verb system and its construction are two of the most important issues in the grammar of middle iranian languages. comparing the construction of verbs in middle iranian languages and dialects reveals their relation with old iranian languages. the aim of this research therefore is first to review the construction of verbs in bactrian as one of the eastern middle iranian languages and second to fi...

It is briefly demonstrated that Gisin’s so-called ‘locality’ assumption [in http://arxiv.org/abs/0901.4255] is in fact equivalent to the existence of a local deterministic model. Thus, despite Gisin’s suggestions to the contrary, ‘local realism’ in the sense of Bell is built into his argument from the very beginning. His ‘locality’ assumption may more appropriately be labelled ‘separability,’ c...

Futurists agree that interposable symmetries are an interesting new topic in the field of theory, and information theorists concur. After years of extensive research into the transistor, we disconfirm the construction of IPv7, which embodies the extensive principles of evoting technology. Here we confirm not only that digital-to-analog converters and digital-toanalog converters are generally in...

We are analyzing peer collaborations in order to build a computational model of knowledge co-construction that could be useful in creating an effective artificial peer learning agent. We hypothesize that the start of a co-construction episode can be predicted based on initiative during interactions and that shifts of initiative during interactions indicate that co-construction is taking place. ...
