We study k-Schur functions characterized by k-tableaux, proving combinatorial properties such as a k-Pieri rule and a k-conjugation. This new approach relies on developing the theory of k-tableaux, and includes the introduction of a weight-permuting involution on these tableaux that generalizes the Bender-Knuth involution. This work lays the groundwork needed to prove that the set of k-Schur Li...

Traditional INSERTION SORT runs in O(n) time because each insertion takes O(n) time. When people run INSERTION SORT in the physical world, they leave gaps between items to accelerate insertions. Gaps help in computers as well. This paper shows that GAPPED INSERTION SORT has insertion times of O(logn) with high probability, yielding a total running time of O(n logn) with high probability.

BACKGROUND Over-investigation of low-risk patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) represents a growing problem. The combination of gestalt estimate of low suspicion for PE, together with the PE rule-out criteria [PERC(-): age < 50 years, pulse < 100 beats min(-1), SaO(2) >or= 95%, no hemoptysis, no estrogen use, no surgery/trauma requiring hospitalization within 4 weeks, no prior venous...

Gestalt psychologists proposed two distinct learning mechanisms. Associative learning occurs gradually through the repeated co-occurrence of external stimuli or memories. Insight learning occurs suddenly when people discover new relationships within their prior knowledge as a result of reasoning or problem solving processes that re-organize or restructure that knowledge. While there has been a ...

The present paper shows the adaption of the numerical model originally developed by Weigand and Beer [14] for calculating steady-state ice layers inside an asymmetrically cooled parallel-plate channel. The investigation shows the characteristics in ice formation behaviour due to asymmetrically cooled walls. Further, a simple analytical model is presented for calculating smooth ice layers in tur...

ly defined feeling states arid the rest of experience has a heuristic function, it contradicts fundamental systems principles. The mutual influence between an emotional feeling and a particular cognition or perception creates a unique gestalt Pleasure in Duchenne smiling, the feeling of mutual positive involvement with a partner, and the sensation of tightened cheeks, all are inextricably combi...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a selected motor program (as a motor experience) on manipulative skills in 4-6-year-old boys. 40 subjects were selected randomly using a personal information questionnaire. after the pretest, the ulrich&apos;s test of gross motor development (2000) including fundamental motor skills, locomotors skills, manipulative skills and controllin...

We explore the interaction of sentential negation and word order in Basque using a small experimental implemented grammar based on the Grammar Matrix (Bender et al., 2002, 2010) to test the analyses. We find that the analysis of free word order (Fokkens, 2010) provided by the Grammar Matrix customization system can be adapted to handle the Basque facts, and that the constructional approach take...
