the purpose of this study was to measure reading comprehension strategies when tell me more and sweet english software were utilized to enhance the traditional reading comprehension practice. the study focused on evaluation of four strategies (i.e., scanning, skimming, inferencing and headline guessing) in reading comprehension in three different classes at an english language institute in iran...

Introduction This package provides functions for discoverying linear recurrence equations with polynomial coefficients satisfied by the entries of a given array. It extends the functionality of existing packages like Mallinger's GeneratingFunctions.m or Salvy and Zimmermann's gfun in two directions: (1) it is more general in that, e.g., multivariate recurrences, or recurrences of a particular s...

This paper defends the view, put roughly, that to think p is guess answer question at hand, and rationally for one’s be (in a certain sense) non-arbitrary. Some theses will argued along way include: thinking question-sensitive and, correspondingly, ‘thinks’ context-sensitive; it can rational while having arbitrarily low credence p; that, nonetheless, closed under entailment; does ...

Some interesting results on a guessing wiretapper’s performance on a Shannon cipher system are summarized. The performance metrics are exponents of guessing moments and probability of large deviations. Connections with compression and the game of twenty questions are discussed. Asymptotic optimality of guessing attacks based on Lempel-Ziv coding lengths is highlighted.

The problem of guessing a random string is revisited. The relationship between guessing without distortion and compression is extended to the case when source alphabet size is countably infinite. Further, similar relationship is established for the case when distortion allowed by establishing a tight relationship between rate distortion codes and guessing strategies.

We analyze the notion of guessing model, a way to assign combinatorial properties to arbitrary regular cardinals. Guessing models can be used, in combination with inaccessibility, to characterize various large cardinals axioms, ranging from supercompactness to rank-to-rank embeddings. The majority of these large cardinals properties can be defined in terms of suitable elementary embeddings j : ...
