Open-ended survey responses, where respondents provide responses in an unstructured, open-text format instead of defined response categories, are often a successful way to solicit authentic and unexpected feedback, highlight the diversity or nuances opinions, capture “why” that complements quantitative data. However, there many challenges analyzing reporting open-ended This article draws on vis...

Artificial agents trying to achieve communicative goals in situated interactions in the real-world need powerful computational systems for conceptualizing their environment. In order to provide embodied artificial systems with rich semantics reminiscent of human language complexity, agents need ways of both conceptualizing complex compositional semantic structure and actively reconstructing sem...

Contact formations have proven useful for programming robots by demonstration for operations involving contact. These techniques require real time recognition of contact formations. Single ended contact formation (SECF) classifiers using only forces/torques measured at the wrist of the robot have been shown to be quite effective for this purpose. To function properly, however, previous SECF cla...

The purpose of the study is investigating the association between promotion, social attitude and family planning in selected cities of Amhara Region. Both quantitative and qualitative data were used to conduct this study. The  quantitative  frames  were  used  to  gather  the  inquired  data  from  respondents  with  closed  ended  questionnaires  and  qualitative data was collected from record...

In his seminal work The Art of Computer Programming [2], Knuth was the first to consider a number of classic data structures from the point of view of the permutations they could produce from the identity permutation, or equinumerously, the permutations which the data structure can sort. Famously, he noticed that the permutations obtainable using a single stack are exactly those which avoid the...

A non-isolated high voltage gain DC-DC converter has been presented in this paper. The boost, SEPIC and modified SEPIC converters were nalyzed and their performance was compared with the proposed converter. The proposed converter has been designed for the input voltage of 5 V and an output voltage of 150 V with 100 W output power. The efficiency of the converter obtained was 92.5%, which is hig...

We present a Prolog implementation of real-time persistent queues and double-ended queues. Our implementation is inspired by Okasaki’s lazy-functional approach, but relies only on standard Prolog, comprising of the pure subset plus if-then-else constructs to efficiently implement guards and meta-calls for convenience. The resulting data structure is a nice demonstration of the fact that the use...

In May, 1939, a report on the financial results secured on 98 " mixed " dairy farms on the North Cork-Limerick border, m the accounting year ended 30th April, 1938, was presented to the Society. (Journal S S I 1938-39) For 93 of these farms, comparable data were again collected m 1939, covering the accounting-year ended 30th April, 1939, and portion of these data appeared m the Society's Journa...
