We prove that the set of properties describable by a uniform sequence of rst-order sentences using at most k + 1 distinct variables is exactly equal to the set of properties checkable by a Turing machine in DSPACEn k ] (where n is the size of the universe). This set is also equal to the set of properties describable using an iterative deenition for a nite set of relations of arity k. This is a ...

This paper discusses a new method, based on the principal component analysis, to estimate the directional field of fingerprints. The method not only computes the direction in any pixel location, but its coherence as well. It will be proven that this method provides exactly the same results as the method that is known from literature. Undoubtedly, the existence of a completely different solution...

This work deals with the optimization problem sup inf S(x, y), which plays, undoubtedly xeX yeY a crucial part in mathematical programming and game theory. On the basis of probability theory, a solving approach — semistochastic decomposition is proposed. This method is finite with probability 1 without any hypothesis about convexity or differentiability as it is usually required in traditional ...

This paper empirically investigates the most influential attribute between price, service and food quality that influences Malaysian consumers' purchase behaviour of fast food. Using a quantitative approach, experience young generation was tapped by using self-administered survey, 385 questionnaires were successfully collected. Through series analyses; frequency, descriptive linear regression, ...

cooperatives can be considered as suitable means to achieve social and economic development, employment and participation. undoubtedly, rural women's membership in cooperatives can be really useful in the process of rural development. social capital is one of the key determinants of women's participation in different social activities. social capital may act directly through physical ...

Communication between parents and adolescents is undoubtedly the most important process in forming social attitudes behavior of children. This study aims to analyze effect group counselling services with problem solving towards students' interpersonal communication skills. Quantitative approach applied using quasi-experimental method one pre-test post-test design. Ten students from broken home ...

This study compared the outcomes of three descriptive analysis methods-the ABC method, the conditional probability method, and the conditional and background probability method-to each other and to the results obtained from functional analyses. Six individuals who had been diagnosed with developmental delays and exhibited problem behavior participated. Functional analyses indicated that partici...

The diversity that exists in Indonesia is undoubtedly unique, fact has several aspects, of course this become a separate icon for various regions Indonesia, especially the variety religions and thoughts. Today, every problem be it economic, political, cultural, racial ethnic occurs because moral degradation narrowness thinking about national democracy. So also an influence on development educat...

Since it encompasses all facets of life, including health, hope, job, family, environment, and other aspects daily existence, quality life is one the most important factors that may be categorized as a multidimensional term. However, each person's living circumstances might undoubtedly vary, which has an impact on how they perceive their life. This study uses descriptive survey method to invest...

We aim to generalize Büchi’s fundamental theorem on the coincidence of recognizable and MSO-definable languages to a weighted timed setting. For this, we investigate weighted timed automata and show how we can extend Wilke’s relative distance logic with weights taken from an arbitrary semiring. We show that every formula in our logic can effectively be transformed into a weighted timed automato...
