Abstract We report research into the evolvement of a hybrid learning environment where education, companies and government successfully cooperate. This environment—one latest inventions in curriculum design—is special because it was neither intended nor planned by parties involved. With some self-astonishment, participants this experienced growing acknowledgement their emerging educational crea...

In software engineering and elsewhere, different people may work intensively with different, but related, artefacts, e.g. models, documents, or code. They may use bidirectional transformations (bx) to maintain consistency between them. Naturally, they do not want their deliberate decisions disrupted, or their comprehension of their artefact interfered with, by a bx that makes changes to their a...

Speaking rate is thought to affect the spectral features of vowels. Target-undershoot models of vowel production predict more spectral reduction and coarticulation of vowels in fast-rate speech than in normal-rate speech. To test this prediction, a meaningful Dutch text of about 850 words was read twice by an experienced newscaster, once at a normal speaking rate and once as fast as possible. A...

In software engineering and elsewhere, it is common for different people to work intensively with different, but related, artefacts, e.g. models, documents, or code. They may use bidirectional transformations (bx) to maintain consistency between them. Naturally, they do not want their deliberate decisions disrupted, or their comprehension of their artefact interfered with, by a bx that makes ch...

The current American system of financing and delivering long-term care for the elderly and the younger disabled population is badly broken. At present, the United States does not have, either in the private or the public sectors, satisfactory mechanisms for helping people anticipate and pay for long-term care. In particular, the disabled elderly and their families find, often to their astonishm...

Can you easily form mental pictures from the descriptions of scenery that are so frequently met with in novels and books of travel? More than 100 years ago Francis Galton [1] sent out a list of questions, including this one, to gather statistics on the character of mental imagery. Many people reported vivid mental imagery, but not the scientists on his list. “To my astonishment”, Galton reporte...

By using data extracted from text books ones my own creation whose grammaticalty acceptability are previously tested several native speakers, through distributional method its various technical analysis, the research found that can be classified into least four ling...

Several studies have investigated emotional reactions to instrumental music. However, on the effect of lyrics emotions are limited. Previous suggest that importance may vary cross-culturally. The aim this study was twofold: investigate effects aroused and psychological mechanisms with music explore whether these differ Fifty participants from Portugal Sweden listened six musical stimuli based t...
