This paper will report on lessons learned from two studies using blended learning courses involving past and present experience of the authors. Will also discuss the importance of online asynchronous discussions in the teaching and learning process. The paper concludes with suggested guidelines for the use of asynchronous online discussions, considered useful for instructors who teach for the f...

This paper gives an overview of work on a computational approach to representing lexically governed polysemy. The framework is illustrated with an account of the interpretation of compound nouns and with some examples of extended usages of words. I discuss how generative devices can be controlled to avoid an explosion in interpretations a din the number

Let 0= U0,n ≤ U1,n ≤ ··· ≤ Un−1,n ≤ Un,n = 1 be an ordered sample from uniform [0,1] distribution, and Din = Ui,n −Ui−1,n, i = 1,2, . . . ,n; n = 1,2, . . . , be their spacings, and let f1n, . . . , fnn be a set of measurable functions. In this paper, the probabilities of the moderate and Cramer-type large deviation theorems for statistics Rn(D)= f1n(nD1n) + ···+ fnn(nDnn) are proved. Applicati...

Abstract This paper is inspired by and develops on E. J. Lowe’s work, who writes in his book The Possibility of Metaphysics that ‘metaphysical possibility an inescapable determinant actuality’ (1998: 9). deals with possibilities – metaphysical but not able to determine what actual without the help empirical research. Accordingly, a delimitation space required. resulting controversial picture we...
