Knowledge discovery is a time-consuming and space intensive endeavor. By distributing such an endeavor, we can diminish both time and space. System INDED(pronounced \indeed") is an inductive implementation that performs rule discovery using the techniques of inductive logic programming and accumulates and handles knowledge using a deductive nonmonotonic reasoning engine. We present four schemes...

this study investigated the relative effects of deductive and inductive form-focused instruction (ffi) on the acquisition of 4 non-generic definite article uses(cultural, situational, structural, and textual) as assessed by explicit and implicit outcome measures. the tests utilized to assess efl learners' acquisition of definite article uses were timed and untimed grammaticality judgment tests....

We present a principle for introducing new types in type theory which generalises strictly positive indexed inductive data types. In this new principle a set A is defined inductively simultaneously with an A-indexed set B, which is also defined inductively. Compared to indexed inductive definitions, the novelty is that the index set A is generated inductively simultaneously with B. In other wor...

one of the most dazzling events in the atmosphere is lightning. during updrafts in the life cycle of cumulus clouds, collision of graupels and ice crystals in the presence of liquid water results in vertical separation of electrical charges and lightning. there are four types of lightening depending on the location of discharge. the first type is cloud-to-ground lightning or fork lightning that...

Universities face the challenge of developing undergraduate structural engineering students' design judgement. This study evaluates whether introducing ‘learning from failure', centralised around ‘real-world' case studies, serves to facilitate development judgement in design. The identifies use three characteristics judgement: diagnostic, inductive, and interpretive work first-year students. Th...

Future’s penetration of more distributed generation will have an effect on the power system’s stability and controllability. In general, wind power as a distributed generator does not have inertial response and does not supply control power. A third characteristic of wind power is that it is not conventionally controlled and its main resource is fluctuating. This paper describes a methodology t...
