This study examined to study how respondents rely on the Internet to fulfill the various life goals dimensioned into understanding, orientation and playing goals, and how this dependency relates to the generation of social capital. Further, it examined the resources of social capital in terms of bonding social capita and bridging social capital. In this study quantitative research approach was ...

We propose Q(D)-resolution, a proof system for Quantified BooleanFormulas. Q(D)-resolution is a generalization of Q-resolution parameterized bya dependency scheme D. This system is closely related to search-based QCNFsolvers that use dependency schemes to generalize the QDPLL algorithm, suchas DepQBF. We prove thatQ(D)-resolution is sound by presenting a transfor-mation of Q...

Past research has shown that when rats received 0.4mg base/kg nicotine paired reliably with intermittent sucrose delivery that anticipatory sucrose-seeking behavior (i.e., goal tracking) was differentially displayed in the nicotine state relative to intermixed saline sessions in which no sucrose was delivered. The present research extended this observation to a lower dose of nicotine (i.e., 0.2...

We study the effect of extrinsic noise in metabolic networks. We introduce external random fluctuations at the kinetic level, and show how these lead to a stochastic generalization of standard metabolic control analysis. While summation and connectivity theorems hold true in the presence of extrinsic noise, control coefficients incorporate its effect through an explicit dependency on the noise ...

A predictive understanding of the ecological impacts of nonnative species has been slow to develop, owing largely to an apparent dearth of clearly defined hypotheses and the lack of a broad theoretical framework. The context dependency of impact has fueled the perception that meaningful generalizations are nonexistent. Here, we identified and reviewed 19 testable hypotheses that explain tempora...

If we are to develop better methods of integrating elderly people into society then above all we need a better sociology of the ageing and the aged. In this paper I wish to put forward the thesis that the dependency of the elderly in the twentieth century is being manufactured socially and that its seventy is unnecessary.' The process can therefore be revised or at least modified. Certain major...

Many orga~lizat~ional problems can be decoinposed into nearly iildepeizdent subproblems the solution of which is the responsibility of independent agents. In this kind of work, which we call distributed work, the problems are only nearly independent since dependencies exist between the comlllitinents required from each agent. As a consequence of these dependencies, the coordination problelll be...
