Results are given on the measurements of the hard diffractive interactions at HERA ep collider. The structure of the diffractive exchange in terms of partons and the factorisation properties are discussed, in particular by comparing the QCD predictions for dijets and D * with measurements both in the photo and electroproduction regimes.

The Series in Applied Psychology offers publications that emphasize research and its applications to important issues of human behavior in a variety of social settings. The objective is to bridge both academic and applied interests. This book, Inclusive Leadership: The Essential Leader-Follower Relationship, is an important addition to our series and represents a valuable contribution to the ev...

The attitudes held by pre-service teachers have been shown to affect their willingness and ability to implement an inclusive approach to education. A sample consisting of 193 pre-service secondary teachers enrolled in secondary education courses at an Australian university were surveyed to determine their attitudes towards inclusive education, with a particular focus on attitudinal changes acro...

Kin selection theory based on the concept of inclusive fitness is often presented as a general approach that can deal with many aspects of evolutionary dynamics. Here we show that this is not the case. Instead, inclusive fitness considerations rest on fragile assumptions, which do not hold in general. The quantitative analysis of kin selection relies completely on inclusive fitness theory. No o...

Inclusive Education is concerned with removing barriers to learning with the participation of all learners vulnerable to exclusion and marginalisation. To train up teachers for inclusive Education environment, government gave emphasis on teacher training about Inclusive Education. The objective of the study is to explore the perception of primary school teachers about inclusive education, speci...

A growing number of children with intellectual disabilities attend inclusive schools in Indonesia. Previous research has suggested that teachers' type of school and experience influences their beliefs about inclusive education. This research collected questionnaire data from 267 Indonesian teachers and compared the responses from those working in inclusive, special and regular schools regarding...

A class of Markov chains we call successively lumpable is specified for which it is shown that the stationary probabilities can be obtained by successively computing the stationary probabilities of a propitiously constructed sequence of Markov chains. Each of the latter chains has a(typically much) smaller state space and this yields significant computational improvements. We discuss how the re...

Workflow graphs represent the main control-flow constructs of industrial process modeling languages such as BPMN, EPC and UML Activity diagrams, whereas free-choice workflow nets is a well understood class of Petri nets that possesses many efficient analysis techniques. In this paper, we provide new results on the translation between workflow graphs and free-choice workflow nets. We distinguish...
