In this paper we reconsider the connectedness effect discussed by Kayne (1983), and illustrated in the examples (1)-(3). Kayne observed that in VO languages, left branch constituents are strong islands for extraction; however, an illegitimate gap inside a left branch island can be rescued by another gap embedded in a lower right branch constituent. The examples in (1)-(2) illustrate preverbal s...

Course construction using reusable learning objects is becoming ever more popular due to its’ efficiency. The course creator who uses this methodology may face problems due to the fact that he or she is not as intimately involved in the creation of every element of the course. In this paper we discuss one such problem faced by course creator known as “the competency gap”. Here, we define the co...

In this work, we achieve gap amplification for the Small-Set Expansion problem. Specifically, we show that an instance of the Small-Set Expansion Problem with completeness ε and soundness 12 is at least as difficult as Small-Set Expansion with completeness ε and soundness f (ε), for any function f (ε) which grows faster than √ ε. We achieve this amplification via random walks – the output graph...

Servitization in the manufacturing industry implies a shift from an offer based mainly on standard goods, to a wider value proposition composed of solutions aimed at solving specific customers’ problems, obtained by integrating tangible and intangible elements. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the servitization strategies of manufacturing firms, more specifically about: (i) how manuf...

Purpose: The paper suggests a way to support work-integrated learning for knowledge work which poses a great challenge for current research and practice. Methodology/Approach: We first suggest a Workplace Learning Context Model which has been derived by analyzing knowledge work and the knowledge sources used by knowledge workers. We then focus on the part of the context which specifies competen...

This document briefly introduces the existing mechanisms that could be utilized for IPv6 site renumbering and tries to cover most of the explicit issues and requirements associated with IPv6 renumbering. The content is mainly a gap analysis that provides a basis for future works to identify and develop solutions or to stimulate such development as appropriate. The gap analysis is organized by t...

Current Status • In the last IETF meeting, there were two practice & gap analysis drafts presented. – draft-liu-dmm-of-deployment-00 – draft-zuniga-dmm-gap-analysis-03 • The authors decide to merge those two drafts according to the chairs suggestion. – draft-ietf-dmm-best-practices-gap-analysis-00 Progress • Progress: – Initial proposal for the structure of the draft. – WG draft has been submit...
