The fallacy persists in discourse analysis research to explore lexicogrammatical phenomena detached from any adjacent plane of the meaning potential. In an attempt to dispel this and toss out some preconceived notions about what a modern SFG vantage point should involve, this study homes in on one aspect of SFG within prose fiction in particular, which is very revealing in terms of how separ...

Semiotic Engineering is a semiotic theory of HCI that views humancomputer interaction as a contingent process of designer-to-user metacommunication. The theory currently has two evaluation methods, Communicability Evaluation and Semiotic Inspection. The aim of our research is to do a critical analysis of both methods in order to align them with each other, especially in ontological and epistemi...

As society changes, new ways of understanding and using existing semiotic resources are needed. This study looks at artefacts from a social semiotic perspective in order to explore the concepts of ‘recycling’ and ‘upcycling’ and their relevance for pedagogy in Higher Education. We look at recycling in terms of ‘texts’ and employ methodological tools from multimodal discourse analysis. ‘Recyclin...

Wedefine different concepts of group strategy-proofness for social choice functions. We discuss the connections between the defined concepts under different assumptions on their domains of definition. We characterize the social choice functions that satisfy each one of them and whose ranges consist of two alternatives, in terms of two types of basic properties. Finally, we obtain the functional...

This paper looks at the development of a class of Exponential Compact Higher Order (ECHO) schemes and attempts to comprehend their behaviour by introducing different combinations of discrete source function and its derivatives. The characteristic analysis is performed for one-dimensional schemes to understand the efficiency of the scheme and a similar analysis has been introduced for higher dim...

We have constructed a poker classification system which makes informed betting decisions based upon three defining features extracted while playing poker: hand value, risk, and aggressiveness. The system is implemented as a poker player agent, and as such, the goals of the classifier are not only to correctly determine whether each hand should be folded, called, or raised, but to win as many ch...

The paper contributes the proof of termination of an experimental supercom-piler HOSC dealing with higher-order functions. В работе приводится доказательство завершаемости экпериментального суперкомпилятора HOSC, работающего с функциями высших порядков.

in this study we investigate voice productions of normal speakers and patients with varying vocal fold adduction deficiencies using a noninvasive method to measure spatial vibrations of the larynx. the current version accv4 of our acceleration sensor device was used. The study’s primary goal is to find out whether lesions of vocal folds lead to additional spatial vibration modes compared to a n...
