The related applications are limited due to the static characteristics on existing relatedness calculation algorithms. We proposed a method aiming to efficiently compute the dynamic relatedness between Chinese entity-pairs, which changes over time. Our method consists of three components: using cooccurrence statistics method to mine the co-occurrence information of entities from the news texts,...

There is a rich literature on conditions guaranteeing that certain sums of residue classes cover certain other residue classes modulo some integer N . Often it is of particular importance for applications to know that the class 0 mod N can be represented as a sum of the studied residue classes, and the zero class is often the most difficult case. A well-known result along these lines is the fam...

This article explores the motivations behind Russian men’s altruistic sperm donation using Alderfer's Existence-Relatedness-Growth (ERG) model. Among sample of 86 men, altru-istic motivation is mostly driven by existence and relatedness. Correlations tests indicated two patterns: 1) men needs are more willing to maintain contact with future child less prone self-promotion; 2) relatedness demon-...

A square difference 3-equitable labeling of a graph G with vertex set V is a bijection f from V to {1, 2,.... | V | } jg such that if each edge uv is assigned the label -1 if |[f (u)]2 [f (v)]2 | = -1(mod 4), the label 0 if |[f (u)]2 [f (v)]2 | = 0(mod 4) and the label 1 if |[f (u)]2 [f (v)]| = 1(mod 4), then the number of edges labeled with i and the number of edges labelled with j differ by a...

A graph G is equitably k-colorable if its vertices can be partitioned into k independent sets in such a way that the number of vertices in any two sets differ by at most one. The smallest integer k for which such a coloring exists is known as the equitable chromatic number of G and it is denoted by χ=(G). In this paper the problem of determinig the value of equitable chromatic number for multic...

McNamara and Pylyavskyy conjectured precisely which connected skew shapes are maximal in the Schur-positivity order, which says that B ≤s A if sA − sB is Schurpositive. Towards this, McNamara and van Willigenburg proved that it suffices to study equitable ribbons, namely ribbons whose row lengths are all of length a or (a+ 1) for a ≥ 2. In this paper we confirm the conjecture of McNamara and Py...

Introduction Student teachers (henceforth: students) in higher education often experience feelings of emotional loneliness that negatively impact upon their well-being and motivation to learn. Consequently, the importance social learning for students has gained increased prominence, with Teacher Learning Groups (TLGs), is, configurations which students, in-service teachers, teacher educators, s...

According to self-determination theory, people have three basic psychological needs: relatedness, competence, and autonomy. Of these, the authors reasoned that relatedness need satisfaction is particularly important for promoting prosocial behavior because of the increased sense of connectedness to others that this engenders. In Experiment 1, the authors manipulated relatedness, autonomy, compe...

Evidence from studies with adult rodents indicates that individual recognition enables distinctions between familiar individuals irrespective of relatedness (but including close kin) and a separate mechanism enables discriminations based on genetic relatedness without prior familiarity. For example, adult mice could assess the extent of their genetic relatedness to unfamiliar individuals using ...

Research has demonstrated the importance of relatedness perceptions to self-determined motivation in physical education. Therefore, studies have begun to examine the social factors contributing to feelings of relatedness. The purpose of this study was to examine teacher (perceived emotional support) and peer (acceptance, friendship quality) relationship variables to feelings of relatedness, mot...
