A guiding principle of all scientific inquiry is that the power of a theory should be extended only if such an extension leads to greater insight than a more constrained theory. This principle, which goes by the name of Occam’s Razor, should be applied to the problem of constraining the set of universal constraints in an Optimality Theoretic (OT) model of grammar. Recent work in OT has seen a b...

aim: the purpose of this study was to compare the difference in the output intensity of light emitting diode (led) light cure (lc) devices with and without a protective sleeve and its clinical significance.  materials and methods: the output intensity of 152 lc units in dental offices across the state of odisha were examined. the collection of related information included an average number of e...

The problem of output constraints in linear systems is considered and a new methodology which helps the closed loop respect these limits is described. The new methodology invokes ideas from the anti-windup literature in order to address the problem from a practical point of view. This leads to a design procedure very much like that found in anti-windup design: first a linear controller ignoring...

Moraic theory has been successful in formally representing the distinction between long and short vowels and between single consonants and geminates (Hayes 1989). In this sense, the mora represents a timing unit – segments attached to two moras are longer than segments attached to one. Such a conception of the mora is also appropriate when length distinctions are not binary. Broselow et al. (19...

In this paper, we characterize and analyze the set of strategic stealthy false-data injection attacks on discretetime linear systems. In particular, the threat scenarios tackled in the paper consider adversaries that aim at deteriorating the system’s performance by maximizing the corresponding quadratic cost function, while remaining stealthy with respect to anomaly detectors. As opposed to oth...

This paper aims to investigate the role of each aggregate spending component in the monetary policy transmission in Indonesia. It assesses the relative strength of the role of each spending component in the monetary policy transmission. In so doing, this study employs the contribution analysis, which is calculated based on the cumulative impulse response of each component of GDP to a monetary p...

In this paper, a multi-objective optimization method is implemented by using of genetic algorithm techniques in order to determine optimum configuration of solar chimney power plant. The objective function which is simultaneously considered in the analysis is output power of the plant. Output power of the system is maximized. Design parameters of the considered plant include collector radius (R...

This study was an attempt to investigate whether output tasks, i.e., reconstruction and picturecuedwriting tasks, promote learners’ noticing of English passive structure compared to nonoutputtasks, i.e., reading comprehension and if so, which output task is more effective inenhancing learners’ noticing. In addition, this study aimed to investigate whether output tasksfacilitate learning of Engl...

In the perspective of assessing existing and new speech input and output devices, the development of methods for computerised semi-automatic labelling of speech data is becoming increasingly important. This paper describes preliminary work to achieving this goal by utilising Neural Network technique to perform phonemic classification. The speech data used for Neural Network learning are taken f...
