In this essay, Leonard Waks contributes to a reconceptualization of ‘‘fundamental educational change.’’ By distinguishing sharply between educational change at the organizational and the institutional levels, Waks shows that the mechanisms of change at these two levels are entirely different. He then establishes, by means of a conceptual argument, that fundamental educational change takes place...

Extracting open relational tuples that are mediated by nouns (instead of verbs) is important since titles and entity attributes are often expressed nominally. While appositives and possessives are easy to handle, a difficult and important class of nominal extractions requires interpreting compound noun phrases (e.g., “Google CEO Larry Page”). We substantially improve the quality of Open IE from...

For Larry Markus on the occasion of his 70 th birthday. ABSTRACT: We consider a model for the radially symmetric evolution (by accretion or dissolution) of the interface between a `pure' solid grain and a liquid solution of the same substance with diiusion both of material and heat. After analyzing the direct problem, we show existence of optimal controls .

in this paper, we give some characterizations for legendre spherical, legendre normal and legendre rectifying curves in the 3-dimensional sasakian space. furthermore, we show that legendre spherical curves are also legendre normal curves. in particular, we prove that the inverse of curvature of a legendre rectifying curve is a non-constant linear function of the arclength parameter.

University of California, Los Angeles This paper presents evidence for abstract phonology-that is, a phonology that recognizes underlying segments which are not realized phonetically. Two underlying vowel segments /o/ and /e/ are posited for Nupe (a Kwa language of Central Nigeria), both of which are realized as [a], therefore merging ('absolutely neutralizing') with /a/. Arguments based on pat...
