Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being employed in many areas such as photography, emergency, entertainment, defence, agriculture, forestry, mining and construction. Over the last decade, UAV technology has found applications numerous construction project phases, ranging from site mapping, progress monitoring, building inspection, damage assessments, material delivery. While extensive studie...

This paper gives an analysis explaining various cases where the scope of two logical operators is non-permutable in a sentence. The explanation depends on a theory of derivational economy couched in the synchronous tree adjoining grammar framework. Locality restrictions made using the STAG formalism allow us to limit the computational complexity of using transderivational constraints and allows...

In games with multiple, Pareto-rankable equilibria and repeated play, does a history of playing an inefficient equilibrium make it harder for the players to reach the efficient equilibrium? In other words, can people ‘get stuck’ in bad equilibria? Using variants of the stag hunt, previous studies have found support for this, but they have relied on naturally occurring variation in precedent. I ...

The effectiveness of pre-play communication in achieving efficient outcomes has long been a subject of controversy. Aumann conjectures that, in a variant of the Stag Hunt game, “an agreement to play [the efficient outcome] conveys no information about what the players will do” and thus should not affect behavior. Farrell and Rabin suspect that cheap talk will achieve efficiency. Results show im...

In the framework of game theory and cooperation, we study standard two-person population games when agents in the population are allowed to move to better positions in a twodimensional diluted grid. We show that cooperation may thrive for small interaction radius and when mobility is low. Furthermore, we show that, even when the agents cannot change their game strategy, interesting spatial patt...

In this paper, we present an STAG analysis of English reflexives. In the spirit of Ryant and Scheffler (2006) and Kallmeyer and Romero (2007), reflexives are represented as a multi-component set in the syntax, with a degenerate auxiliary tree controlling the φ feature agreement between a reflexive and its antecedent. On the semantics side, the reflexive is a valence-reducing λexpression, identi...
