Furthermore, by using [2, p. 230, (1)] a computable representation for the G-function in (1) (and hence also for F,112(s)) may be given in terms of essentially a linear combination of four hypergeometric functions OF3[b2s2 /16] provided that no two of the parameters {1, 1 1+v-P1v-P) differ by an integer. This result for Fv-112(s) is given (correctly) in [3, p. 353, (9)] so that the proposed int...

The analytic dependence of Dirichlet-Neumann operators (DNO) with respect to variations of their domain of definition has been successfully used to devise diverse computational strategies for their estimation. These strategies have historically proven very competitive when dealing with small deviations from exactly solvable geometries, as in this case the perturbation series of the DNO can be e...

Insight provenance—a historical record of the process and rationale by which an insight is derived—is an essential requirement in many visual analytics applications. While work in this area has relied on either manually recorded provenance (e.g., user notes) or automatically recorded event-based insight provenance (e.g., clicks, drags, and key-presses), both approaches have fundamental limitati...

The analytic narratives project represents an effort to clarify and make explicit the approach adopted by numerous scholars trying to combine historical and comparative research with rational choice models. In order to understand instances of institutional origin and change, analytic narrativists insist on the combination of deep knowledge of the case and an explicit theoretical model. These re...

Growing evidence has demonstrated cultural differences in cognitive processes. Whereas individuals living in interdependent social worlds, as illustrated by East Asian cultures, have been shown to have a more holistic cognitive style, those living in independent social environments, as exemplified by Western cultures, have been shown to have a more analytic cognitive style. Recent evidence has ...

This paper presents applications of a technique for estimating influences of the Channel Bias on phonological typology called Bootstrapping Sound Changes (BSC). Following Author (2017), we argue that for any synchronic alternation, the BSC technique enables estimation of the probability that the alternation arises based on the number of sound changes it requires and their respective probabiliti...

Locking and timestamping are two popular approaches to concurrency control in databases systems. Although more than a dozen analytic performance studies of locking techniques have recently appeared in the literature, analytic performance study of timestamp–based concurrency algorithms largely remains an unexplored area. This work presents a model of a distributed database system which provides ...

Inspired by inquiry-guided learning and critical self-reflection as pedagogical approaches, we describe exercises that encourage students to develop critical thinking skills through inquiry and reflective writing. Students compile questions and reflections throughout the course and, at the end of the term, use their writings for a comprehensive analytic self-reflection that examines their intel...

This self-contained introduction shows how stochastic geometry techniques can be used for studying the behavior of heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs). The unified treatment of analytic results and approaches, collected for the first time in a single volume, includes the mathematical tools and techniques used to derive them. A single canonical problem formulation encompassing the analytic de...
