The number of publications in the area of Cutting and Packing (C&P) has increased considerably over the last two decades. The typology of C&P problems introduced by Dyckhoff [Dyckhoff, H., 1990. A typology of cutting and packing problems. European Journal of Operational Research 44, 145–159] initially provided an excellent instrument for the organisation and categorisation of existing and new l...

Penultimate stress in monomorphemic forms is invariant (1a-c). In suffixed forms (1d-f), by contrast, stress falls on the antepenultimate syllable. These deviations from penultimate stress serve a function: by retaining stress on the antepenult, stress of the suffixed stems matches stress of the stems in isolation. In this paper I show that an analysis of accentual faithfulness using base-deriv...

PURPOSE The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine how clinical team leadership can facilitate a collaborative team and, in doing so, drive change in a health service. DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH Ethnographic field work was conducted with a clinical team, comprised of 13 health professionals, in community health, in Sydney Australia. Utilising semi-structured interviews, data were co...

humans are equipped with some universal or language-specific abilities to recognize emotions. however, because of the different emotional contents in diverse languages and the relevant cultural differences, humans with different cultural backgrounds own different metapragmatical abilities to recognize and express emotions. a hypothesis concerning emotional effects about intonation and particle ...

This is perhaps the kind of thing that seems obvious in hindsight, but we initially thought that our typology generation algorithm had a bug when it produced the following results: (1) Using the constraints ONSET, NOCODA, DEP-C, DEP-V, MAX to model the CV-syllable theory of Prince and Smolensky (1993:ch 6) over the 14 forms in the input set CV 3 = 3 i=1 {C, V} i (i.e., all strings of C and V up...

This study attempted to apply age at onset typology in ICD-10 diagnosed opioid dependence. The sample comprised 80 men seeking treatment at an addiction clinic. The measures included socio-demographic and clinical profile, Severity of Opioid Dependence Questionnaire, Modified Sensation Seeking Scale, Multiphasic Personality Questionnaire (MPQ) and Family History Assessment Module. A cut-off age...

BACKGROUND Making the built environment accessible for all regardless of functional capacity is an important goal for public health efforts. Considerable impediments to achieving this goal suggest the need for valid measurements of acccessibility and for greater attention to the complexity of person-environment fit issues. To address these needs, this study aimed to provide a methodological pla...

In many languages, the stress pattern of a complex word resembles the stress of its morphological base or another related word. I refer to this phenomenon as accentual faithfulness (cf. Alderete 1999). A classic example comes from the English word orìginálity, which resembles the accentual profile of its immediate subconstituent oríginal (cf. monomorphemic words like Mèditerránean). This paper ...

In this paper we numerically investigate nonlinear impairments in a WDM system with mixed PM (D)QPSK and OOK channels. First we analyze the dependence of XPM and XPolM on SOP and baud rate in absence of PMD. In this case we find that the nonlinear impairments are highly dependent on relative SOP between the PM (D)QPSK and neighbouring OOK channels. The dependence on relative SOP is more pronoun...
