In this paper we describe an experiment in which MANIFOLD is used to coordinate the interprocess communication in a parallelized proposition solver. MANIFOLD is very well suited for applications involving dynamic process creation and dynamically changing (ir)regular communication patterns among sets of independent concurrent cooperating processes. The idea in this case study is simple. The prop...

The continuous extension of the discrete duality symmetry of the SchwarzSen model is studied. The corresponding infinitesimal generator Q turns out to be local, gauge invariant and metric independent. Furthermore, Q commutes with all the conformal group generators. We also show that Q is equivalent to the non—local duality transformation generator found in the Hamiltonian formulation of Maxwell...

While all vulnerable adolescents are more at risk online than their non-vulnerable peers, those with special educational needs (SEN) require targeted and specialised support. Although they not a homogenous group, SEN commonly experience social isolation lack of connection or meaningful relationships peers in offline lives. Many perceive the internet as route to alternative means communicating i...

The origins of the capabilities approach within welfare economics are to be found in a series of influential papers and monographs, written by Amartya Sen in the early eighties of the previous century (Sen, 1980, 1985a; Sen et al., 1987). He developed and discussed the approach further in some widely read books (Sen, 1992, 1999; Nussbaum and Sen, 1993). The basic purpose of the approach is neat...

Children with special educational needs (SEN) are more likely to experience victimisation at school and there is some evidence to suggest that these children are also more likely to engage in bullying behaviours; however, no measure of bullying experiences has been designed specifically for use with these children. The Bullying Behaviour and Experiences Scale (BBES) was specifically developed a...

Simple heteroscedasticity is discussed in detail by Sen (1984), Sen & Ponnuswamy (1991) and Rahaman and Sen (1995). In this paper, heteroscedasticity is considered in a RBD assuming error variances vary from cell to cell. There are more than one observations per cell in this layout. The twoway general heteroscedastic model is considered here with interaction. On the assumption that the unequal ...
