I accomplish two things in this paper. First I expose some important limitations of the contemporary literature on the norms of assertion and in the process illuminate a host of new directions and forms that an account of assertional norms might take. Second I leverage those insights to suggest a new account of the relation­ ship between knowledge and assertion, which arguably outperforms the s...

In this paper we prove that any sumset or difference set has large E 3 energy. Also, we give a full description of families of sets having critical relations between some kind of energies such as E k , T k and Gowers norms. In particular, we give criteria for a set to be a • set of the form H Λ, where H + H is small and Λ has " random structure " , • set equal to a disjoint union of sets H j ea...

The Automated Evaluation of Scientific Writing, or AESW, is the task of identifying sentences in need of correction to ensure their appropriateness in a scientific prose. The data set comes from a professional editing company, VTeX, with two aligned versions of the same text – before and after editing – and covers a variety of textual infelicities that proofreaders have edited. While previous s...

Premised on two social-psychological perspectives, the costreward theory of helping and social exchange theory, our study made one of the first attempts to explore the processes involved in online knowledge sharing among academicians. We collected data from management conference presenters (n=530) by the use of quasi-experimental approach. The results revealed that, on receiving a request to sh...

This paper aims to discuss some inequalities for unitarily invariant norms. We obtain several inequalities for unitarily invariant norms.

This paper describes two aspects of the application of tactile information presentation in the cockpit. The first half of the paper discusses why the tactile channel might be used instead of, or in addition to, the more common visual and auditory channels. It lists several categories of information used in cockpits and explores their appropriateness for tactile stimulation. The second half of t...

The inquiry semantics approach of the Nigel computational systemic grammar of English has proved capable of revealing distinctions within propositional content that the text planning process needs to control in order for adequate text to be generated. An extension to the chooser and inquiry framework motiwLted by a Japanese clause generator capable of expressing levels of politeness makes this ...

Many researchers have access to different survey sources, each with similar variables. These researchers are often interested in the appropriateness of bringing together the data from the different sources for the purpose of data analysis, particularly when each source has a small sample size for the question being studied. We address a variety of topics that the researchers should be aware of ...
