation claim that poor are ‘always with you’ (Matthew 26:11) plays role this process asymmetrical moralization, specifically through framin...

We propose a framework for redesigning knowledge-intensive business processes that is inspired by the knowledge-based theory of the firm, and based on ideas from cognitive science. It views a business process as a problem-solving task consisting of five phases: recognition, decomposition, planning, action and evaluation. The coordination of these tasks among multiple agents is viewed as distrib...

Abstract This report examined the dimensions of Sufism related to sustainable environmental conservation efforts contained in Syair Nasihat (SN) text. SN is an ancient manuscript about teachings eco-Sufism that written Arabic and Malay. The text are more concerned with natural processes seeking safety themselves their environment. carried out through a process self-dynamics integrative, namely ...

relying on and refuting some viewpoints of the theosophists concerning god as being creator, ghazālī contravenes the similitude between the exalted god and the creatures, since he believes that according to these arguments and the analysis he makes on the causality and the causal necessity, the world cannot be divinely made. he examines this contravention in terms of action, actor, and the comm...

Knowledge is created and transmitted through generations, and innovation is often seen as a process generated from collective intelligence. There is rising interest in studying how innovation emerges from the blending of accumulated knowledge, and from which path an innovation mostly inherits. A citation network can be seen as a perfect example of one generative process leading to innovation. H...
