With the demands of effective pedagogy for 21st century, teachers are in constant search a teaching tool that is more fun, and interesting promotes positive learning. Thus, this study ascertained effectiveness humorous anecdotes as motivational improving students’ performance Purposive Communication. Using quasi-experimental design, student's speaking writing performances were evaluated served ...

Jaw movement is analyzed as an action between two rigid components jointed together in a particular way, the movable mandible against the stabilized cranium. Opening and closing movements are symmetrical; that is, both sides of the cranio-mandibular articulation are making the same movements. Protrusive and retrusive movements may also be symmetrical. The mandibular muscles determine all the co...

Abstract The Fairlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM) family has been investigated in detail for various continuous marginals such as Cauchy, normal, exponential, gamma, Weibull, lognormal and others. It has been a popular model for the bivariate distribution with mild dependence. However, bivariate FGM’s with continuous marginals on a bounded support discussed in the literature are only those with uni...

The purposive approach to computer vision has been much discussed in recent years, but there have been few tests of the viability of the paradigm in a working vision system. We have tested the approach in the context of vision for a mobile robot performing tasks in a typical, unaltered o ce environment. In particular, we examine the approach in the context of a trash collection task; the task t...

We present an approach for building an affine representation of an unknown curved object viewed under orthographic projection from images of its occluding contour. It is based on the observation that the projection of a point on a curved, featureless surface can be computed along a special viewing direction that does not belong to the point’s tangent plane. We show that by circumnavigating the ...

Skinner's major goal in writing The BehaviorofOrganisms (1938) was to extend the rigor, simplicity, and lawfulness of the study of spinal reflexes (Crozier & Hoagland, 1934; Magnus, 1924; Sherrington, 1906) to the study of purposive behavior. As Skinner (1938) notes, "the older study of spinal reflexes and the modern study of behavior are logically and to a great extent historically continuous"...
