This paper presents a transformational approach for the derivation of asynchronous parallel programs. Transformation rules are based on a theory, called Pei. This theory includes the deenitions of problems , programs and transformation rules. It is founded on the simple mathematical concepts of multiset and of an equivalence between their representations as data elds. Program transformations ar...

The relationships between leader's power, transformational leadership, and followers' duty-orientation (Karma-Yoga) and spirituality (oneness with all beings) were studied using a sample of 471 managers from two manufacturing organizations in western India. It was hypothesized that leader's power enhances transformational leadership, and transformational leadership enhances followers' duty-orie...

  Abstract The present study begins by sketching "Chaos/Complexity Theory" (C/CT) and its applica-tion to the nature of language and language acquisition. Then, the theory of "Universal Grammar" (UG) is explicated with an eye to C/CT. Firstly, it is revealed that CCT may or may not be allied with a theory of language acquisition that takes UG as the initial state of language acquisition for ...

This chapter will motivate why it is useful to consider the topic of derivations and fi ltering in more detail. We will argue against the popular belief that the minimalist program and optimality theory are incompatible theories in that the former places the explanatory burden on the generative device (the computational system CHL) whereas the latter places it on the fi ltering device (the OT e...

Although the practice of leadership has changed considerably over time, the need for leaders and leadership has not (Bass, 1990a; Kouzes & Posner, 1995). Already in 1990, Bass (1990a) found a proliferation of leadership books (over 3, 300). Since the publication of Burns's (1978) seminal work on transforming leadership the number of leadership programs at various higher education institutions h...
