The present article argues for what is essentially a return to the functionalist approach to investigation of memory. Two experiments demonstrate that the effects of level of processing depend on scaled meaningfulness of the material and study time. Data from those experiments along with data currently in the literature are then reanalyzed to examine the effect of repetitions. Of particular int...

There are an estimated 20,000 East Timorese people living in Australia. The majority came to Australia as refugees mainly between 1975 and 1995 fleeing first a civil war, then the violent Indonesian regime which invaded upon Portugal’s withdrawal from the tiny territory after 400 years of colonisation. Over the years, many members of the East Timorese refugee diaspora in Australia were active i...

In this paper, we present a new approach to linearizing zero-one quadratic minimization problem which has many applications in computer science and communications. Our algorithm is based on the observation that the quadratic term of zero-one variables has two equivalent piece-wise formulations, convex and concave cases. The convex piece-wise objective function and/or constraints play a great ro...

In this paper, first we examine the usual treatment of temporal information and we recall the main features relative to the temporality analysis in texts. Then we deal with the formal representation of calendar expressions, and we provide a functional approach, based on a categorical representation of ordinals. Finally, an ongoing application providing a help for the reading of long biography i...

For several decades, Restoration studies have noted deficiencies in the treatment of the theology of leadership and of practical ecclesiology. This paper responds to the lack of research linking ecclesiology to organizational design and to the theology of leadership in the Church of Christ tradition by building upon the ecclesiological framework composed of theological tradition, church metapho...

In this note we use a functional approach to the integral to obtain a special case of the Keisler-Fubini theorem; the general case can be obtained with a similar proof. An immediate appUcation is the standard Fubini theorem for products of Radon measures. Similar methods give the Weil formula for quotient groups of compact Abelian groups.
