Leopardi introduced the notion of a Kronecker quotient in [Paul Leopardi. A generalized FFT for Clifford algebras. Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society, 11:663–688, 2005.]. This article considers the basic properties that a Kronecker quotient should satisfy and additional properties which may be satisfied. A class of Kronecker quotients for which these properties have a natural descript...

the current study was after probing the would-be correlation between emotional intelligence (and its subcomponents), on the one hand, and metacognitive listening strategies used by academic efl learners, on the other. benefiting from 72 female and 40 male university students from urmia university, urmia azad university and salams azad university, the current study also strived to find the possi...

Emotion analysis is an important field of study, with many applications for security, financial, and politician. Despite beinga subjective branch emotion can be simulated by Machine Learning algorithms that are trained this purpose, throughcataloged audio datasets, they recognize patterns in these media could related to corresponding emotion. Neural NetworkAlgorithms able work on the recognitio...

Feeding, eating and deglutition difficulties are key concerns in patients with cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome (CFCS). This study intends to quantify the development of feeding skills from birth adulthood CFCS. Twenty-seven (eight males; mean age: 16.7 ± 8.3 years; median 15 years, age range: 1.5–38 years) molecularly confirmed clinical diagnosis CFCS were prospectively recruited Rare Disease Uni...

We use circular sequences to give an improved lower bound on the minimum number of (≤ k)-sets in a set of points in general position. We then use this to show that if S is a set of n points in general position, then the number (S) of convex quadrilaterals determined by the points in S is at least 0.37553 ( n 4 ) +O(n). This in turn implies that the rectilinear crossing number cr(Kn) of the comp...

Given n lines in the plane, a (1/r)-cutting is a subdivision of the plane into cells such that each cell intersects at most n/r lines. Cuttings are fundamental to the design of geometric divide-and-conquer algorithms and have numerous applications. Early suboptimal constructions of cuttings were given implicitly in the works by Megiddo and by Dyer in the 80s; simple randomized constructions wer...

The path VC-dimension of a graph G is the size of the largest set U of vertices of G such that each subset of U is the intersection of U with a subpath of G. The VC-dimension for graphs was introduced by Kranakis, et al. [KKR97], building on an idea of Haussler and Welzl [HW87]. We show that computing the path VC-dimension of a graph is Σp3-complete. This adds a rare natural Σ p 3-complete prob...

Non-dominated sorting, dividing the population into several non-domination levels, is a basic step for many Pareto-based evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO) algorithms. Different from the generational scheme, where the selection of next parents is conducted after the generation of a population of offspring, the steady-state scheme updates the parent population whenever a new candidat...
