The main purpose of the study was to investigate the distinctness and reliability of analytic (or multitrait) rating dimensions and their relationships to holistic scores and e-rater essay feature variables in the context of the TOEFL computer-based test (CBT) writing assessment. Data analyzed in the study were analytic and holistic essay scores provided by human raters and essay feature variab...

This is the first part of a work dedicated to the study of Bernstein-Sato polynomials for several analytic functions depending on parameters. The main result of this part is a constructibility result for the analytic Gröbner fan of a parametric ideal in the ring of analytic differential operators. In this part, the main tool is the notion of generic reduced standard basis.

samuel taylor coleridge is the most symbolic of all romantic poets. through his creative imagination, coleridge creates symbols that disguise the philosophical ideas, and something fresh and unsullied out of the chaos of different images and associations. it is simply imagination that enables the romantic poet to present spiritually perceived things, and resolves his conflict by returning to “d...

e-tourism has evolved as a mainstay business for tourist service providers. it plays an integral role in the dissemination of information and influencing consumer’s preferences and satisfaction. the purpose of this study is to identify the dimensions of service quality perceptions of consumers in e-tourism in the indian context. it also aims to understand the relative impact of these service qu...

In this work we study the Positive Extension (PE) property and Hilbert’s 17th Problem for real analytic germs and sets. A real analytic germ Xo of Ro has the PE property if every positive semidefinite analytic function germ on Xo has a positive semidefinite analytic extension to Ro ; analogously one states the PE property for a global real analytic set X in an open set Ω of R. These PE properti...

Abstract   The Analytic Network Process (ANP) is a generalization of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The basic structure is an influence network of clusters and nodes contained within the clusters. Priorities are established in the same way they are in the AHP using pairwise comparisons and judgment. Many decision problems cannot be structured hierarchically because they involve the inter...

hi this paper we present an algorithm for translating from a particular non-anMytic proof system to analytic proofs. Moreover, some results about the translation in the other direction are refornmlated and known algorithms improved, hnplementation of the algorithms presented for use in research and teaching logic is under way at Carnegie-Mellon University in the framework of TPS and its educati...
