This work studies the stability and the stochastic properties of neural activity evoked by external stimulation. The underlying nonlocal model describes the spatiotemporal response dynamics of neural populations involving both synaptic delay and axonal transmission delay. We show that the linear model recasts to a set of affine delay differential equations in spatial Fourier space. Besides a st...

This study investigated the effects of corrective feedback (CF) on the acquisition of English prepositions to find out which one would be more effective for third-grade high school learners in their grammar performance. This study also examined declarative and interrogative recasts to see which one the participants preferred to improve their grammar performance. To this end,75 out of 130 female...

A high-order quadrature algorithm is presented for computing integrals over curved surfaces and volumes whose geometry implicitly defined by the level sets of (one or more) multivariate polynomials. The recasts as graph an defined, multi-valued height function, applies a dimension reduction approach needing only one-dimensional quadrature. In particular, we explore use Gauss-Legendre tanh-sinh ...

Abstract While innovative approaches to urban transformations are increasingly proposed, scholars often overlook challenges faced by endogenous actors (e.g. planners) tasked with taking action within non-ideal, real-world settings. Here we argue that an ‘inside’ view of (focused on judgment in practice) is needed complement existing ‘outside’ views assessment), where the feasibility becomes a c...

Computer-related accidents have caused injuries and fatalities in mining as well as other indus­ tries. Normal accident theory (NAT) explains that some accidents are inevitable because of system complexity. NAT is a classic argument in organizational sociology although it has been criticized as having imprecise deWnitions and lacking criteria for quantifying complexity. These limitations are ad...

Written by Russian playwright Asya Voloshina, the 2013 Antigona : Redukciia is, as author herself refers to it, 'a political satire with elements of poetry and reduction', which recasts Sophocles' title character, Antigone, from an existentialist tragic figure a rebel, whose actions protest become inevitably ironically performative in highly mediatised culture social media influencers post-trut...
