Based on the cooperative principle brought up by American philosopher of language named Grice, with exemplification and explanation violation four maxims, this paper also combines hedges, analyzing translation hedges so as to better manage implicit explicit information in translation. Meanwhile, how conversational maxims operate a text can contribute characterization style, “the perceived disti...

Fulfilling the production objectives of a grassland-based beef system requires a robust management strategy to secure the best practicable use of forage resources with regard to the cattle demand. To address the challenging issue of designing such strategies, this article describes the application of an ontology of agricultural production systems to the generic conceptual model SEDIVER, which s...

Some studies on child labor have shown that, at the level of the household, greater land wealth leads to higher child labor, thereby casting doubt on the hypothesis that child labor is caused by poverty. This paper argues that the missing ingredient may be an explicit modeling of the labor market. We develop a simple model which suggests the possibility of an inverted-U relationship between lan...

We use the auxiliary principle technique to suggest and analyze an implicit method for solving the equilibrium problems on Hadamard manifolds. The convergence of this new implicit method requires only the speudomonotonicity, which is a weaker condition than monotonicity. Some special cases are also considered.

For architectural design decisions, a high number of goals and constraints has to be considered. For a proper management of their complexity and as a precondition for tool support, they have to be modeled explicitly. Existing approaches fail to provide a predictable, rigor decision-making as well as a to deal with incomplete or even partly contradicting information. This paper presents an appro...

The prevalence of implicit intergroup bias in adults underscores the importance of knowing when during development such biases are most amenable to change. Although research suggests that implicit intergroup bias undergoes little change across development, no studies have directly examined whether developmental differences exist in the capacity for novel implicit associations to form or change....
