(CA), and in general parallel generative devices such as Lindenmayer systems, to produce images, fractals, growth patterns in two dimensions, and sound. They usually implement these models on special-purpose architectures that often depend on the type of presentation being generated. (See the “Related Work” sidebar for more details about previous research.) We have developed our own prototype f...

atigue is a common complaint in the working population. Approximately 20% of the working population report symptoms that fall under the concept of fatigue. 1 Other surveys have reported prevalence rates of fatigue varying from 7% to 45%, depending on the instruments used and the applied cut off points. 2 At first sight, the presence of fatigue in a working population does not give much reason f...

1. Examples Example 1.1. The field extension Q(√ 2, √ 3)/Q is Galois of degree 4, so its Galois group has order 4. The elements of the Galois group are determined by their values on √ 2 and √ 3. The Q-conjugates of √ 2 and √ 3 are ± √ 2 and ± √ 3, so we get at most four possible automorphisms in the Galois group. See Table 1. Since the Galois group has order 4, these 4 possible assignments of v...

We investigate how and why the productivity of a worker varies as a function of the productivity of her co-workers in a group production process. In theory, the introduction of a high productivity worker could lower the effort of incumbent workers because of free riding; or it could increase the effort of incumbent workers because of peer effects induced by social norms, social pressure, or lea...

The sequential deletion method is generally used to locate the functional domain of a protein. With this method, in order to find the various N-terminal truncated mutants, researchers have to investigate the ATG-like codons, to design various multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) forward primers and to do several PCR experiments. This web server (N-terminal Truncated Mutants Generator for c...

Purpose This study aims to investigate the associations among decent work (DW), capabilities and flourishing of employees in a South African context. Design/methodology/approach A cross-sectional survey was conducted with convenience sample ( N = 436) early childhood development practitioners from two provinces. demographic questionnaire, Decent Work Scale , Capability Set for Questionnaire Flo...

SEMANTIC SYNTAX (SeSyn) is a direct continuation of work done in the '60s and '70s under the name of GENERATIVE SEMANTICS. The main component of SeSyn is a rule system (the syntax) which transforms the Semantic Analysis (SA) of any given sentence into a Surface Structure (SS) of that sentence. The SAs represent meanings in a higher order Predicate Calculus, according to a small set of context-f...
