The paper treats an agent-based model with averaging dynamics to which we refer as the K-averaging model. Broadly speaking, our can be added growing list of exhibiting self-organization such well-known Vicsek-type models [1, 2, 29]. In $K$-averaging model, each $N$ particles updates their position by over $K$ randomly selected additional noise. To make more tractable, first establish a propagat...

Post Keynesian macrodynamic models make various assumptions about the normal rate of capacity utilization. Those rooted in Classical and neo-Keynesian traditions assume is fixed, whereas Kaleckian treat it as a variable that endogenous to actual This paper contributes debate utilization by developing model strong or genuine hysteresis, which firms discrete decisions depending on degree uncertai...

Manga has become increasingly popular in the United States since 1990s, and over time, strategies employed translating these texts for English-speaking audiences have shifted. As translation practices changed, so too status of sociocultural construct 'Japaneseness' – a commodified branding Japanese elements translated manga. A striking example this shift can be seen two English translations Nao...

The oldest contemporary human mitochondrial lineages arose in Africa. The earliest divergent extant maternal offshoot, namely haplogroup L0d, is represented by click-speaking forager peoples of southern Africa. Broadly defined as Khoesan, contemporary Khoesan are today largely restricted to the semidesert regions of Namibia and Botswana, whereas archeological, historical, and genetic evidence p...

Broadly speaking, if the primary objective of the back-ofthe-book indexer is to help the reader locate specific topics within a single, usually lengthy, document, the primary objective of the database indexer is to help the reader find entire documents, typically journal articles, on specific topics within some large document collection. While a back-of-the-book index is usually part of the doc...

In this paper we study a property of time-dependent graphs, dubbed “path ranking invariance”. Broadly speaking, graph is invariant” if the ordering its paths (w.r.t. travel time) independent start time. show that, path invariant, solution large class vehicle routing problems can be obtained by solving suitably defined (and simpler) time-independent problems. We also how checked linear program. ...

40 The Hearing Journal January 2017 H ow does bilingualism affect listening? We think of bilingualism— and language experience more broadly—as a form of auditory learning. Children who grow up speaking multiple languages have enriched auditory environments. They need to focus on making multiple sound-tomeaning connections in their ongoing interactions. While they are speaking one language, they...

Fluctuation theorems are one of the pillars non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Broadly speaking, they concern statistical distribution quantities such as heat, work or entropy production. Quantum experiments, however, usually can only assess these distributions indirectly. In this letter we provide an experimental demonstration a quantum fluctuation theorem where production is obtained directly fr...

The refurbishment of traditional vernacular architecture is currently interest for the conservation heritage, historic landscape and cultural landscape, as well its potential benefits in field environmental sustainability. carefully selected materials techniques used a dwelling Sesga (Valencia, Spain) maintain local construction while causing least possible impact, saving on transport transform...

The vital role individual differences, such as personality variation, play has long been discussed as the origin of different learning abilities. Accordingly, a cross-sectional survey and a descriptive study was conducted. Data was gathered from a sample of 150 students of both genders (107 females and 43 males) with an age range of 19-22. The translated and validated versions of the Big Five p...
